This bride has a smile that is contagious. You'll catch the bug when you first lay eyes on her beautiful grin captured fabulously by Manchik Photography, and the smile will really take hold of you when you spend a few moments in the film from Rising Moon Films. We know the secret to this blushing bride's show stopping smile though - how could she not be radiantly beaming when...
I've always had a crazy obsession with Moroccan rugs. They're a whole other level of gorgeous and to see them used as an aisle runner; let's just say I kind of went blogger crazy for a moment. And we haven't even touched the surface of this destination wedding. To get married in Marrakech is a complete dream. It's exotic and romantic all balled up into one beautiful spot. And with an affair planned from soup to nuts by Boutique Souk...
I need to take a moment to gush about the husband and wife team behind B&G Photography. Their images tell such a lovely story. From the getting ready shots to the ceremony and the father lifting his daughter's veil and all the other moments leading up to I Do. It's all so heart-warming, beautiful, gorgeous, every other superlative I can muster up. They know how to tell a great story and we are always up for the viewing.
Last week was our first official Macy's Bridal Shower Inspiration Week and, oh my goodness, was it amazing. Not only did we spend our Monday through Friday perusing all of the SPECTACULAR registry items that Macy's has to offer, we swooned (and swooned!)...
I heart Salvage One in Chicago big time. It is an urban wonderland with so many cool nooks and crannies just waiting for a photographer like Rebekah Albaugh of Studio Rebekah Photography to come along and capture all its vintage, industrial goodness. This super sweet wedding brings with it a wild at heart beauty perfect for the space and is packed full of personal details that will make you swoon. ...
I have a HUGE soft spot in my heart for this engagement session by Sarah Kate. The images are, of course, drop dead gorgeous, life-infused beauties - that goes without saying, but this ranch setting is just something you can make up. It's the perfect backdrop for this completely in love couple and when you throw in a pony or two...I'm sold.
There is no denying that Maui Week on SMP Destination has been pretty spectacular, but this shoot is near and dear to my heart. One because the images you are about to devour below by Erich McVey Photography are just be-yond. Works of art that capture the souls of two gorgeous people. And that brings me to my second reason I am head over heels for these images - these gorgeous people just happen to be the talents behind ...
There's just nothing sweeter than a darling homegrown affair and these adorable lovebirds have DIY down to a science... from those charming centerpieces to that stunning birch arbor to the sweet pennant flags, there's not a moment of handcrafted goodness that won't seriously tug at your heart strings. All captured in brilliant images by Chattman Photography and set against a breathtaking Plainfield Pond backdrop, you'll...
This gorgeous garden wedding by Elle Golden Photography could easily have taken place on the grounds of a French chateau. The lush gardens and ivy-covered, historic ruins conjure up visions of a whimsical, European fairytale. Of course, the insanely lovely Parisian-inspired details that this couple dreamt up only heighten the overwhelming feeling of romance and wonder. ...
Every so often, a wedding graces my screen and my breath is caught in my throat. The pure beauty of an event can do this to me without warning - when it's as utterly gorgeous as this soiree, sent our way by Signature Events, LLC. Filled with romantic and personal details, the entire day, captured by Erica Velasco, was magic unfolding in every image. And every magical image was put into...
When a team of New York City's finest vendors set out to inspire, they do so in a BIG way - it's really the only way they know how. So when we set our sights on the gorgeous images of this Marie Antoinette photo shoot by Judy Pak Photography at the Metropolitan Building we stopped dead in our blogging tracks. Because it.is.gorgeous. Their interpretation of the "Modern...
It doesn't get much more romantic than a picnic on the beach and for this darling Naples duo, a sandy spot next to the Atlantic was the PERFECT locale to celebrate their engagement. Yep, armed with just a picnic basket and cozy blanket, these two cuties spent the day snuggling and laughing over their favorite red wine and some yummy cheese. And after a day spent soaking in these gorgeous images captured by Set Free Photography...
Sometimes mixing things up a bit makes for an incredibly beautiful event. And who says you can't have drinks before the "I Do's"? Not this wedding. Guests were greeted with a pre-ceremony cocktail hour followed by a candle-lit sunset ceremony overlooking the Hudson River. Romantic doesn't even begin to describe that situation. It's all in the pictures captured by Meredith Davenport of Christian Oth Studio. And those pictures...
We have had a few of Jessica Lorren's weddings cross our SMP path as of late (like this Miami number!), and each time the photographs completely blow us away. They're wildly romantic in that dreamy, film camera sort of way and always with a cool Floridian vibe. This beauty takes the cake in the vintage category...
Ladies and gentlemen, I present you the happiest, prettiest Bride in all of Scotland. When looking through the images captured by Archibald Photography of her classic nuptials, you can almost feel her joy as she marries her kilted hubby. Her big day turned out just as lovely, just as timeless as she is herself and you can see every smile in...
Besides residing in some of the fairest weather in all the land, Southern California weddings have a MAJOR thing going for them, that would be the free and utterly breathtaking backdrop of the Pacific. A simple beach wedding, there's nothing quite like it and Becky Lew Photography knocked this one out of the park. See all of her gorgeous photographs...
In the mood for some modern inspiration to spice up your mid-afternoon?!? Well, then, you most certainly came to the right place, because this uber-chic Washington, D.C. duo literally wrote the book on contemporary affairs - and it's a study in glamour like you've never seen. From the crystal-wrapped centerpieces to the cool black and white hues, every.single.moment captured by Renee Sprink Photography is pure stylish...
I think I might have just found my most favorite ceremony venue of all time. The intimate barn with chandeliers dripping from white-washed beams is the most perfect example of rustic glam I've ever seen. Somehow this couple managed to make this already beautiful setting that much more gorgeous with lace runners, brass centerpieces and mismatched vintage china. Not to mention the dreamy photography by ...
I think yellow should be indoctrinated as best wedding color ever. It works in every single setting we come across, including a stylish beach fête with a modern flair. And if yellow is winning best color then succulents should be crowned best wedding flower plant ever. At least for today because this pretty wedding captured by Larissa Cleveland Photography is a shining example of our love affair with all of the above.
