Happy New Year’s Eve!
Wow! God is good y’all. All the time God is good. 2013 has been amazing and full of amazing opportunities, exciting rebranding, plentiful publications, lovely couples, and a marriage and partnership that has further deepened between Kason and I.
2013 was also full of new friendships, big laughter, ugly cries that healed old wounds, happy cries for God’s goodness, and tons of lessons learned and memories made.
Here’s what went down:
In January we created and published our own e-magazine Be Inspired! Then we published our second issue in July! (We are currently working on our next issue, and there may be a name change!)
Did you have a chance to check out either issue? You can HERE!
We were published on 11, ELEVEN national blogs throughout the year! Amazing!
If these blog publications weren’t enough we were also published in print in 7 magazines, with a special ad purchase in Southern Weddings magazines making a total of 8 magazines that TMD’s name appeared in this year!
Two of the magazines were International! One in Norway, and the second in South Korea! Unfortunately, we weren’t able to get an actual copy from South Korea, but we love the PDF files!
God. is. good. y’all.
In April we were contacted by Live at Five’s very own Kelli Phillips and she invited us to come chat with her on the local news!
In May we had our busiest month ever for TMD with 6 weddings! 2 per weekend for 3 weekends straight! EEK! Pretty darn crazy, but we did it with God on our side and lots of organization!
Over the course of the summer we were hard at work creating the new Tamara Menges Designs with the help of KD Creative Studios, and in August we launched the prettiest new site and blog! So fresh and authentic to who we are and what matters most to us.
Also in August we became Tamara Menges Designs, LLC! Yippee! Husband and wife team is how we roll y’all!
In September, Jessica joined TMD as our Social Media Director and she has been busy-as-a-bee posting all of those pretty images of our work from the best photographers we know all over facebook and pinterest! She has also provided some super fun blog posts as well! We love you Jess!
In November we crossed a few state lines and headed to Pensacola, Florida for our first out-of-state wedding! Thank you Erin and Mrs. Byrne for letting us be a part!
As December approached, we wanted to create a special Christmas gift for each of our couples and some special vendor friends! We researched an awesome Etsy vendor and had ornaments created! We also wanted to recap our year with a fun infographic of how the year went down!
Wow! What a year huh?! We are thrilled, and giddy, and excited to see what God has planned for us in 2014! Stay tuned for an exciting publication announcement coming tomorrow on New Year’s day! It’s a pretty special one!
How awesome was 2013 for you?! We’d love to hear about it!
xoxo, Tamara
