Fall is hands-down my favorite season-the changing of the leaves, the brisk air and pumpkin-flavored goodies are just a few reasons I love it so! This autumn-inspired shoot from Simply Rose Photography highlights the beauty of fall with soft textures + rich colors, and the pinecone and antler props create a rustic vibe. I'm especially loving the twist on traditional with the dried wild grass bouquet from...
When we at SMP come across a wedding like this one, we just have to stop. Stop all of the business of our days and steal a minute to take it all in. To soak up all of the warmth and shine and glimmer and love that comes through our screens as we get lost in the gallery. And oh, that gallery. Every image from...
I so love that this bride was inspired by sunsets and planned her entire wedding around the vibrant colors of the almost-night sky. Not only is it super romantic and creative, it lends itself to one heck of a pretty day. And to complement all those pretty pinks, oranges and yellows she used mismatched vintage china, pretty mason jars wrapped in doillies, and gorgeous hand painted dinner menus. Each and every detail was crafted thoughtfully and we've got ...
I've fallen head over heels for a lot of gorgeous e-shoots in my day, but this breathtaking Oahu session just moved to the top of my favorites list in like 1.5 seconds flat. Because not only is it all kinds of crazy gorgeous (read: the most beautiful session you will ever lay your eyes upon), it's filled with sooo many stunning details crafted by the talented team of Ashley Goodwin, ...

You couldn't wipe the smile off my face if you tried. I mean, I can't get over it. Every image here is stunning and every detail is perfectly in tune with the one before it and it makes me giddy to look through this wedding from Alanna Scully Photography. There are all of these little stories and notes delightfully tucked away throughout the reception on playfully designed paper from...
If there is one thing every engaged couple should do, it's find a photographer who connects with you. Someone who is going to be able to capture the very essence of your day so you have the memories captured for years and years to come. These sweet lovebirds clicked with the uber-talented Jeffrey and Julia Woods and we're so lucky they did because that means we have...
Vermont and barn weddings are like a match made in wedding-loving heaven.They go together like peanut butter and jelly, or for you stylish SMPers - like glitter and gold. It's just understood when those two things join forces, beautiful things happen. Beautiful things like this wedding by Trenholm Photo. The only thing that might outshine that pretty combination is the new Mr. & Mrs. saying I do - but really, how could you beat a love...
Remember when you were in elementary school and if you said you loved something, you're friends would tease, then why don't you marry it? Well my friends, I just might have to marry this wedding! I'm that obsessed. And why wouldn't I be? From the adorable brides dress to the fabulous gold pumpkins, each and every detail is beyond beautiful. Lindsay Madden Photography snapped up all the goodies in such a fabulous way...
You know it's going to be a good day when a lovely wedding like this Gulf Coast soiree pops up on your computer screen. It's what I call an absolute guarantee. And when that lovely wedding happens to be a blue and white love-fest held at the Seaside Interfaith Chapel followed by an al fresco reception complete with lawn games (my fave), it's pretty much the best day of the week. ...
A roasted turkey is one of those tricky things. I wish I could stuff myself with it regularly, but always refrain from doing so as its occasional appearance tends to make it feel special. It's one of those traditional treats reserved for big family gatherings and fabulous holidays alike. And what better way to do so than with the simplest turkey recipe in all the land. Yep, we've got it right here, and it's really stinkin' good. *Adapted from:...
There's nothing that screams Turkey Day quite like a fresh baked stuffing. It's comfort and yumminess all rolled into one perfect dish. And this trusty recipe? Well, it's about as good as it gets. We've got the step-by-step to take the guesswork out of this Thanksgiving classic, and it's all waiting down below! *Adapted from: Food Network [dotted]...
I'm just going to come right out and say it...I'm not a huge fan of brussels sprouts. We've just never got along. That is, until, I came across this recipe of a balanced blend alongside prosciutto, balsamic and caramelized onions. And while sprouts might never be my favorite food EVER, you'd surely find me gobbling down my fair share of these bad boys Thanksgiving, or otherwise.

When it comes to Thanksgiving, people always talk about the turkey. The star of the show, if you will. But to me, it's really all about the sides. Recipes like this Roasted Sweet Potato Wedges that could give any main dish a little run for it's money. Grab the full recipe right down below!

Cranberry sauce. That yummy little recipe that basically needs to make an appearance on every table across the country. Because not only is it seriously delish (and one of my personal faves), it makes for one pretty pop of color on that always amazing list of Thanksgiving goodies. Believe you me. *Adapted from: Food Network [dotted]...
In my humble, humble opinion, no Thanksgiving dinner is complete without a big ol' helping of mashed potatoes. Classic, truly amazing mashed potatoes covered in oh-so-yummy gravy. And because I am now officially drooling (aren't you?), let's just skip the small talk and head straight to the recipe. It's sort of awesome. [dotted] Photography: White Loft Studio...
I'm not necessarily into picking favorites, but if I had to (had to) narrow down my list of cheese faves, parmesan would most definitely fall somewhere near the top of the list. Add in some arugula and some pretty, pretty place settings and, friends, this is what we call a Thanksgiving salad masterpiece. Yum. My. *Adapted from: Huffington Post [dotted]...
Squash is one of those side dishes that I never paid much attention to as a little girl. I was mashed potatoes all the way. Fast forward to today? Let's just say I was missing out all those years and I'm making up for it now. This baked version has become my go-to. It's packed with a whole lotta flavor and will no doubt be very good competition. Watch out mashed potatoes! *Adapted from:...
Try, just try, to not smile from ear to ear when you scroll through this wedding by Aurelia D’Amore Photography. I am going to go as far as to say it's basically impossible. Because this couple has personality out the wazoo, and their wedding is the perfect reflection of that. From the heartfelt details (pun intended) to their quirky ring "bear" - words simply won't do this wedding justice, but thankfully the...
