Our high quality, sturdy, Unity Puzzles make the perfect addition to any Unity Ceremony. Are you a blended family? Wanting to display your vows for years to come? What words describe the marriage you would like? Want to include your pets? Plan on having kids in the future? Our puzzles will help answer each of these questions. I work with each couple/family personally in the designing and creating of each puzzle ranging from the actual design to paint/stain colors. I also offer a variety of stain and paint colors for puzzles. I just ask that when you order you please let me know the names, established date (wedding date), if there is a certain saying you would like on the top, and if you like one of the already created puzzle designs. I have attached various puzzles I have already completed for ideas. If you don't see an idea that you like please let me know and I will be more than happy to help design it with you. - Each puzzle can accommodate from 4 to 14 pieces. Need more? the 24" accommodates more. - Our puzzles have a 1" thick backer, this allows you to attach a hanger to the back. Plus it adds stability while standing up. - The pieces are cut out and engraved out of maple plywood. - Each puzzle is stained in the colors that you choose. I offer a variety of stain and paint options (paint for the outside words) - Our puzzles come in 15", 18", or 24" circles and we also offer 14", 16", 18", and 24" square puzzles. - We clear coat each puzzle with a clear coat to protect it and preserve it for years to come. - Need a stand for your puzzle? We offer those also. A Unity Puzzle is a great alternative for the tradition candle or sand ceremony. While preforming the ceremony each family member would have a puzzle piece that they put in the puzzle. Once it is all finished the puzzle will be complete symbolizing the completion of making their family whole. These make excellent decoration after your ceremony and allow you to display for years to come the union of your family. Our puzzles are great for blended families, anniversary gifts, vow renewals, birthday gifts, or Christmas gifts. Don't see a design you would like?

First off, I'd like to say how incredibly HONORED I was that Suzie (a fellow photographer and friend) asked me to photograph her wedding. I just love Suzie and was so happy that she found Tim! Suzie had the most beautiful vision for her wedding - she wanted citrus colors which suits her personality perfectly! The day started off with the most perfect dress reveal. She stepped out of her house while her kids (and soon-to-be kids) got to look at her for the first time all dressed up. Their reactio

As you probably already know, planning a wedding is an important and personal process. When it’s your first time planning a wedding, it probably seems like there are endless new things to consider and plan in order to make the day perfect. When it comes to second wedding ideas, however, your priorities may have changed. If it’s your second rodeo, your set of struggles with the planning journey might feel totally different. You may be wondering how to plan a wedding that still feels true to you, but different from your first one. Thankfully, there are plenty of ways to
Whether you have children already, younger siblings or are a blended family, including the kids most special to you in your wedding day is important. While a full wedding day might not be thrilling to a little one, use these options to make sure all your guests — no matter their age — feel welcomed and ready to celebrate. CEREMONY ROLES Depending on the child’s personality and outgoingness, inviting them to speak in the ceremony is a fun touch. This can be as complex as having them prepare a speech or simply having them read a poem or scripture. And of course, we can’t forget the crucial role of being a flower girl or ring bearer! CUPCAKES Traditionally, it is common for weddings to have a dedicated cake for both spouses. Feel free to keep the two cakes, but also have a kids’ cake — or even cupcakes! Any excuse to have a funfetti cake and some sprinkles, right? ENTERTAINMENT Let’s be honest, weddings might be arduous to some kids! Give the day some extra fun by offering games and activities. This can include wedding- themed coloring pages and word searches, an I-Spy Bingo board, kid-friendly snack packs or backyard games. CAKE TASTING This might be the kids’ favorite part of the whole wedding process! Inviting them to your cake tasting will let them know they are involved in the wedding and that their opinions are valued in this marriage. DECORATORS What could be sweeter than crayon-illustrated table name cards? If your wedding has a more relaxed air to it, don’t be afraid to let your children join in on the decorating. This could mean giving them the task of sprinkling flower petals/confetti throughout or allowing them to get creative in outfitting the photo booth. Kids are great at thinking outside of the box, so you might as well tap into that creativity!
