It's no secret that we love wine. It's the perfect compliment to any meal, the perfect relaxer at the end of the day, and apparently, the perfect inspiration for a wedding. This Virginia couple worked hand in hand with My Simple Details to design their special day around something they both love - wine. The result was captured by Tara Welch Photography &... [MORE]
People often ask if I ever tire of looking at weddings all day. If I ever don't have something to say about a particular wedding. And the answer is absolutely not. Not only to I absolutely love every emotion, detail, and kiss that a wedding entails, but I get to have a backstage pass into the most special day in a couple's life. I get to see the excitement on each and every brides face. I get to see the emotion of the guests, the parents, the bridal party, the couple. I get to see special... [MORE]

Just over two years ago, I was married to my love in a barn. It was the happiest day of my life. Needless to say, when I get to spend all morning, afternoon, or week with a beautiful batch of farm nuptials, I start out the day a little sentimental. This was exactly the case when I opened up this California wedding Jake Odening captured and sent our way. I was enamored by the beautiful bride, the apparent style in not just the girls... [MORE]
Who would have thought a fantastic RED barn, bright turquoise dresses, sunflowers, peacock feathers, and chalkboards could all fit inside one super chic, fabulously designed wedding? I had my doubts, until I first laid eyes on this Connecticut wedding. I was sold from the first shot from Scobey Photography. It's rustic chic-ness at it's best. It's very best. It's like Rustic Chic put on his tuxedo and bow tie, combed his hair, and... [MORE]
I have a colossal crush on these Catskills nuptials by the fabulous Ulysses Photography, so prepare yourselves for some serious gushing. For starters, I seriously adore a rainy day wedding. There's nothing quite like a little drizzle and some overcast skies to kick up the romance quotient by a thousand. Add to that the charming sunflower centerpieces and beautiful bouquets by... [MORE]
Is it just me or do you want to steal every single charming detail of this Highlands rehearsal dinner for your very own? Not just me? Good. Because I do believe it doesn't get any sweeter than a fishing-themed rehearsal dinner (the bride's favorite hobby), complete with gorgeous sunflower centerpieces, a cute-as-can-be cake (a fish, of course) and "live bait" desserts (gummy worms included). All of that lovely AND stone place cards and I have a really big crush that won't be going... [MORE]

Spring is here, and that means summer is knock, knock, knocking on the door next. If there were a wedding that could completely embody a warm, sunny, summer day, this would be it. The yellow and red palette mixed with the big sunflowers and sweet little ring bearer and flower girl are just as wonderful as the warm sun on your face. Gertrude & Mabel Photography captured the light, the love, and the sweetness of this California... [MORE]

We LOVE it that we receive almost as many engagement shoots as we do weddings! We've said, forever and ever, that e*shoots are such a perfect time for you guys to get to know your photographer and for him/her to get to know you.

Now, having said that ... this engagement shoot is... [MORE]
