At face value, this wedding is wildly gorgeous. Bright colors and detailed traditions are literally dancing across the images by Lacie Hansen. But once you dig a little deeper into this blend of cultures, it holds even more beauty. Beauty that is laced throughout the groom's poetic description of a chance meeting that resulted in the ultimate happy day and in the true emotion behind all those pretty details crafted by ...
I think of all the excuses to get dressed to the nines, having Lacie Hansen capture your engagement session on the dreamy beaches of Southern California might be the best excuse of all. This shoot is all about the beauty of glamour in the most unexpected of spots; barefoot on the beach. And the images photographed by Lacie are as romantic and gorgeous as they get. Have a look...
Mint Photography called this wedding "a photographer's dream" and I'm going to have to agree and call it a blogger's dream. With Vintage&Lace behind the floral & design, and a bride with such a fabulous vision for the day, how could it not be? The chic soiree put a big, goofy grin on my face, and thanks to the...
It happens like clockwork. Early April and I'm suddenly hit with that undeniable urge to clean-all-of-the-things. My windows beg to be flung open, my kitchen scrubbed down, my linen closet pulled apart (just to be put back in a neat and orderly fashion)... I don't think I'm alone here which is why I'm particularly excited about this fabulous DIY. Homemade linen spray is actually ridiculously easy to make yourself, and will instantly add a heavenly scent of your choosing to any spring cleaning...
Call me a major wedding nerd, but just as soon as I saw this Santa Barbara beauty, I knew today was going to be a good day. Not just because of the hot pink palette, the Kate Spade glitter pumps, or even the ombre petals trailing down the aisle, but because Joy de Vivre made sure the entire day was rustic glam done so, so right. ...
This is the kind of wedding that just radiates love. Like an all-encompassing, happiness-filled love that grabs at each and every one of your heart strings. And since we kind of enjoy basking in l.o.v.e. here at SMP, spending our day soaking it all in was an absolute given. Especially since the wonderful Andrea Sproxton happened to be on hand to snap up every moment, including the picturesque ceremony at Point Cartwright...
This couple is so wise. Not only did they pick each other (which after one look at the images from Mary Costa Photography, and you just know that was a good idea), but they also decided to snap up some pictures in the gorgeous California sunshine before heading back to the east coast for the next chapter in their life. Which is simply genius. One peek at the pictures they get to take along with them, and you will surely agree.
All of you lovely brides out there just dying to wear your wedding dress again, take note. Because you can definitely learn a thing or two from this gorgeous Winnipeg sweetie, who joined forces with a dream team of Canadian vendors to create a seriously stunning inspiration shoot as a tribute to her Scottish roots. I know, I know. She's awesome. And the resulting "Cherish Your Dress" session? A downright amazing day filled with the fab stylings of...
I couldn't be more thrilled that my job is to share the love with all of you. Seriously. Each and every morning I wake up, pour myself a heaping cup of coffee (or three) with excitement as I get ready to devour the surprises my inbox has in store for me each day. Today's inbox surprise that needs to be shared comes via the talented lens of Dabble Me This, who just happened to capture two of the most adorable lovebirds I ever did see. And...
You may or may not have heard, but I'm from Montana. Yeah, I know. I am borderline crazy for my home state. But, growing up just a 30-minute drive from Glacier National Park does that to a person. And in my humble opinion, there's just no place in the world that beats the majestic mountains, crystal clear lakes and breathtaking views. Need proof? Take a look at this stunning shoot from the uber-talented...
If there is anyone that can make planning a destination wedding look like a breeze, it would be this beauty of a Bride. Her wedding at the stunning Vista West Ranch was planned from behind her computer screen in New York City, which basically seems impossible when you see how gorgeous the day unfolded via the lens of Kristi Wright. Oh but it was possible, and with the...
As Spring starts to show its pretty face, my mind is in a constant la la land dreaming of warm days that seem to last forever in places where the salt air is just the norm. So when this Nantucket beauty came across my desk, I was basically in heaven...and I set everything aside to allow myself to get lost in all the lovely worthy of any la la land. Planned to perfection by this beautiful Bride all the way from San Francisco with the help of the talents behind ...
You learn so much about couples from their e-sessions and weddings. Mainly, that every single duo we feature here on SMP is head-over-heels, but also that they have the sweetest love stories you'll ever get the chance to hear. Case in point? These adorable Atlanta sweeties, who met in high school, dated for ten years and tied their love of antiquing and vintage cars into their engagement session captured by Michelle Landreau. Get to know...
As a girl who got married in a barn almost four years ago, weddings like this are the ones that I hold closest to my heart. A hot summer day, a sweet color palette, flowers that look like they were picked 10 minutes before the ceremony, and a party in the stables. In my humble opinion, there is nothing better. Hudson River Photographer captured this stunning soiree and filled...
It probably comes as no surprise that I'm about as girly as they come. So when this photo shoot first popped across my screen, I couldn't help but wish I could live inside it and never leave. I'm talking the fluffiest of florals, the dreamiest of dress, and a glass conservatory setting that puts a new spin on Parisian-inspired pretty. Social Graces Events infused the shoot with a subtle touch of Southern flair, and...
There is DIY, and there is DIY from this Bride, who happens to take do-it-yourselfing to a new sparkly level. It's almost as if she waved a magic, talented wand over her beautiful Delray Beach day, and then wallah, crafty perfection. But anyone who's planned a wedding knows better - and one peek at the pretty captured by 13:13 Photography in the...
Let me set the stage for you. Two (gorgeous) East Coasters, two separate trips across the country, one fate-filled meeting in San Francisco and an amazing first date back in NYC. If that isn't the beginning of one seriously incredible romance, then I don't know what is. And to top it all off, these two sweeties chose CLY Creation to capture all of their pre-marital bliss in one uber-stunning image after another in the streets of Soho.
