As a self-proclaimed nerd, I get more than a little giddy over the library wedding and when it's done well it shoots to the top of my favorites list. With Ashley Garmon Photographers and Keely Thorne Events on the job, this wedding has done just that. It's library elegance if I've ever seen it!
Valentine's Day is just around the corner so I've gone ahead and put together my Valentine's Day wish list! I'll be passing this along to my husband, and maybe scooping up a thing to two for myself. I was also thinking it might be fun this year to get a little something for a couple of my closest girl pals, a sweet little something to show I love them too! I do love a good excuse to buy presents and eat chocolate! xx- Sarah...
Our love affair with renowned wedding photographer Jose Villa goes way back. Because aside from his incredible imagery, I really believe that our passion for all things Jose comes from his working alongside equally incredible teams - Joel Serrato for one. Kate of Flowerwild, who did the event design for this insanely beautiful...
There is nothing quite like an al fresco wedding at a vineyard. They are in a league of their own, and I haven't met one yet that I haven't loved. Oh to be able to rely on the predictably perfect West Coast weather. This particular wedding, though, is beyond words. The perfection that is ever-present, elevated by their love, and all captured by...
If the way to a man's heart is through his stomach, I'm pretty sure I'm going to have a line down the block after whipping up these beauties. My husband is going to have to fight 'em off with a stick. Okay, okay. Maybe not. But trust me when I tell you that you need to make these. Tonight. They are every ounce as good as they look! And they are the perfect late night Valentine's Day treat. Adapted from...
For two people who are so obviously soul mates (seriously - read their sweet story below), I can't think of a more fitting way to say "I do" than this stunning Rancho Bernardo Inn wedding. Because this is a wedding that mixes romance with breathtaking details at every turn, and happens to be the perfect way to celebrate "meant to be." See it all captured beautifully by...
When a couple is this adorable, you know you are in for a pretty amazing wedding. Why? Because adorable duos like this just have a way of throwing a pretty party. Parties that include gorgeous DIY details, vibrant pops of blue and pink and enough love-filled moments to fill an entire gallery with pure, unadulterated happy. See it all captured by Robyn Rachel Photography right...
Admittedly, my husband is probably the biggest craft beer nerd you'll ever meet. So a wedding held at Toronto's Steam Whistle Brewery - well, it'd be right up his alley. And with photos from Root Photography and a film by Bright Sky Wedding Designs, you can see every whimsy-filled moment from beginning to end.
Fact: engagement sessions are a total blast. Especially when that e-session happens to include a fab team of vendors making a whole lot of pretty happen. I'm talking beautiful blooms from Atelier Papaver, yummy treats from Dulche de Leche and even paper ice cream (thank you, Dominika Kubalová). It's a fun-filled...
Do you want to know the one and only downfall of my job? It's anniversary session envy. I mean, just look at how cute these two are? It makes me want to grab my hubby, call Rachel Havel and book a session ASAP. Because who wouldn't want images like these hanging on their walls? See even more here. From...
There's just something about an Autumn affair that just screams romance. A sort of cozy + comfortable vibe that reaches every inch of matrimony... and touches every second of pure pretty. Such is the case with this lovely day captured by Snapshots by Katie. It's a fall love fest at its very finest, right down to the orange and yellow tree-lined streets. See it all right here in the...
If I could, I would give Jennifer Blair the biggest of hugs for sending this beauty our way. Because it is, in a word, stunning. The images are perfection, the styling is perfection, the colors are perfection - basically everything in this gallery is, well, perfection. So trust me when I say you'll want to spend some serious time getting lost in all the lovely today she sent our way ...
If what they say about rain on your wedding day being lucky is just something to calm a nervous bride's nerves, what they really need to say is that it creates a warm, cozy, intimate atmosphere the way only Mother Nature can. Because that, my dears, I'm thoroughly convinced is absolutely true, as Brinton Studios has plainly proven with this rainy day soiree.
We tend to wait with bated breath for our next Jose Villa wedding. Because to see a wedding through the lens of Jose's camera is seeing the subtlety of true magic unfold. Soft, exquisitely captured moments that tell a love story with a sense of ease and grace that is almost tangible. So today we're diving all in, from the tips of our toes to the pitter patter of our hearts, to this stunning Jose Villa celebration. And if you can't wait...
We're always on the hunt for candy free Valentine's that our little ones can bring to school. Or that we can make for our friends and tuck into their mailboxes to find on a whim. First we shared the Magnet "Stuck on You" Valentines and now, we're talking puzzles. Little handmade pieces of Valentine's...
When I look back on my wedding day photos, the ear-to-ear grins on my and my husband's faces say it all. From the day of our engagement, I wanted to be sure my smile was as beautiful as any other accessory I wore! In the same boat? Look no further than NY Smile Specialists. Located in the heart of Manhattan, this celebrity dental practice is the home of nationally recognized dentist and Board-Certified Prosthodontist, Dr.
This is the sort of dreamy affair you can never, ever stop thinking about. The sort of drop-dead gorgeous wedding that has you pinning away for hours and saving one image after another in a folder you call "someday". It's exactly the kind of day that we adore here at SMP... seriously heartwarming, seriously breathtaking and seriously pretty. See it all captured by LiFe Photography in the...

This stunning soiree captured by Sages Comme des Images is just overflowing with so much pretty I can barely stand it, and you can get lost in every gorgeous moment right here. From the Bride...After our...
Garden weddings make me melt every time. There is just something so intimate, so lovely about saying I do amidst beautiful blooms. Well, the Franciscan Gardens set the most gorgeous of scenes for this garden gala, and with Desi Baytan and his talented eye on hand to capture every beautiful moment, it's safe to say this couple has a collection of images they will treasure...
Shea McGee's name seems to pop up in our offices at least once a week. Mainly because the spaces that she designs are truly lovely. But also because from the moment we spotted this nursery on Instagram...it was all over for us. We basically got on our hands and knees and begged Shea to sit down with us to and talk shop...
