You're pretty much guaranteed a take-your-breath-away wedding when it's held at Holman Ranch in Carmel Valley. Seen through the lens of Mirelle Carmichael Photography, this celebration is dripping in pretty purple petals (hello, alliteration!) and classically elegant touches. The sprigs of fresh rosemary at each place setting solidified my love for this soirée, and I know you'll also find your happy place in the...

As a self proclaimed book nerd and native Bostonian, I have to admit that I was super excited when I saw this adorable rainy day e-session by Sweet Monday Photography! These two architect love birds are getting married in Mexico later this year and I'm sure they'll have sunnier skies there. But we sort of like that it rained because the umbrellas add a fun pop of color! What do you think?
I don't believe this darling soiree captured by Kaitie Bryant Photography could get more charming if it tried. Actually, I know it couldn't. Of course it's pretty as can be with its library venue and pretty maids and sweet bouquets - but it's full of heart too. And that's what really gets me. Everyone chipped in to make sure it was the prettiest day possible for these two lovebirds, and I do believe they succeeded and then some.

Seasons of Life really created something spectacular for...
Mother nature can be a tricky and fickle girl. Just when you think you've thought of everything when planning your picture perfect wedding, she rolls in with rain, thunder and lightening, and more rain.

Instead, they rolled with the punches and with the help of their friends and family, re-created everything from scratch amidst the storm and ended up with their perfect wedding afterall.

From that swoon-worthy gown to the gorgeous florals by Shea Hopely Flowers to the breathtaking images captured...
