Lots of exciting changes are happening at Simply Love Studio!  While we have loved our downtown Lexington location on North Broadway we are excited to announce that we are moving at the end of the month.  Our new studio space gives us tons of storage, ample free parking and a fresh and modern studio.  In addition we will have private meeting spaces for our wedding professionals, a large open area for events, storage galore and more!  We are anxious to get moved but will definitely miss our downtown location, the daily excitement it brings and the many downtown businesses and friends we have made.

Here is a teaser image to get you looking forward to our move as well!
