"August 2010"

When I visited Sonoma for the first time nearly ten years ago, you would have thought I was looking at the eighth wonder of the world.

And this wine country wedding is no exception. Photographed...

We love a short wedding dress, and this one does not disappoint.  The bride found this sweet little BCBG dress on eBay for just $110...SCORE!  Even though the bride says that the "one word to sum up the plan for our wedding would be budget", they certainly did not scrimp on style.  They infused their personalities throughout (check out the adorable mad libs below) and handmade all the papergoods themselves.  We are swooning over their creative style and are certain you will soon be too.

Little known tidbit. A lot of the inspiration shoots that we feature come from photography workshops. Where some of the best photographers in the world essentially re-create a wedding so that they can impart their words of wedding wisdom to up and comers. It's pretty genius if you ask me. Photographers get to learn how to snap all of the little details that make a wedding so swoon worthy...and WE get to eat up all of the eye candy! Well, some of the best photography workshops come from the...
