"Antiquaria"

For as beautiful as Napa Valley is on its own, this wedding from James Moes Photography blows that beauty right out of the water. Woven into the backdrop of The French Laundry, is a day awash in pure romance. From green and lavender blooms by Flowers by Ivy to chandeliers strung from the treetops, get all the gorgeous...

My maiden name happens to be Shaughnessy, which is just a wee bit Irish, so when St. Patrick's Day rolls around, I can't help but to break out the green (and maybe a jig or two). But what I really love, is St. Patrick's Day gone stylish. Where we can celebrate this beloved holiday with a side of sophistication. And we can do just that today thanks to this shoot from Lukas & Suzy VanDyke. It's guaranteed to make your eyes smile, Irish or...

I could put together an entire post gushing only about how spectacular this venue is... a beautiful race horse farm in rural Maryland with lush green pastures, picturesque views, and its own vineyard... I mean, wow. But you see, I would have barely scratched the surface of the story because this farm is home to this bride's childhood and her family's history (the little girl in me just melted). Brought to us by ...

I am giddy with wedding nerdiness to set this scene for you. Think two bookworms who fell in love while studying forestry, tying the knot surrounded by their favorite New England autumn leaves. Perfection, no? These botany buffs searched far and wide for rare florals of the season, and even named each table after the genuses of their favorite trees. And on top of that, Kate Preftakes Photography's use of light is nothing short of...

If you're like us, you've been looking forward to the holidays since last New Year's. There simply isn't another time of year that captures that same feeling of hope, camaraderie, and peace. I mean, when else do you get a chance to relive the glory years with your best friends from high school and have meaningful, philosophical discussions about life with your favorite aunt? As many of these happenings occur during holiday gatherings, it was the notion of nostalgia that initially shaped our...

This wedding was a beast to put together. Not for lack of detail or sentiment. In fact, it was the exact opposite. I found myself struggling between showcasing the many beautiful elements woven into the day or scrapping it all and going with the take-your-breath-away moments that Elisabeth Millay captured. So I settled for a bit of both. Wild, gorgeous florals by Saipua next to the...

yes, Yes, YES! And maybe one more Yiggity YES for good measure because this wedding is currently a crowd pleasing favorite at the SMP offices. From bold red lips to a bocce ball wielding reception, we have a free spirited Austin dazzler on our hands, as seen through the lens of The Nichols (one of our favorite lenses to peer through). Take a look for yourself with all the images in one gorgeous spot...

Once in a while we get some wedding inspiration that makes me want to get married all over again.  That was certainly the case when I saw this sweet and romantic spring photo shoot from The Nouveau Romantics and The Nichols.  It makes my bohemian heart want to sing out a little folk tune and be surrounded by poppies for the rest of my life.  Austin is quickly...
