Valentine's Day is just a week away and with it brings the anniversary of this couple's first day - which happened more than a decade ago. Based on the images of their stunning fall wedding from MK Photography, their love is like a really, really good wine... just getting better with age. So grab a glass (it's five o'clock somewhere...) and sink into the gallery.

Mint and peach just might be my new favorite color combo. It's fresh and fun, light and airy and so, so, soooo pretty.

Because this wedding captured by Lovisa Photo is the epitome of lovely...

Fall weddings drenched in candlelight are my favorite. They're comfy and cozy, seriously romantic and, in my humble opinion, the perfect way to say "I do." Case in point?
