Right before the Christmas holidays, we received a submission from one of our newest Little Black Book floral designers based in Washington DC and Virginia. She and a team of her favorite wedding vendors in the area had just finished up a Winter Wedding Inspiration Shoot and she asked if we would like to feature it. Long story short, we are tickled to pieces to finally be able to bring you the Winter Wedding Inspiration Photo Shoot from...
Do you know how ~ when you're at a movie and it's really spellbinding ... and toward the end you become totally mesmerized ~ waiting. And then there's a crescendo that builds higher and higher until the final moment. You are full of emotion and drained of emotion. You just sit there. The entire theatre is quiet. No one moves. Everyone is wrapped up in their own thoughts while the impact of the ending soaks in.
That's what Michelle and Michael's Black Label film from...
I have been waiting 'with bated breath' to see the photos from Candice's own wedding. So yesterday's front page SMP feature was a huge delight for me! Not only was it all that I knew it would be ... it was one of those Little Black Book...
Sorry ... I just couldn't help myself! This first photograph made me want to look up the lyrics to "Colors Of The Wind." It's one of the most awe-inspiring images I've ever seen!
This is the wedding of Veronica and Olivier as seen through the lenses of Andrew and Katrina ~ Sedona Bride.
Olivier and Veronica are from Canada and were married in May in a unique American Indian...
We have three gorgeous weddings from Andrew and Katrina of Sedona Bride. First up was Christine & Trent's ultra-sophisticated New Year's Eve Wedding at the...
Can you imagine a more romantic New Year's Eve kiss? The beginning of your new life together? I can't. I honestly can't.
When Andrew and Katrina sent us Christine and Trent's 2008 New Year's Eve wedding, I knew that it simply had to be the first full wedding feature that...
So ..... we are now well into the third day of a wonderful new year .... well rested .... quite ready to jump headlong into a new wedding season with the newly engaged, the spring brides who are putting the finishing touches on their weddings as well as all of you other wedding aficionados who make Style Me Pretty one of your favorite daily reads!
We want to say thank you ~ a HUGE thank you ~ to all of our Little Black Book cinematographers who sent us their favorite wedding...
Good Morning 2010! Wow ... it's hard to believe we're in a new decade. And while the technology of wedding documentation has grown by leaps and bounds, we find ourselves appreciating the older artistic styles of the past even more now than we did back then! We've shown you several examples this week of the Super 8 style of cinematographry that has become popular with brides and grooms. Today, we'd like to show you a film produced by Andy Jackson of...
For all of you new AND seasoned "vintage lovers" out there, this E*film from Mike Cyr at Buzz Media Company will be right up your alley!
From Mike at Buzz Media ... Meg and Ty (and Norah!) were made for Super 8 films with their sweet, simple, classic old-school sensibilities. This Super 8 medium...
It's the fourth day of SMP's tribute to the cinematographers in our Little Black Book who work tirelessly to give us all just a brief glimpse back in time to that day ... that one really special day ... that is YOUR new beginning. And it seems only fitting to bring you this highlight film from United Wedding Productions of Lisa and Yen's 2009 wedding. ...
We ASKED our LBB cinematographers to send us their favorite clips from this past year. We are die-hard wedding video people. No kidding, right? After a week full of wedding films ... from simple and pretty to elegant and posh ... you have to know that! Seriously.
I ASKED Joe Simon to let us post this short December wedding film. Because, to me, this IS what "it" is all about. These...
As we continue on with more 2009 favorites from our SMP cinematographers ...
Imagine ... you're married! All the months and months of planning and stressing about the details are over. And you almost can't believe it ~ it went by so fast! Now, it's time to celebrate ... there's nothing but fun in store for you and your sweetie!! After a few quick shots with your photographer, you head on over to the reception and voilá! A same-day-edit film from YOUR WEDDING is prepped and...
When we asked Style Me Pretty's LBB cinematographers to send us one of their favorite films from this past year, I have to confess, I had no clue what the difference between a highlight or a trailer was. Might not sound like a big deal to you, but for me, a blog editor, that's pretty sad. And I was pretty embarrassed to ask anyone about it. Thanks to...
As we continue our quest to pay homage to the filmmakers around this wonderful world of weddings, we come back to Boston!
Ben and Edie were married at the Boston Harbor Hotel in a ceremony that incorporated elements of both of their heritages ~ Cambodian and Jewish. The ceremony was performed by his uncles, Jerry and...
This, the second day of our tribute week to the talented men and women of the wedding film industry is drawing to an end with an emotion-packed highlight film from Grace and Russ' gorgeous wedding from Awesome Shot Studios. We talk frequently about why you must consider having a cinematographer present on your wedding day. This week, we're trying not to beat that into your brains ... we're hoping that by...
Last night I read a post on Vantage Point's blog. It is a piece about the up-side and down-side of being in the wedding film industry. A Story About Love (by Laura) is about a very special group of people ... their fellow wedding filmmakers.
We have an honest to goodness real wedding treat in store for you today from our forever-friend Richard Israel. We are always honored to highlight his exquisite wedding photography, but in this case, Richard has teamed up with another SMP favorite, Kristin Vining Photography and is sharing a beguiling film...
Odetta (originally from Albania) and Brett (originally from Australia), met at the immigration authority applying for American citizenship! As the ultra-talented Naomi Raiselle at Generations Cinemastories tells, the rest is history!
As you watch their story, you'll see the total and unabashed love on Odetta and Brett's faces every second of the day ...
While we hear the term vintage in the wedding world alot, I think that the quaint elegance of the Barr Mansion ~ the site of Rick & Jennifer's November wedding ~ is more accurately described as antique chic! Maybe that sounds silly. Vintage vs. antique? But from someone who grew up amid rustic Texas primitive homes, there's a huge difference to me. Anyway ... this Victorian home was built in 1898 by WB Barr...
It's rare that we publish a trash the dress session. And although the dress in this film does take quite a beating, it's really not about that! This film is SO full of energy and SO full of life that I couldn't help busting out in a huge grin! This shoot from Blue Skies Cinema is just an amazing example of the aura of out & out glee surrounding this bride on her big day. This bride OWNS her...
