Here is a bit more eye candy from today’s gorgeous wedding, sent to us by the forever talented Sylvie Gil…

I have to say, I am not always a fan of pink and green. It’s pretty, but not always done right. Well, this wedding…was perfection. The greens perfectly compliment the layers of pink hues and pair beautifully with the lace from Desiree’s gown. The palette seems effortless and completely...

We don’t feature many same sex weddings on Style Me Pretty…they simply don’t come across our desk very often. But, since our focus is on all things beautiful, any wedding is welcome as long as it’s gorgeous! So, when Sylvie Gil sent us today’s featured affair…I swooned.

We are chatting today with Andreas, a Toronto based photographer that specializes in spectacular black and whites and a true, honest photojournalist approach. His insight is amazing and will definitely help you understand your own style and how to articulate it to your vendors.

The thing about the photographs that Andreas captures is this…they are so alive, so full of emotion, of depth, of unabashed gorgeousness. They are perfect enough to hang on your walls, but soulful enough to bring you  to tears each time you look at them.

Today we are chatting with the unbelievably talented Toronoto based photographer Andreas, who specializes in journalistic style, black and white photography…and does so brilliantly.

I would say that my “style” is based around the idea that the best images of people are taken at the right moment when something wonderful is happening...

On my blog, we are all about full color photography. It’s not that we love the colors more than the black and whites, it’s that the full color images help you to find inspiration and ideas for your own affair. They show off the details better. But in my home…it’s all about black and white photography. The depth, the emotion, the artistic elements.

Well, one of THE most talented photographers in our...

And her newest collection of woodland inspired headpieces. They are a little bit much for a traditional bride, but if you are the kind of girl that can wear one of these beauties, you are going to make SMP very, very happy. I completely see a whichgoose crown paired with a soft, simple, flowy bohemian dress Oh, so so pretty!
