This “vintage-inspired” Couture Dress session showcased some of the latest designer gowns in a contrasted natural environment. The glamour of high fashion designer gowns combined with an organic field-setting posed for an intimate take between high fashion and a rustic atmosphere. Accessories inspired from the 1930′s told a tale of the feminine and romantic time, kissed with warm sunlight. Brittany Sobering with Tickled Pink Brides, perfectly styled the natural setting with distressed Asian-inspired furniture, decorated with whimsical details, such as rustic bird cages and mirrors, to eclectic tea cups and delicate meringues. Makeup and hair were created by Simone Rosas with Makeover Station, along with styling from Solutions Bridal Designer House. Overall this modern and vintage inspired photo shoot was a glimpse into the beauty of organic simplicity.

We’ve been waiting for the perfect opportunity, and we think today’s the day. We’ll be posting Mario and Katie’s wedding on the Little Black Book Blog later this afternoon. Daria and Andy Bishop told us that Katie and Mario were a black & white photography couple only. We do agree that their wedding is particularly alluring in black and white …

This is a very, very magical wedding … take a look on The Little Black Book Blog for more photos from Daria Bishop Photographers…

Katie and Mario were married in October at the Lounsbury House in Ridgefield, Connecticut.

from Katie and Mario’s  wedding website …Ladies & Gentlemen, gals and lads, don your fancy garb and come witness Mario the Magician and his lovely assistant, Kathryn Elizabeth, as they perform their greatest feat yet!

What better inspiration for a fun and stylish wedding than magic!

Their wedding website is filled with LOTS of info on vintage clothing trends from different eras as well as a great list of all their wedding vendors.

Mario is a full-time magician and has published a book/kit, Magic Card Tricks, available from Barnes and Noble, but if you visit their website, you can get a signed copy! How cute are these guys!!

Many-many-many thanks to our great LBB friends, Daria and Andy Bishop for sending us Katie and Mario’s so-fun wedding! To see a slideshow of this great wedding, click here!
