Last year, Robert Michael Films dreamt up a new approach to wedding films – a series of short stories that focuses on one moment or gives particular insight from a unique narrative or point of view. Called the “Vignette Series,” Robert knew this was an idea that he wanted to share with the world. With a heart for giving back, Robert decided to offer a free wedding film in this style for one deserving couple. The...
This dream of a fall wedding featured creative details with romantic blush and maroon hues.The custom tassel escort display brought ooh's and ahh's from everyone while the dazzling lights that lined the backdrop of the dance floor, invited them to party! Another fan-favorite of the day were the...
A coastal elopement has always kind of been my dream... you get to focus on all of your favorite wedding details (rather than worrying about guest favors and seating charts). Spending your wedding day with loved ones is so incredibly special, don't get me wrong—but there's something crazy romantic about vowing your forever love with no one else in sight (aside from your photographer!), don't you think? Especially when the views are as pretty as this. Whether you're going BIG or small, keeping...
As the mama of a one-year-old and hopes for another babe down the road, today's Things I Can't Live Without feature is right up my alley—and I'm sure many of you, too who are expecting, hope to be a mama someday, or are maybe thinking about #2 or 3! Baby gear is constantly evolving and changing, so when I heard we were hosting Nasiba Adilova, Co-founder of...
From Ana Lui... In January, I travelled from Ibiza to LA to visit my friend Diva Borrelli who happens to be the most talented makeup artist. Because it was my first time in California I had decided to reach out to Amorology, San Diego based wedding and event designers, whom I have been following online for quite a while. Heather, the founder of...
This is what summer weddings are all about my friends. Braids and beach waves, flowy Jenny Yoo bridesmaids, sunsets that warm the soul, al fresco dining... and smiles for days. Just for starters. Kari Rider Events crafted a day that suits these two to a T. I don't...
The inspiration for this styled shoot was all about vibrancy of color! So many times I find as a wedding planner that my brides love color in their day-to-day lives, yet are so leery about incorporating beautiful color into their wedding! I also come across many brides who love the idea of an outdoor, ranch-setting for their wedding, yet they want the formal elegance of a chic wedding. I blended these two ideas to create magic at the gorgeous venue of...
I have three little ones at home with me. And while the first two babies found their names before exiting the womb, it took me five full days to decide on my third's name. Which looking back, was so silly because she is such a little THEA, but giving a human being the name that they will be called for the rest of their life is sort of a big deal. If she had become Everly (the other name I loved), I can't say for sure that she would have grown into the little spitfire that she is today. Anyway, ...
Sylvie Gil's annual workshop is something dreams are made of. Set against the backdrop of the French countryside, Sylvie brings together the best in the wedding industry to build out a shoot meant to teach her students the nuances and art behind photographing a wedding. And this year, Sylvie &...
I have a 16-month-old toddler boy, and this first image below is actually a room in my home. I'm not sure how I pulled that off... fist pump! But I did and I still am. Truthfully, it doesn't always look like this, but with a serious determination to never sacrifice style for my kids (and a few tricks up my sleeve), a lived-in home that also translates to chic is totally possible. Today, I'm sharing a few of my own secrets with you! Make the Practicalities Pretty Inspired by Lori Paranjape...
From Bashful Captures... Monteverde at Oldstone is one of my favorite wedding venues because it's such a serene and beautiful location. When I first found out that I was going back there to shoot Victoria & Kyle's wedding, I was so excited and couldn't wait for the day to come! They both got ready at the venue and had their intimate...
I had the pleasure of meeting Greg Finck nearly four years ago and to this day, I can spot one of his weddings from a mile away. In a handful of words, his imagery is dreamy, thoughtful, soft and real—and today's wedding, planned by Lavender & Rose is every single one of those descriptives. It warms the soul and makes you want to bookmark each...
From the bride... I made it very clear before the wedding planning process even began that I would not DIY a on single thing. I am a minimalist, so I wanted the beauty of the venue to speak for itself and not clutter it. For me, the most memorable thing about the wedding were our vows. To hear my husband speak - so authentic, so vulnerable and beautiful, well... it just brought tears to my eyes! ~photography by...
After planning my own wedding a few years ago, I had a whole new appreciation for event planners. While some of you might still be in the "how hard can planning a wedding really be?" frame of mind, trust me on this one—it is HARD. Planners are freaking magicians, and they deserve a lot of love for it. That's what this lovely event, crafted by Adriana Marie Events, is all about—celebrating the genius wedding minds...
Nebraska is showing up STRONG today. Lindsay and Alex tied the knot in one of the prettiest celebrations we've seen in a long time - with an attention to detail like no other. From the gorgeous welcome box favors filled with local favorites to the time spent alone in the reception space prior to the guests joining so that they could really feel the hard work pored into their wedding day...

Read on for more about their wedding day and then head on over to...

This wedding reminds me of my very own (minus this insanely beautiful ceiling installation!). I'm a sucker for a white-washed wedding venue and loads of blooms, so the combo of Legacy Acres with...
There were no passports needed for this wedding at Bella Collina in Monteverde, Florida. However, you were immediately transported to the rolling hillside of Tuscany with the manicured gardens, breathtaking views and surrounded by the tranquil sounds of nature. This was all visible from the cobblestone villa atop of the hill overlooking the lake. It was the perfect setting for Kristy and Tim’s wedding. ~...
Sometimes I get a little too comfortable in my neutral-loving ways, and then BAM, a styled shoot like this one comes along and reminds me how beautiful a splash of color really is. With planning and design by This Love Weddings and florals by Sadie’s Couture Floral and Event Design, there’s a whole lot of pin-worthy inspo that I hope to see in...
