Okay, so I have a little confession. We actually featured a little peek of this wedding that the fabulous Jose Villa sent our way… a year and a half ago. And for that feature, we included a great look for less. But, seeing that I am doing a photo shoot and blogging simultaneously (not an easy task), I thought you might give me a little leeway and let me post it again! It’s really great information and for any of you that...

As clean and tailored as the ceremony was, the reception was a bit more swank. It had that “we’re throwing a serious party” feel to it that just makes a girl really happy. Giddy even. And from what Jose told me, as he was lucky enough to shoot the entire evening, it was a pretty fabulous affair. If the cake is any indication of that…I am completely convinced.

Ummm. Yep. Layer, upon layer, upon layer of...

It’s been a while since we’ve featured one of Jose Villa’s little pieces of heaven. I covet every wedding he sends me, honestly never having turned one down. His photography is the epitome of gorgeous with a style that is as clean and simple as it is layered with emotion, elegance and depth. Lucky for us, Jose is sticking around for a while and is going to be sharing lots of his picture perfect weddings with us in the...

I hope everyone had a great weekend! We are actually jumping in the car in just a few minutes to head out to Connecticut where we are shooting the “From Inspiration to Reality Shoot” that we spilled the beans on last week. For those of you that missed out, you HAVE to check out the fun more...

This wedding is ALL about luxury. A crisp white color palette, a bride that is girly and gorgeous, an elegance that is hard to deny. It’s a fun change from the more rustic affairs we often feature and it just goes to show, gorgeous weddings come in so many styles!

Tanja Lippert is the photographer behind some of my all time favorite weddings here on SMP…Amy and Aaron’s wedding just might be the greatest wedding in the world (see Amy and Aaron’s full gallery right here) and the photographs,...

I chose this wedding to feature for one, because of the blissfully gorgeous photographs that Tanja Lippert snapped. But also because I am kind of obsessed with the color palette. I la-la-love the sophisticated grays paired with the pops of green and healthy dose of whites. It’s clean, it’s elegant, it’s modern. LOVE.

It’s it beautiful! The wedding was held in Calistoga where basically...

Today, we are featuring one of those weddings that everyone can love. Although not all brides swoon at the site of a fabulous loft affair, as I do, I think that it’s fair to say that all brides swoon at the site of gorgeousness…in every shape and size!

We are all about elegant affairs today on SMP. Classic, traditional styles with a whisper of chic sophistication. The kind of wedding where guests fall in love all over again, where brides look perfect in their white dresses, where flowers are lush and gorgeous and the whole day just seems to sparkle.

This wedding, shot by the wonderfully talented Jenny Smith of Alders Photography, took place this past May at the more...

It just occurred to me that we have been doing real weddings pretty much every day lately. And it’s been pretty great…so I figure, why change a good thing?

One of SMP’s very favorite photographers, Myrtle and Marjoram, sent us today’s featured wedding and based on some of the weddings they’ve sent us...
