Amy Majors and Debra Ackmann were the photo geniuses behind our next wedding and to say that they captured some beautiful moments is an understatement. It is more like they knocked it out of the freaking park with each and every image. Can you tell that we mega-heart Amy Majors Photography? Well we also mega-heart this Minnesota flower farm wedding to pieces. It is perfectly shabby-chic, effortlessly adorable and the color...

Okay kids. New favorite wedding alert. BIG time. This drop dead gorgeous bride approached her day with SUCH charm, such sweet style and personality, you can't help but fall in love.

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. It's also a time to work out the kinks in front of the camera. Work through the shyness and awkwardness so that on your wedding day, it's just you and your lovey and the cameras don't even phase you!
Now, having said that ... this engagement shoot is...

It's kind of like a fairytale wedding taken up a notch, with CRAZY chic styling and a modern but timeless approach to design. A combination that just...
We don't feature a ton of e-sessions on SMP because we like to focus more on the details and the style of a real wedding...BUT, I couldn't resist sharing this one with you.

Images that you could easily hang on the walls of your home and without a doubt use as incredible inspiration for your own engagement portraits. To see even more...

They were engaged for a short six months and managed to pull off a fun-filled and charming wedding at the...
We have died and gone to dress heaven. We are long time fans of ruffle-tastic dresses, but this one seriously blows it out of the ballpark. The bride is rockin' it and we can't get enough. This amazingly glamorous wedding, shot by Jeff Tisman Photography, is full of sweet little details. We are loving the punches of green that are infused throughout the day...just gorgeous! Are you dying to see more of that...
One word. SO GLAMOROUS. Ok, that was two words but no matter how many words I use, there is no denying that this Philadelphia wedding is a study in elegance, glamour, sophistication...and the list goes on.
