I la-la-love this wedding. It’s so girly, so charming, filled with perfect details that would make any girl completely swoon. I am thrilled that the photographer, Jeremy Harwell, sent it my way!

The incredible flowers were designed by Virtu, a great floral studio out of Atlanta. Their portfolio is filled with absolutely gorgeous designs that hint but don’t overwhelm you with their natural elegance. Love them.

I took one look at this lovely wedding and knew that it was an SMP feature. There is something so sweet, so precious about the 40’s inspired affair. Jeremy Harwell, the photographer behind the day, did a spectacular job at telling the beautiful story of the day.

The location itself, Dunaway Gardens, is unbelievably special…it was originally established by a film actress and her husband and served as a training ground for producers, directors and performers of the arts during the 20’s, 30’s and 40’s. Walt Disney was even a frequent guest! So, this lovely couple, found their inspiration in the venue’s roots and designed a wedding that seemed at home in the perfect space.

Laura Burlton with D. Jones Photography in Houston sent us two really fabulous weddings that she shot, and it was such a toss-up which one to start with! Their styles are so different. Their locations are so different. But they both stand testament to the fact that with love ~ laughter ~ friends & family ~ and a great photographer, your wedding day will be nothing short of fantastic!

A humongous thank you to Elizabeth and Johnny for letting us share in their absolutely lovely celebration. And, to Kitty and Craig Fritz of Twin Lens for sending us the awe inspiring photographs. Spending the morning with you guys was a complete and total delight! Here are a few more bits of eye candy and some fun details from Elizabeth and Johnny’s affair!

We had people to tell us we should cut costs by asking a friend or an art student to take the pictures, and I am thrilled that we completely ignored that advice. We set out looking for photographers who could really capture the essence of the day. Cheesy photos of wedding parties jumping in the air and grooms dipping their brides didn’t interest us. We wanted the pictures to not only remind us of how we felt during the celebration, but to convey to those who couldn’t make it a real sense of what it was like to be there. Johnny and I are both novice photographers, and we love a more photo-journalist style.  Kitty and Craig absolutely exceeded our expectations. Not only were they in the thick of everything, but they pulled it off without being the least bit intrusive. They were like ninja photographers! And the pictures represent the day so intimately and honestly, people joyfully tear up when looking at them. The added bonus of them living in the very same New Mexico village where our wedding was held was simply too serendipitous to ignore.

I know that I’ve said it a million times today, but I am totally and completely smitten with Kitty and Craig Fritz of Twin Lens. Their work is always breathtaking, always captivating. Partner their talents up with a couple that is as gorgeous as they are completely cool…and the result is total perfection!

From Elizabeth, the lovely, lovely bride…

“My only rules going into this were no glue guns and no fondant.”

Classic first words from today’s gorgeous bride as she described her vision to Kitty and Craig of Twin Lens Images. The bride wanted a wedding that was all about the love, all about the romance. And most importantly, all about the friends and family that they shared their life with. And the result captured my heart completely!

Elizabeth, the bride, has been sweet enough to share some really beautiful details from her wedding….

Today’s featured affair, shot by the FABULOUS Kitty and Craig of Twin Lens, is all about the romance. The pure, gorgeous, jump for joy romance. Before we get into details, I just wanted to take a pause and share these absolutely incredible photographs that Twin Lens captured…

Aren’t they right out of a movie? Whenever Twin Lens sends us a wedding, I always have the same dilemma…I get so caught up in the photography, the absolutely breathtaking wall-art-worthy images of the couple, that I can’t ever figure out how to show you the details, all of which are equally amazing. There is just something about the candid photographs that they capture that steal my heart each and every time.
