This is Me
Hi there! I am Missy Cochran and I love photography, I fact, you could say that I am obsessive. It all started when I got married and had my wonderfully awesome grandpa take my pictures. He was a professional photographer and I thought all photographers were the same. After the wedding, I got the pictures back and they were all very traditional. Not grandpa’s fault, but mine for not knowing what I wanted. Anyway, I realized too late that I had actually wanted something different than what I got. Since my wedding is all over, I now get to live vicariously through my awesome couples. Other stuff about me is that I make a goal every three months to run regularly, but haven’t yet quite found my mojo. I think I like the idea of being a runner but maybe I am not really one at heart! I love sweets and I love my church and doing things that add joy to my life.

A Niko Productions is awesome! They are a husband wife team and they are dedicated to producing wedding stories that are really artistic (I am all about that!). When I watch their demo, it looks like a movie instead of a wedding video. Check out their website at:

Rhyme and A Reason Flowers were so cool. They set everything up for the ceremony archway and everything. The flowers were so stylish! Just ignore the invitation picture that got mixed in 
This is also totally impressive. Adele had her bridesmaids each decorate their own bouquet with similar colors. I love love love the eclectic feel of this.

This is my 2 cents fashion tips for brides. Also, there are a couple of amazing weddings blogs that offer ideas on how to make your wedding more personal and uber lovely even if you are on a budget. On of these blogs is Style Me Pretty and another one I like to follow is Lucky Me, Oh and Elizebeth Ann Designs is good too.
So I just wanted to say that I love wedding dresses with a strap or halter or something to break up the shoulder area and unique hairpieces are so fun.

I would have to say that my favorite hair and makeup girl is Sunny Steward of Bridal Hair and Makeup (541) 219-2525. She did both the hair and makeup for my Adele bride and it was amazing!
