I can’t imagine it’s possible to love these Chicago nuptials any more than I already do.  With the breathtaking urban garden setting of The Ivy Room at Tree Studios, all of the vibrant yellow blooms by Scarlet Petal (including one of my faves, tulips) and a magical candlelit reception, I think the more appropriate term would be “completely enamored.

This is the perfect inspiration for anyone who loves the ballet or all things girl-y and feminine. The perfect mix of music and movement, I’m loving all the details including the vintage looking music sheets wrapped into a cone, holding petals for the adorable flower girls festooned with baby’s breath crowns and tutus. Captured by Sara Donaldson and designed by...

I can say with certainty that I never, ever tire of poring over images from a Nantucket fête. Pretty pictures from the Grey Lady just never get old. I have an inkling that the rest of you are on board with me too, particular when those gorgeous images are from Davina + Daniel. It doesn’t hurt when the couple tying the knot are as handsome as they come, making the Grey Lady look even more ravishing. Want to see more?

Hopefully you tuned in this weekend to quite possibly the coolest wedding film I’ve ever seen. In case you did not recognize the leading lady of the film, let me introduce you to Carla Ten Eyck. Wedding photographer extraordinaire, genius behind the lens, and pretty much the coolest person ever. So when Carla...

It’s raining cats and dogs this Monday morning, so a Boca Grande beauty by K and K Photography seems to be the perfect way to get lost for the day. It’s 100% beach chic, with it’s fabulous color palette, gorgeous bride and groom, and perfect seaside setting. Not to mention the bride’s engagement ring literally knocked my socks right off my feet. Although I guess being sock-less is a good thing for getting...

From this moment on, when I think of romance, I will think of these lovely Garrison nuptials courtesy of the oh-so-amazing Exquisite Affairs Productions.  Overflowing with gorgeous detail after gorgeous detail, they are as fairy tale-esque as they come.  A soft yellow color palette, beautiful florals by Linda Baldwin Flowers, a charming cake topper and...

Before I let you get too far into this post, I feel the need to warn you to wait until you have more than a few minutes to devote to SMP this morning. Why? Because you will want to watch this video at least three times, or honestly, probably closer to ten or twelve. It’s maybe the coolest wedding video I’ve ever seen. Vintage Cinema sent it our way, and I have watched it an embarrassing amount of times. The video features...

It’s been such a pretty week here at SMP, so much so that we’re not quite ready to pack up and leave for the weekend just yet, so we figured we’d keep the pretty train rolling right through your Friday night with this sweet little lakeside photo shoot by Callie V Photography. We’re loving the crisp blue, yellow and white color palette and think it’s perfect for your late summer or early fall wedding.

It’s that time again, LBBers. The end of the week, when we part ways for a couple days. I am going to drop a little, okay a BIG hint, that you will definitely want to check in tomorrow for one of my favorite pieces of cinematographic work in the world. And then again Monday morning for a week of lovely weddings, starting with the vow renewal of one of our favorite LBB photographers. And that’s all I’m going to say. To send you off into a beautiful weekend, we’ve got a...

I do believe this seaside chic soiree by Jacobus Photography is what dreams are made of. Specifically, my dreams. Bursting at the seams with blush hues, my new favorite hue mind you, and vintage southern touches – I think you’d be hard pressed to find someone whose dreams weren’t made of this wedding. You have the entire weekend to soak up each and every image in...

As someone who tied the knot on the third of July, I can attest to the level of difficulty concerning an sweet, Americana wedding with a tasteful smattering of red, white, and blue. So often, it can come out not quite right – too over-the-top patriotic, so understated that the nuptials no longer read good old U S of A. With the help of Proud to Plan, this couple NAILED it. The whole affair was chic, classic, and had just enough...

Before you launch into all the lovely of this Lake Erie affair by Lauryn Byrdy Photography, I highly recommend scrolling on down to read the bride’s description of her day because it will make each image so incredibly special. Go ahead, I’ll wait up here…Back? Ok now do you see what I mean? This couple not only pulled off a gorgeous waterside soiree complete with bright, happy florals and details around every corner...
