Denise of Denise Brinkman Creative is a photo organization educator, graphic designer, wedding album designer, avid photo taker, and mom. A giant photo collection doesn’t intimidate her in the slightest these days! When Denise’s daughter Hazel was born, it was important for her to stay on top of her baby photos — for her sanity, for the benefit of her long-distance grandparents, and for Hazel’s sake when she inherits the collection someday. So Denise developed a system to clear the junk, mark the favorites, and keep up with my photo projects.  Because sharing her process on her Instagram account, this photo organization education business just fell into place!

Wedding planning can be a challenging task, and even the most meticulous planning may not prevent unforeseen emergencies. That’s why having an emergency kit can be helpful on your wedding day.

The emergency kit can also be divided amongst your bridesmaids for added convenience. The list contains items that cover touch-ups, wellness, wardrobe malfunctions, toiletries, and miscellaneous items.
