My first interaction with Nishaka was positive and absolute. I knew from our very first email correspondent that I absolutely wanted to work with her. I’ll never forget, I emailed her late one Friday night (a week after the proposal). She responded the same night while she was conducting an event (a wedding rehearsal, I […]

What emotions did you experience during the wedding planning process and the day of your wedding? Firstly, let me say that I am not a creative person. My husband has more of the creative eye.

Not only did I have an awesome planner/coordinator, but I gained a friend as well. My wedding planner/coordinator took the time out to get to know me, so that made the business relationship more personable. I didn’t have to worry about anything.  All I had to do was show up!  Nishaka knew exactly what I […]

From the Photographer:  When Wedding Paper Divas contacted me to do a styled shoot for them, they gave me an open slate and told me to come up with something cool that would speak to a modern bride. Durham is one of the strongest up-and-coming cities in North Carolina. From DPAC, trendy restaurants, and endless […]
