I am a bit at a loss for words for this next feature. Which is rare considering that I spend my life coming up with just the right words to describe every perfect wedding detail that we share on SMP. But this one is different. It’s a collaboration between three people that are kind of like the Queens-of-All-Things-Gorgeous, and I literally dropped my jaw when I saw what they had come up with. Event designer Lisa Vorce of...
We’ve seen our fill of destination weddings in the land of palm trees, coconuts and aqua colored ocean and they always deliver dreamy to the dreamiest degree. But I don’t know if we’ve ever seen Hawaii quite like this – whimsical and vibrant. This is a destination wedding that only Sarah and Chris Rhoads of Sarah Rhoads Photographers could capture so perfectly. Believe me, we are crazy for details around these parts...
I like to think of Savannah as being beautifully timeless. Maybe it’s the Spanish moss clinging to the old oak trees, or perhaps it’s the slower pace of living. It could be the copious amounts of delicious sweet tea available. Whatever it is, Savannah’s vintage charm was the perfect backdrop for this gorgeous wedding from Tricia Huddas & Co Events. The bride and groom drove off into the sunset in a classic 1956...
The husband of wife team behind Desi Baytan Photography have completely made our Friday with their most recent engagement shoot at the Santa Monica Pier. It is filled to the brim with light hearted moments, fun-filled scenery, a knock-out dress and the kind of adorable chemistry you can’t fake. This cute couple is the real deal and if their engagement session is any indication of what’s to come, we can’t wait to see their...
Planning a summertime wedding with an outdoor reception would be a daunting task to many. Downright impossible in some parts of the country. But for this couple, it was literally a dream come true. The fact that their family has property in West Virginia, there’s a quaint little white church right down the road, and they had the wedding planning expertise of the lovely ladies at Atrendy Wedding in their...
With the Royal Wedding just around the corner, this English garden inspiration photographed by uber talent, Jessica Claire is just the thing to get us in a tea-sipping, wonderful hat wearing kind of mood. Of course, we’re ALWAYS in the mood for a little gorgeous photo shoot gazing and all the fabulous details crafted by Lindye Galloway Events make for one pretty...
I love Dan and Natalie of Watson Studios. For many reasons, but on the top of my list is their ability to capture the very essence of the couple’s personality in each and every wedding I’ve seen from them. So you know when they were asked to capture the wedding of their dear friend in the gorgeous mountains of North Carolina, it was going to be a good one. Well folks, it turned out better than good. It’s all that...
I feel the need to preface this wedding with a warning that you may be searching for the nearest jazz lounge as soon as you finish taking everything in. This is definitely one of the coolest and most eclectic celebrations we’ve seen in a while. The bride wanted something fun and unique, and I’m positive she got it. A downtown Minneapolis ambiance, a sweet ceremony in a pasta bar, and a dark, jazzy reception in a sexy club are the ingredients to this striking wedding. They were...
Over here at SMP we love unique fashion and we looove customized details. Which is why we are completely and totally obsessed with Franklin + Gower. With most fashion-attention going to the bride and her maids, this new style studio has made it their mission to take care of your guy and his best buds, adding style and flair to the other side of the aisle. To sum it up, we’re in love. And you’re about to see why. Oh, and...
Be prepared to have some serious wedding venue envy! Sutherland Kovach Studio sent us this gem all the way from New Zealand with stunning views of Auckland and the Hauraki Gulf. The whole affair has a casual, backyard feel to it but still shines with elegance. I love the wild, garden party arrangements and handcrafted details made out of vintage paper. ...
Oh my goodness, are you ready for the most glamorous Hindu/Catholic wedding you’ve ever seen? I’m serious, this multicultural event from the amazing Joseph at IQ Photo is just that. Drop dead gorgeous. The multiple culturally rich ceremonies are fittingly accompanied by some of the most vibrant pink I have ever laid eyes on. I have not been able to pick my jaw up off my desk since I first laid eyes on this amazing celebration!
From the looks of this lovely Toronto wedding, not all backyards are created equal. This particular outdoor space seems perfectly suited for a garden celebration and Aga and Marcin of AGAiMAGES captured it beautifully with the help of their friend Scott of Capturing the Light. See what happens when three amazing photographers come together to shoot one amazing backyard...
This Northern California wedding brings together everything we love about backyard weddings. There are loads of handmade details, a breathtaking setting and two creative, cuties at the center of it all. Shannon Montez‘s gorgeous, light-filled images exude romance and capture the laid-back elegance of the day. ...
Everything about this California wedding by Amanda Thiessen Photography, set on the sandy shores of Laguna Beach, is just all kinds of pretty. Soft, feminine details and vintage touches are sure to weaken the knees of our inner girlie girls. But my favorite part of this beach bash? The glowing, happy faces of the gorgeous bride and groom and their two cutie pups! ...
Let me just preface this pretty wedding by saying that each and every time we feature nuptials in the golden fields of Sonoma, our socks are completely rocked right off. It could be the generous amounts of California sun or maybe it’s something in the water out there. Who knows. We’re too busy gawking at the lovely pictures from Sasha Gulish Photography and the flowers, oh the flowers – those pretty petals are...
