Before we dive into today's photography features we wanted to share this little clip that Weddings on Film sent us from yesterday's Carmel Valley Wedding. It is so gorgeous, we simply couldn't pass it up. And since we kind of fell in love with the couple and the story behind their day, we thought it was the perfect way to...

The Smog Shoppe in Los Angeles is one of my all time favorite venues. It's the perfect combination of elegance, style and total approachability and to be honest, some of the best weddings we've seen on SMP have come straight out of this fabulous venue. And this next one, photographed by Love Ala Photography, is at the top of our list. Not only is it completely...
If you are the kind of SMP reader that devours the photographs but sometimes skips the text...this is the day to break that habit. Of course, the images that Tanja Lippert snapped of this lovely, lovely wedding are beyond (as they generally are when it comes to Tanja), but really it's the story that keeps bringing tears to my eyes. And the thoughtful, hands-on, completely personal approach that this couple took to planning...
I think the Parker Hotel in Palm Springs just might be one of my favorite venues. It is so cheeky and fun with just the right amount of holy gorgeous design. And paired with the stylings of Megan Fickling of La Partie Events? Let's just say this soiree had me at Hello. The pretty feminine florals mixed with the mid-century modern design is a fantastic fusion. A total...
Before we delve into our next gorgeous piece of wedding wonderment, we wanted to take a little break and fill you in on a FABULOUS new party that Crate & Barrel is throwing just for you and your fiance. That's right. Crate & Barrel is launching a series of Wedding Parties and you, my dears, are invited. They are putting the FUN back into...
As we get those first few days of fall under our belts it's nice to have something pretty to help make the transition into a new season a little bit easier. That's exactly what I'm loving about this inspiration session from the talented sisters of A Garden Party. This super chic shoot is the perfect palette to get us settled into September (so what if it takes until the 23rd for us to get comfy?) We're completely loving the...
They say that rain on your wedding day is good luck but for this couple, it also created a totally cozy, romantic day. Just as they began their vows, the skies opened up and it made for maybe the best wedding kiss EVER which was caught to absolute perfection by Erin Hearts Court. The whole wedding is completely adorable from the pine cone adorned cake to the pashmina wrapped bridesmaids. This is what we call Colorado chic...
To wrap up today's pretty Santa Ynez affair is a perfect, perfect film of the festivities from Lola Video who always manages to capture the sweetest moments and really gets to the essence of the day. This is some serious heart-melting eye candy and the pretty bow on top of a day of total gorgeous. So grab a comfy seat because you absolutely do not want to go another second without seeing this gem. And if you missed out on the fabulous...
We are back with another dose of genius from Jose Villa and with Fall at our doorsteps, this just might be the perfect inspiration for all of you Fall brides. Hearty autumnal colors, cozy rustic details, and the loveliest apple place cards. Not to mention a dapper little ring bearer that is beyond precious. All in all, this a job magnificently done by a team of rockstar vendors as well as a really talented bride who designed all of the...
Any day that involves a gorgeous wedding by Jose Villa is a great day in our book so it looks like one of those really, really great days is in the forecast for Style Me Pretty. Go ahead, we'll give you a moment to dance a little jig. This Santa Ynez wedding is definitely worth a little dancing, a little quickening of the heartbeat and yes, even a few squeals. We have a whopping three parter coming your way and each part is even more...
There is something so utterly romantic about this next featured affair. Photographed by the talented team at m three studio, it's elegant and timeless and when you read the details that went into the day, you see that it's also a perfect representation of the gorgeous couple. But what I love the most about this pretty, pretty wedding is that the style is such a mish-mash of all of the little things I love...an elegant backdrop and an...
Planning your destination wedding is stressful, to say the least! You are beholden to trust the recommendations and referrals of others and hold endless long-distance meetings with your vendors. The stylists at Smart & Chic Bride have done everything humanly possible to assure you that hair and make-up are totally stress-free and the two things you can check off that list! And to show you just how beautiful the result can be...
Most of you girls (and boys) know Jackie Wonders because of the awesome DIY projects that she's helped craft for SMP. You know, those fabulous fabric yo-yo's and the super cool book table numbers (that you can see if you sign up for our newsletter, hint hint). But Jackie also happens to be the photographer...
Before we call it quits on this lovely, lovely day...we HAD to share the film that Curtis Heyne of Living Cinema sent us from today's featured wedding at the Biltmore. There is one caveat though. You HAVE to grab a tissue or two because this gorgeous interpretation of the day is so beautiful, the...
We have another positively delightful wedding from our dear friend Aaron Delesie to share and this one is honest-to-goodness magic. Not that we expected any less from a vendor list that reads like a who's who among fabulous wedding warriors. Beth Helmstetter lent her keen eye for design to create a day that is movie star glamorous and paired ever so nicely with floral art from...
Aaron Delesie and I go way back. He was one of the very first vendors to put faith in SMP and become one of our beloved Little Black Book members and he has always been one of my favorite SMP contributors. The weddings that he sends our way are soft and romantic, ethereal and completely timeless and yet the photographs are always infused with that Aaron Delesie style that I love so very much. And lucky for us, we have TWO Delesie...
Sometimes we come across a wedding that looks so effortless, so elegantly laid-back and carefree like this one. This perfect slice of wedding goodness photographed by the lovely Patricia Kantzos who captured every pretty parasol, every last gorgeous bundle of wildflowers and one very adorable pair of red shoes. Not to mention all of the scrumptious bright colors woven into each and every detail. Let's just say we kind of love it. No, scratch...
Like any stylista who's on top of her game...our newsletter is arriving fashionably late. We've postponed our launch until tomorrow, so we wanted to take a moment to remind all of you SMP junkies out there to come join us in the fun! To sign up, use the lovely little box in the right sidebar and prepare yourself for the prettiest of pretty inspirations a bride (or groom) could ever want.
Elizabeth Messina is the voice behind some of the most beautiful photographs a girl has ever seen. She has this incredibly romantic approach to photography...a perspective that not only makes you want to grab your hubby and plant a big one on him, but one that inspires you to seek out the joy in all of those little things that make life lovely. A photography perspective that simply can't be replicated no matter how talented the lens...
I know, upon first glance, I'd assume this was a photo shoot too. You know...picture perfect details, a bride and a groom that is shockingly gorgeous, a style that is both swoon worthy and surprisingly whimsical. But nope, this is not a photoshoot. I repeat, this is NOT a photoshoot. It's an honest to goodness, real life wedding with a couple that is madly in love and a wedding that was built especially for them. And I'm pretty sure that it's the most gorgeous wedding I've ever seen...with a...
