I've been doing a bit of freelance work for Lizzy C Photography, a company based in Melbourne, Australia. Lizzy is an amazing photographer and she's so fun to work with. Through the wonders of the internet, I've been assisting her with blogging, editing, and social media, and I've really enjoyed it so far. Be sure to check out her website!

This summer I wrote some of my first freelance articles, and two of them were published in Breathe Magazine's wedding issue this month. After four years of working as a journalist, I've gotten used to seeing my name in print every week in the paper, but it's fun to see it somewhere new — and to get paid for it.

Breathe is targeted toward active, health-conscious women, and I had so much fun writing about buying local for your wedding as well as going the DIY route. I interviewed some inspiring planners and brides like Alice, above, who had local blueberry jam favors, a table full of homemade pies, and an arch made out of a cattle feeder and grapevines. As glad as I am to have my own wedding behind me, there's a part of me that really misses all of the planning, and I hope to continue writing for wedding mags in the future.
