It looks like it’s going to be another beautiful California weekend but we thought we could brighten up your morning even more by introducing you to three fabulous new advertisers. If you take a quick peek over to your right you’ll see the stellar lineup of superstar vendors that we’ve curated just for you California brides! Make sure you check out the portfolios of these new additions – Paperee, Party Singers, and Tammy Horton Photography - and show them some SMP love!
I am a total typography nerd so it was definitely love at first sight when I saw Paperee‘s portfolio. Their clean, modern and fresh approach to design is absolutely breathtaking. They take such pride and care in choosing each font, each space, and each design and that craftsmanship definitely shows in their gorgeous stationery!

From Paperee… We love type! Our designs are modern and simple with an emphasis on beautiful typography. Over 1600 fonts were scrutinized to bring you a handful of the most beautiful. Besides a well-designed font, kerning is equally important. Notice the difference between the above default (computer-spaced ) and kerned ( hand-spaced ) “sarah&dylan.” At Paperee, each letter is manually spaced to ensure beautiful lettering. Have your wedding stationery created by people who are passionate and meticulous about design, typography and craftsmanship.

You know you’re in good hands when Darcy Miller gives two big thumbs up to a vendor and that’s exactly what Party Singers - event entertainer extraordinaires – got from the Martha Stewart Weddings editor-in-chief. No surprise either with their unique approach to wedding music that will take all the guesswork out of choosing your wedding entertainment. From romantic string ensembles to show-stopper reception bands they seriously have it ALL and it’s all amazing!

From Party Singers… A recent endorsement from Darcy Miller, editor-in-chief of Martha Stewart Weddings has helped to make PartySingers one of the most sought-after live event and wedding music companies in the U.S.
The Sing Off and Glee have helped reinvent a cappella singing in the U.S. In addition to a thorough offering of excellent solo and group singers and musicians in LA, Denver and NYC, we are proud to offer Absolute Romance - vocal a cappella quartets to replace strings! Our talented singers transition seamlessly from classical pieces to vocal jazz to current pop arrangements of songs by Jason Mraz, Coldplay, Snow Patrol, Bruno Mars, Jeff Buckley, Ray La Montagne, Colbie Caillat and more.
Started in 2007 in NYC. Expanded to LA and Denver. Over 100 talented singers and musicians nationwide available for year-round event, wedding and holiday entertainment.
SMP Brides will receive 1/2 off the first hour of a booking of two or more hours for Absolute Romance (the vocal quartet to replace strings) in LA, Denver or NYC. Please tell us SMP sent you for this discounted rate.

I could wander through Tammy Horton Photography‘s portfolio for hours. Each image is so beautiful, romantic and heartwarming. She really captures the little moments of a wedding that will make your heart melt. The sweet, tender moments that any couple would want to hold onto for years and years to come.


From Tammy Horton Photography… I started my business seven years ago as an outlet to do the one thing I love most, photography. What I didn’t expect was to discover a newfound passion in capturing the intimate moments I share with my clients on such an important day. The connections I’ve made and the experiences I’ve been a part of have far exceeded any of my career expectations. Creating beautiful memories for families is more fulfilling than anything I can imagine. The fact that I go to work everyday and truly enjoy myself while bringing so much joy to others is such a blessing and humbles me beyond belief. Sometimes I can’t believe my life!
My studio specializes in fine art weddings and portraits. I have an unobtrusive approach and a photojournalistic style. My inspirations include light, laughter, tears (laughter through tears is even better), soft focus, truly decisive moments and kindness. I try to live the best I know how, do what I love, and love what I do. If you love what I do… get in touch!
I’d like to offer 10% off new bookings for SMP readers. Just send me an email (tammy@tammyhortonphotography.com) and mention this ad and we’ll go from there!
