Today, I find myself in a bit of a bind! The need for an LBB blog feature with little (to no) prep time due to an unexpected glitch in my schedule. So ~ where do I turn? No question ... the Marantz' blog!
I LOVE their blog. I know that whether they are posting one of their astonishing weddings or writing about one of their latest adventures, it's always going to...

Most of the time when we see a new wedding up on Justin & Mary's site, we want it! That's mostly because their ability to tell the story of the day through their images is so incredible ... but also because their weddings are just so SMP-style weddings. Pretty much 100% of the time! Take, for example, today's wedding ... how much better than this does it get? Just in case you... [MORE]
As you are well aware, we rave about all of our Little Black Book members ... but Justin & Mary ... well, we usually shout from the rooftops how much we LOVE their work! Their newest feature on Style Me Pretty is no exception to the high quality of all their wedding imagery. The beautiful bride, Jenna is captured throughout the day with her gorgeous smile and that glow that you read about in romance novels! These shots with Jenna and her Dad are priceless![MORE]
One of the things that immediately caught my eye about today's Connecticut wedding ~ from the fantastic Justin & Mary Marantz, was the fact that the reception took place at The Carousel At Lighthouse Point. How fun ... how utterly... [MORE]
We started off this morning talking about the details. Always the details. Julia & Mike's New England wedding from this past year is a perfect example of how to infuse a sense of playfulness into one of the most intense days of your lives! From polka dots and drumsticks to pick-up trucks, sassy yellow shoes and sneakers ... Gotta' love the Chevy! ... [MORE]
Abby is traveling home from Brad & Laura's wedding today and has left the SMP and the LBB blogs in my capable hands (yikes)! No pressure... And so, since I tend to rely heavily upon our Little Black Book members for inspiration, I turned to Justin & Mary Marantz for a New... [MORE]
Detail obsession ... that's us. And today, we're full of it ... fresh, fun and fetching!
Being detail-oriented is what life ... and love is all about!
Just a bit about "details" from Mary Marantz ...
It's what makes it unique. Makes it different. Makes it them. It's the thoughtful cards for no apparent reason, the time...

Happy, Happy Valentine's Day! What better way to start out the day than with a photo of a beautiful red rose bouquet! We have so much more of this wedding from Justin and Mary Marantz coming up a little later today. In the meantime, if one of your "searches" is for drop-dead gorgeous wedding dresses ... head over to Justin & Mary's blog to get a... [MORE]
Everyone likes great wedding shoe-shots ... right? Well, I feel that way about Wedding RING-SHOTS. Maybe it's because I love gorgeous rings ... or maybe it's because of the unbelievable creativity of wedding photographers. I just think ring-shots are so artistic. So ... when we posted yesterday's LBB Blog with the cute-cute little man... [MORE]
Have you ever seen anything cuter than a serious little ring bearer walking down the aisle? Or a little guy who, you're sure had a perfect tux to begin with, but now has a crooked bow tie and un-tucked shirt? Neither have we! Row 1: Left: Justin Marantz Photography, Right: Submitted by First Class Weddings Row 2: Justin Marantz of... [MORE]
Not only was Katie and Colin's wedding one of the most elegant we've seen, it also had a sensational bridal party! The maids wore Amsale. The little man and maids were in Annie Girl from The White Dress by the shore. [MORE]
If you haven't been religiously checking the Little Black Book Blog, today is a great day to start. We are featuring one of the loveliest weddings that I have ever seen...filled with amazing flowers (and amazing hardly does them justice), absolutely beautiful photography and sweet, little details that anyone can incorporate into their own wedding. Here is a sneak peak! The photography... [MORE]
This is a tough one ... Justin and Mary Marantz sent us some extraordinarily beautiful wedding photos a while back and we loved them so much, we just had to ask them to send us more. Now, we have them and it's soooo hard not to show them all! Katie and Colin were married in September at Stonington, Connecticut. At this point in the story, we would usually quote from the bride.

It’s no secret that brides obsess about their wedding shoes. This simple fact is splashed across all the blogs. So what more can we say? Row One: Orchard Cove Photography; Row Two: Photography by Walters and Walters Row Three: Michele DeVries (left), ... [MORE]
So, today we leave you with a few more images of real brides who found THAT ONE real dress at The White Dress By The Shore. And ... they felt better than they had ever felt before! photography by Mary Marantz.[MORE]
