I can't say enough amazing things about Leila Brewster (she just so happened to capture my big day three long years ago), but one of the absolute best things about Leila? Is that I could say about a million and one amazing things about her fabulous ways, but I would never be able to do...
We love beautiful photography here at SMP. That's a given. But when we get a first-hand peek inside a wedding day through film, that just makes us all the more giddy. So kick back and get cozy my dears, but today we're swooning this Charlottesville affair through the stunning footage of Caravan Cinema Co. It's a day handcrafted with love, and we've even got a...
So. Sometimes things don't always work out as you planned. Especially for this girl. Who happens to be terrible at reading directions. And has this annoying tendency to add a splash of this and a splash of that to whatever she is making when in baking, you know that is cardinal sin #1. And thus the fate of my latest creation. A perfect chocolate cake gone totally, completely, epic-ly wrong. But not to fret dear smp-ers. There is, indeed, one thing that I'm good at. In fact, I'm awesome at it.
This couple is probably the most popular twosome in all of Minnesota; opting to invite their guests for a sun-filled wedding weekend in Arizona. This is a desert destination dream captured by Karie Denny that is boasting one of the most romantic color palettes and lots and lots of good wedding fashion too. See all that goodness and so much more right here....
I'm a sucker for heirloom jewelry. There is something so romantic about a timeless piece being passed down from one generation to another, gracing each bride's beauty. So, when Jo Barnes recently sent over her charming new Chandelier collection, I instantly envisioned these pretties atop the tresses of many-a-bride for years to come. They're just that stunning. There's a...
There's next to nothing I love more than a perfect all-white wedding. It's the ultimate in romance and gets me weak at the knees faster than you can say seaside chic. And with Stellar Events on board to design a day that's clean, calm, but above all, beautiful, you know the full gallery will be inspiration to the max. See each and every one of Kellie Kano's captures...
Wednesdays have quickly become my favourite day of the week around here. They mean that we get the chance to showcase some of our very favourite recipes. The tried and true babies that are just too good to keep to ourselves. Recipes like this roasted tomato soup, which is so simple and delicious that it really need not any additional flourishment, adornment or anything of the sort. It simply tastes like...
I think it's crazy amazing when two people say "I do" in the exact same place they first said "I love you." Movie amazing, really. And when it's two cuties as adorable as this sweet duo? Well, I love it even more. Because theirs is a wedding that is chock-full of fabulous details, from the beautiful Ramekins Sonoma location to that stunning Pronovias gown to one breathtaking image...
Okay, so I think I need to move to Australia. Or get married in Australia. Or visit Australia. One of those three. Because this sweet day captured brilliantly by Kate Robinson Photography? It's mesmerizing. And if these beautiful images don't make you want to pack up your bags and catch the first flight to the Land Down Under (and the breathtaking...
Perfection. I think that sums up this backyard beauty to a tee. Nestled in the acres of the Bride's childhood home, this farm fête was DIY down to the very last detail, yet looks anything but. It's full of a stunning, understated style that will make it stand the test of time, and it's a style that ultimately makes me fall in love with every picture perfect image from When He Found Her. It's image after image of pure pretty, and you...
South Carolina Brides have that extra special sauce. It's a mix of classic tradition and good old Southern sass. And when it is translated into a wedding day with the help of Spencer Special Events + Fresh Cuts, it makes for an affair infused with that same special sauce. a.k.a wedding magic as seen through the lens of ...
I've been spending a lot of time lately completely at a loss for words. I know, I know... my job is to talk all things pretty, but when something as gorgeous as this Austin engagement shoot comes my way, I really, really can't help it. Maybe it's because two people THIS stunning (they sooo are) and THIS in love tend to make me lose the ability to speak. And when you throw in an entire gallery of breathtaking images captured by ...
Today, I would like to crawl through this screen and live in this gorgeous Maui shoot from Anna Kim Photography. And while I am living in this stylish shoot, I would love for Jessica Waite Makeup Artistry to make me over to look this fabulous too. Because all of it combined with the pretty props from...
I sat with this wedding for quite some time. Soaking up the sweetness surrounding the couple and their stunning style. And getting to do so through the picture perfect images from Godwink Art Photography? Well that was such a treat. Because they laid out this lovely love story in such a fashion that will make even the non-wedding lovers out there get a little giddy, so trust me when I say sitting with this one for a while is time well...
Fall is my absolute favorite season... and for a lot of reasons. The beautiful colors, the crisp, clean air, the falling leaves. But ranking high atop that list? Fall weddings. Because in my humble opinion, it just doesn't get any better than a cozy meets romantic day set against a gorgeous Autumn backdrop. Need proof? Lay your eyes on this stunner from the always-amazing Olivia Leigh Photographie, which is like a literal...
True story: I am obsessed with libraries. I love the smell, the feel, the coziness... it's a wonderland of amazing, if you ask me. So, when I read that this darling duo spent their first date snuggling up in the warmth of the Boston Public Library, I knew I was about to fall head over heels for their undeniable cuteness and their gorgeous e-session captured by Deborah Zoe Photography. And guess what? I was right. See...
When you have my job, you just have to deal with the fact that night in and night out, you are going to be dreaming of gorgeous weddings (not that it's a bad thing). The moment I laid eyes on the first image of this soiree from Heather Saunders Photography, I was smitten, and knew I was in for a night or two of dreaming. But then I realized Parsonage Events was...
Here at SMP, Wednesday is the new Friday. Why? Because Wednesday means it's time to kick up our heels and celebrate with a parade of real weddings all day long. And thanks to Kristin Moore Photo, you don't have to wait another second for the pretty to start. She captured this intimate outdoor wedding done so, so right. Refill that cup of coffee and ...
Did you know that you could make ranch dressing from scratch? Because I certainly did not. I mean, not until recently that is. And I kind of feel as if I've been missing out on something glorious! This recipe, slightly fancified with the addition of buttermilk (because that's just how we roll around here), is all sorts of tasty. And upon this discovery, with you as my witness, never again will the store...
I had every intention to be productive today. Up early, coffee brewing - but the images sitting pretty in this gorgeous gallery captured by Vitalic Photo have a different plan for me this morning. Oh yes, their plan is pull at my heart strings until I just can't look away, ultimately spending hours with them swooning over their gorgeousness. But that's productive too, right? I think so.
