I have been excited for Allen and Felicia’s Morais Vineyards wedding since the moment we first spoke on the phone.

I’m excited to share today’s post because it’s a little different than my usual branding sessions. Gohar and I connected during a styled shoot a few years ago; she’s a brilliant makeup artist and fashion designer.
