For those of you that are new to SMP, Engage is a biannual wedding conference that gathers the best in the industry to swap war stories, knowledge, insight and excitement with fellow big hitters and up-n-comers alike.

Another week of wedding goodness has come and gone. It really blows my mind how quickly time flies when you're enjoying great weddings. Luckily, we have plenty more where that came from. A special treat tomorrow - a gorgeous display of wedding cinematography - and then we'll be back to business as usual Monday morning. You saw oodles of romantic, fun, unique, and beautiful weddings this week, but we've got an awesome engagement shoot to send you off into your weekend. It's fun, it's festive...
Phew! Another week at the California Weddings blog has flown by! We sure have run the gamut of gorgeous over here from classic vineyard to modern rock n' roll. We'll wrap up all the pretty with this adorable event put together by the ladies at The Collection Event Studo in Sonoma. The Collection is a genius, creative meeting and design studio that showcases a...

How in the pretty, pretty world is it Friday already? No complaints here of course, other than that means this week's destination weddings have come to an end. Seriously, how fabulous is SMP Destination Weddings? I literally could just sit and stare all day long at all the pretty that feels this little local blog. Just to keep this pretty parade going for a bit longer, I thought I would share this serisouly goregous engagement shoot ...
Florida sure knows how to bring on the fun and we have had a blast this past week! Let's wrap it all up with the sweetest Cedar Key engagement session by one of my favorite photographers Laura Leslie Photography. She always makes the sandy seashore look like a dream and this tropical lovefest is no exception. I love the coconut motif and the adorable little mason jar drinks with pink straws! ...
Y'all, we did it again. Another week jam-packed with prettiness! And although you'll have two whole days without any SMP Texas Weddings gracing your computer screen, we'll be back and beautiful on Monday have no fear. In the meantime, here is an a-dor-a-ble day after shoot from K & S Photography that is not only fabulous, but it also has me craving a good burger and fries in the worst possible way! Please tell me I am not the only...
I could spend all day soaking up the loveliness of this Florida affair by Bee Photographie, and I may or may not have spent all morning doing just that. There is just soo much pretty in one post! From the sweetie pie bride (she is one of those people that just looks nice, know what I mean?) to her handsome Australian groom, this wedding is worthy of a few moments, minutes or even hours of your afternoon, trust me.
The cure for anything is saltwater--sweat, tears, or the sea. - Isak Denisen. This short declaration is all I could think of when I poured over this wedding, and then again when I read the story. This sweet Massachusetts couple, with help from Blissful Beginnings Wedding & Event Design, planned their perfect seaside affair to incorporate not just their friends and family, but another very important aspect of their lives -...
I have been searching and searching for just the right way to describe this next wedding and I am a little bit at a loss for words. I mean, how do you describe a wedding as insanely gorgeous as this one? I could say that the images captured by the uber-talented Vanessa Preziose of Apertura are stunning, but they are really beyond stunning. And I could mention that the floral design by...
When you think of a destination wedding, what comes to mind? Hawaii? Maybe Mexico? Perhaps Bali? How about Arkansas? That's exactly what it meant to this New York City couple . They decided to bring all of their friends and family from the east coast to enjoy a good ol' southern barbeque at the Pratt Place Inn and Barn in the Natural State, the bride's old home sweet home. It just goes to show, destination can mean just...
I have a serious love affair with San Francisco's City Hall. It is such a phenomenal venue and perfect for any type of vow-exchange. This black and white affair looks quite at home under the lens of the extraordinary Delbarr Moradi and just screams sophisticated romance. The two-day celebration included post-ceremony bowling (awesome!) and an elegant night out at Baker & Banker that continued the no-fuss, all-romance...
What do you get when Scotland meets Texas? Well according to this wedding at the Hoffman Haus, you get a downright fabulous combination! Not only is this pretty as can be Texas bride and her handsome Scottish hubby super adorable, but the combo of cultures also makes for a darling wedding as well! Crystal Littrell Photography was there to capture all the little details for...
This New Orleans Plantation wedding? Hello GORGEOUS. From the light streaming through the Spanish Moss to the tickled pink and purple details to the sweet bride and groom, this fête is dripping in glamour. And it's a homegrown, Southern style glamour at that. The cake and desserts? Made with love by the couple's mothers. The flowers? Arranged by the bride's talented father. The decor? Bridesmaids. All captured by the oh-so-talented...
Wipe those sleepies out of your eyes my friends and get ready to enter the awe inspiring and surreal world of Salvador Dali with our newest Inspiration to Reality. This out-of-this-world-in-a-good-way board was created by none other than ...
Holy adorable Coney Island engagement shoot by Patricia Kantzos Photography! And holy ridiculously good looking couple! Such lookers I tell you! I promise to stop using exclamation marks at some point of this post, but it's just so hard when everything is so freakin' cute! Not only are they pretty as can be, but Coney Island was their very first date - if it wasn't for that super sweet fact, I would be convinced they were models! There is...
Could we get any more luxe and glam than this St. Petersburg wedding? First of all, that dress just makes me reconsider every dress decision I'e ever made in my life and the flower arrangements and decor by Artisty Designs Group is just wow, wow, wow. I've been muttering that word over and over again as I drool over each and every dreamy image by...
Oh destination weddings, why do you tease us so? You combine two of our most favorite things - absolutely FAB weddings and exotic locales. A double whammy that leaves us in a wedding and vacation induced haze. Thank goodness we have our Destination Blog, filled to the brim with destination weddings just like this. The couple wed in sunny Key Largo, in an amazing, fresh, fun filled wedding weekend, planned and...
Step right up, step right up! We've got quite the spectacular wedding for you on this lovely Thursday afternoon. Sent into us my the obviously talented Elyse Hall, this whimsical, circus themed wedding is so well executed that you really feel like you could be at the circus, sans creepy carneys of course! I just love everything about this wedding from the bride's dress to the amazing display on the dessert table. I don't know about you, but...
We have a real treat for y'all this morning! I'm doing my own little happy dance over this dreamilicious vintage-inspired photo shoot directed by Aisle Candy and photographed by one of our absolute favorite photo-extraordinaires KT Merry. This is part ballerina, part fairy tale romance and all kinds of breathtaking. I don't think it could possibly get much better than inspiration...
