Real Wedding: Jen and Andy, V

April 30th. 2009 by Abby Larson | 3 comments

A HUGE thank you to Jen and Andy for sharing their big day with us. I love the style and the total “chic” (yep, I am now using it as a noun) that you infused into your wedding, with approachable design and an all together gorgeous look. And can I just say that adding those fabric panels to the all white walls was GENIUS!

Real Wedding: Jen and Andy, IV

As I said before, this wedding is ALL about the pretty. The perfect little details that made the wedding absolutely lovely. The bright green against the stark white is shockingly perfect and with the elegance of the muted gray…perfection.

On to the absolutely gorgeous ceremony which took place at the Atlanta Contemporary Arts Center. It’s simple, it’s elegant, it’s utterly beautiful…

We found it very important to us that our ceremony be a lovely, thoughtful thing without any sense of manufactured wedding protocol. We asked a former teacher of ours to officiate, since he had known us both...

Today we are featuring the loveliest wedding ever, filled with gorgeous DIY projects and a graphic designer’s touch. Loving every little bit of this wedding, from the chic color palette, a muted gray and a bright green, to the edited, modern elegant style.

Yep, they deliver their minis anywhere in the country, perfect for a sweet, yummy favor. Love, love, love...

Emmy & Aron Give Back To New Orleans!

April 29th. 2009 by Eddye | 20 comments

Sometimes … (well, maybe most of the time) … I struggle for the right words to start a feature. But today, the word that immediately popped into my mind was “ethereal”. The play of the light streaming throughout these images can only be described as ethereal …

Aron is soooo handsome and Emmy is just about the most radiant bride I’ve ever seen! The sunshine striking her parasol and saturating her skin gives her that glow that we all long for...

Engagement Portraits by Duston Todd

Just spotted these ridiculously awesome shots over on Duston Todd’s blog. Ummm, a baby pool? How great is that! They get a little saucy in the pool too, which is kind of cute.

I am totally smitten with Duston Todd and his playful, but absolutely gorgeous photography. Definitely check out his blog for some serious eye candy!

What I love about this...

Engagement Portraits

April 29th. 2009 by Abby Larson | 15 comments

I am really curious to know how many of you are doing engagement portraits? We decided to not do any and I hugely regret it. I would love to have some really fun, artsy shots of my now husband and I before we tied the knot. So, lately, I have been kind of enamored with the creativity that couples are infusing into their photographs.

Love, love, love the bubbles! These were taken by a relatively new photographer to the scene, Kelty of...

Real Wedding: Uta and Bruce, III

Thank you so much to Jesse and Whitney, the fabulous team behind Our Labor of Love photography, for sharing this ridiculously lovely wedding with us. I have to admit, I was feeling a little burnt out today, a little tired in general. But, seeing the pure joy behind today’s affair picked me right up. It’s a good reminder as to what a wedding is all about.

And a huge congratulations to Bruce and...

Real Wedding: Uta and Bruce, II

The best part about today’s featured affair is by far the kids. They are so stinking cute. Having parents that encouraged them to kick off their shoes, run around and get a little dirty is the icing on this gorgeous wedding cake.

Kids just innately bring joy to whatever they do. It’s in their genetic make-up or something. And although having a screeching baby belt one out in the middle of your vows isn’t exactly ideal, if you have the space for the little ones to run...

Real Wedding: Uta and Bruce

Most days, I try to feature weddings that are really detail driven…that give you solid inspiration and ideas for your own affair.  But today, I am instead going a little sentimental and sharing a wedding that is completely family driven. When I saw these photographs that Our Labor of Love shot, I completely fell in love. With the couple, with the kids, with the incredibly photography. It’s a wedding after my own heart...
