As promised in our earlier post, a week jam-packed with weddings from 2009 to inspire you ... to fill your senses with beauty and emotion ... and to recognize Style Me Pretty's terrific family of cinematographers!
Leading off this week's "Year In Review" from one of SMP's shining stars is a dazzling LA wedding from Curtis & Laura Heyne and the Living Cinema team ...
Heather and Chris were...
We have sooooo many fantastic wedding cinematographers who are a part of our Style Me Pretty family. Throughout the year, they send us many wonderful submissions and though we love and respect them all so much ... we don't run all that many film features on the LBB blog. I just wanted to take a quick minute to try to explain why...
Photos are our bread and butter. Not in a monetary sense, but in an image-based blog such as we have, they ARE the story. They are the inspiration...
For most of you, this has probably been a hectic, but hopefully happy week! It's hard to get everything done and still enjoy the 'reason for the season'. It's one of those things that I have to force myself to do. Stop. Breathe. Just enjoy the moments.
And so, from me to all of you ... our readers, our Little Black Book members ... my wish for you this weekend is to find peace and to celebrate love!
...
If you are a romantic ... if you are passionate about your wedding day ... if you want to remember it in ALL it's glory ... Sharrone is THE cinematographer for you!
Watch ... and behold Fiore Films in Action!
Seriously terrific!

Continuing on with our call for Award-Winning Wedding Photography from our LBB photographers ... today's gorgeous images are from the equally gorgeous Steve DePino ...
These images haven't officially won any awards (yet), but in our books, they should! Steve took part in this terrific Holiday Photo Shoot that Abby featured a few days ago on SMP. He was there as the dashing groom!
Before I head out for the day to start (yes, start) my Christmas shopping, I wanted to begin our Holiday Film Fest! Over the next two weeks, we're going to be bringing you wedding film after wedding film to drool and envy over ... to make you get serious about all the different styles of film making choices that are "out there" and to simply remind you what this whole glorious business is all about!
Our LBB cinematographers have been sorely under-represented on the LBB blog ...
Well ... we wanted to take a few days off to finish up our holiday shopping (dare I say 'start' our shopping?!) ... and so we put out a 911 for some quick, easy posts from our LBB photographers and cinematographers. From the photographers, we asked for a peek at some of their award winning photos and wow did we get a lot of really terrific wedding shots!
So we're kicking it off today ... the first of our Holiday Hiatus from full real-wedding posts on the LBB blog. Instead, we're...
We TOTALLY love it when we are allowed to take part in a couple's journey from their engagement story through to their wedding story. When we first saw Jen and Matt ~ told you how they met and shared...
We just featured a few images from Allyson Magda's engagement shoot with Julianne & Drew at Santa Margarita Ranch. While I was looking at her blog post on the shoot, I saw...
So .... we're getting down to the wire ... all of the Christmas and New Year's proposals! Can't wait to hear the stories!! All you ladies who have friends or famly who get engaged over the holidays, DO please send us a note!! We'd love to run some of the stories ~ even IF we don't have photos yet.
Now, back to today's business at hand. Julianne and Drew's Engagement Shoot from...
Seems as if we've had a slew of Colorado weddings on the LBB Blog lately, but we really couldn't pass this one up! Shot by the fabulous Jenna Walker and submitted by today's beautiful SMP bride, Lacee ... well, it's simple and chic with a casual flair ~ done perfectly!
From Lacee ...
After losing our planner it was all on me in the last 30 days on a super tight budget to pull off the amazing wedding I had always dreamed of.
The weeks leading up to the...
Anne & Bill Holland, two of our very talented LBB photographers have a very special giveaway over on their blog! In honor of the staff at Charm City Cakes, they...
Yesterday, Abby featured a Cape Cod wedding with some seriously adorable peacock cake toppers. And on Tuesday, the so-so-so precious wedding from Justin & Mary Marantz with equally...
We haven't featured Kendall Brown's Color Stories for quite awhile, so we have a little catching up to do! However, before we get to that, I have to share a little more holiday eye candy! From Eclatante's Boutique...
I live in Texas, so I think of April as spring. Not so in Colorado! For Paige and John it was an awesome winter wedding!
Before we get to the heart of the wedding though, you've got to see Paige's gown ... a Lela Rose design from the lovely ladies at Anna Bé in Denver ...

We have a few engagements we'd love to celebrate with you today! You know we're huge believers in e*shoots ... we've pretty much hammered that into your heads in the past. Today, we have an engagement session, submitted by LBB member Mackenzie Spalding of One Fine Day Wedding Consultation and shot by...
Kara Underwood Gordon, LBB member and owner of Magnificent Milestones has shared some photos from her own September wedding and we know you're going to love it!
Kara and Michael went to great lengths to combine their individual personalities and their common Irish heritage into one gorgeous event. They were married at...
I kind of feel like this post should be over on Backstage! But since it's not, here goes ...
I was having a bit of a tough time getting into the holiday spirit. Lots of family stuff going on. Way backed up at work. (I've got a very understanding boss, though.) I was looking for some serious winter inspiration (which would mean going into last years' weddings) and I happened upon...
This past July, Deborah Nadel designed a calligraphed piece of artwork for one Style Me Pretty reader. She selected Melissa's entry because she said "it made her heart melt"! (We'll show you the finished product in just a bit!) But first, we're happy to share with you the wonderful wedding that ensued ... Melissa and Christopher's wedding!
