Salt Lake City Mariachis From Kate Benson Photography

Eddye — Fri, 13 Mar 2009 22:20:00 +0000

We asked Kate Benson, a sensational Little Black Book photographer based in Utah if we could feature Britney and Michael’s wedding way back when we did a feature on wedding gowns. We noticed that many of her wedding photos were with Mormon couples {the Salt Lake City Temple in the background} and that the brides had gorgeous gowns with sleeves. We even got a few comments on how refreshing it was to see this ‘trend’. Seems to be that it’s not so much a trend, as probably, a temple requirement. (We’d be happy to know more from any of our readers!) Take a look back {here} if you missed that feature.

Now, a bit from Kate … “Mike and Britney were so lovely on their wedding day despite having their hands nearly freeze off in the wind, rain and snow. You could never tell from these pics how cold it actually was… such troopers. Thanks guys, for doing that “just one more” thing every time I asked!”

Britney & Mike’s wedding was March 15, 2008 at the Salt Lake City Temple with the reception following at the Wells Fargo Building.

More from Kate … “Wow what a wedding! I love, love, love seeing how creative brides can get in picking out all their wedding goodies. Britney was brilliant in her choosings, right down to the food that was catered. Her wedding was bright, colorful, and festive… just what is needed in the muddiness of March. My FAVORITE thing she chose was a Mariachi band. Seriously? I loved these guys! They were AMAZING and sooooo incredibly professional (smiles on their faces the whole time!).”

Aren’t the ribbons just great! Very simple touches can do so much to coordinate the whole affair!

Britney’s beautiful gown was made by Penny from Penelope’s in Salt Lake City [801-582-5010].

A huge thanks to Kate Benson Photography for sharing Britney & Mikes great wedding with us! For more of her fantastic work, be sure and check out her blog.

A Look Back At Wedding Dresses From 2008 To Fuel The Fire!

Eddye — Mon, 12 Jan 2009 18:20:28 +0000

Well ~~~ how many of you just got engaged? And who’s scouring the web and wedding magazines for your perfect wedding dress?

Seems like today might be a good day for us to post some lovely real brides and their lovely real wedding gowns!

To fuel the fire within … from Style Me Pretty’s Little Black Book members’ features (past, present and future) ~

photography by meghan sepe (row one) and allyson magda (row two)

photography by james christianson (row one), holland photo arts (row two/left and row three), sedona bride (row two/right)

Many of you soon-to-be-brides have an idea of what you don’t want, but honestly, until you get out there and start trying on a variety of styles, don’t etch it in stone. Try one or two gowns that you think you won’t like … just because … who know, you might be pleasantly surprised.

More photos from our Little Black Book photographers from this past year …

So that was the good news. Here’s the bad news …

We’re not quite sure of the designers on all of the gowns … if you’d like more info, let us know and we’ll try to find out for you!

We’d also love to know … did you get engaged over the holidays? When ( and where?) is your wedding going to be???
