Before I head out for the day to start (yes, start) my Christmas shopping, I wanted to begin our Holiday Film Fest! Over the next two weeks, we’re going to be bringing you wedding film after wedding film to drool and envy over … to make you get serious about all the different styles of film making choices that are “out there” and to simply remind you what this whole glorious business is all about!

Our LBB cinematographers have been sorely under-represented on...

This holiday project is so gorgeous, it’s hard to believe that someone DIY-ed it. Crafted by Genevieve Nisly, these cranberry flavored liqueur gifts are so pretty, so yummy, so perfect for friends and family. Plus, crack ‘em open and they’ll definitely spice up any holiday get together. A little bit involved, but the end result is SO worth the effort.

From the photographers, we asked for a peek at some of their award winning photos and wow did we get a lot of really terrific wedding shots!

So we’re kicking it off today … the first of our Holiday Hiatus from full real-wedding posts on the...

Does anyone else care that it is negative 4 in Boston today? Ummm, that should be against the law or something. So, since I am positively freezing, I thought we could warm up a bit with an Austin, Texas wedding that is as delightful and charming as they possibly get. Photographed by Suzi Q, the wedding is this perfect combination of style and handmade charm. And heart it big time.

The wedding was held at The Mansion, a part of...

I love, love, love when we have a film clip to compliment one of our photo shoots or weddings. Well, lucky for us, Mike over at Buzz Media Company was on hand to film today’s Holiday Wedding Inspiration Shoot that Lucinda Wesson designed…and when I tell you it’s good, well. It’s REALLY good. He’s turned the shoot into an old Hollywood movie, full of glamour and romance and pure beauty.  And I...

As with most photoshoots, it takes an army of people to really bring it to life. Here are some thoughts from the major players behind today’s eye candy!

From the photographer, Anna Sawin…This incredible visual feast, laid out in sumptuous colors, tones and textures as far as the eye could see, was a photographer’s field day, particularly against the stunning winter backdrop of Elihu Island and the cozy...

Designed by Lucinda Wesson of Chocolate Creative Design, along with help from some of our favorite Connecticut vendors (see...
