When I was little, my dad always told me that I should wait to get married until I had travelled the world. It never made any sense to me. But, I think his deeper meaning was that marriage also brings responsibilities and real life in a way that being on your own doesn't. And turns out, he was sort of right...I haven't travelled abroad for pleasure since my honeymoon. Well, this couple is proving his theory wrong with a STUNNING engagement shoot at...
When today's Bride, Lindsay, sent us her wedding, she started out by saying, "SO glad SMP is back!" When we hear that, our hearts sing a quiet little Hallelujah! In case you don't know me, I'm Abby's proud mama! I treasure each and every email that starts out like that! So thank you, sweet Lindsay (and Jennifer Bagwell Photography), for your support... and for sharing your beautiful wedding with us today! Lindsay...
We asked our bride, Grace, to describe her personal style, to which she said: Classic, feminine, simple, timeless. There's nothing that give us more joy than when we see that our couples are able to successfully project their personal styles and preferences into their wedding. Grace and Stephen's wedding at Rust Manor House in Leesburg, VA was a gorgeous display of delicate and simple...

I am so glad you are here. It helps me realize how beautiful my world is.
Jacob and I met on none other than TINDER when the app was in its infancy. We knew from the moment we ‘swiped right’ that something special was in the air and have been inseparable ever since we locked eyes! Jacob proposed to me at our home in Dallas in the most perfect, intimate, profession of love surrounded by our fur babies (and lots of wagging tails) - as I like to joke, who would have thought that TINDER could have sparked such a wildfire!! ~from the Bride

Lexie and Ian's "Best Day Ever!" was the perfect July send off! These two planned their entire wedding in two short weeks from Hawaii. Even when the threat of rain dashed their plans for an outdoor ceremony, they didn't let it ruin their day. With a 14 ft. tall American flag welcoming guests into the reception, this military wedding was full of red, white and blue details. The loose greens and white blooms in the bouquets and centerpieces completed the simple yet elegant look for Lexie's dream...
Evan called me in a slight panic. He had carefully curated every detail for his proposal to Emily aside from securing a photographer. I agreed to capture the engagement purely based on his enthusiasm and eager insistence over the phone. There was no doubt from that first conversation with Evan that he was smitten with sweet Emily. Still, seeing that love take shape during the proposal and wedding day was nothing short of epic. I practically begged these two to let me capture the wedding after...
Katy and Phil flew all the way from the UK to get married in NYC! They wanted the urban New York City as their backdrop and just have an small intimate yet exciting destination wedding. Their families also came to support their marriage. Katy is a florist from the UK so her florals and photography were an important part of the day. Along with getting that NYC grittiness with murals and graffiti, we also were able to luck out with a 2 -day pop up ice cream shop from MILK LA that was happening in...

From Vanessa, the Bride... Our wedding was in a town in Florence called Barberino Val D'elsa, the perfect setting for our intimate Tuscan wedding. We married on September 5th 2017, and celebrated our reception at Borgo Petrognano. What made our wedding special was not only the setting and the love we received from our friends and family; but also that our vision was brought to life. From the catering, music, flowers and lighting; everything was perfect and exactly how we pictured it when we...
From Jenna McElroy's Bride... I knew I wanted my wedding to be in Austin, with beautiful hills and greenery for an outdoor ceremony. Kindred Oaks was ideal for its gorgeous archway and covered dining area - which, it turned out, we needed! Our priest, a dear family friend, had to rush the ceremony to beat the rain, and in a photo finish, the last guest just made it inside before it started pouring buckets. Fifteen minutes...
This late Spring, open air wedding in the heart of Perth, Western Australia was an absolutely stunning day.

Feted Events styled the event to perfection with lush florals, clean whites, and a modern-luxe finish. A gelato cart greeted guests at cocktail hour and they enjoyed the evening under...
Isn't it so magical to think, “With all the stars in the sky, somehow I found you?” Couples have been looking to the stars when it comes to love for years. Whether it be to wish upon a star to bring you the one of your dreams or to find out if you and your new love are a good zodiac match, the magic of the stars has always been there to lend a helping hand. Love is written in the sky... And that, friends, is the inspiration behind today's wedding vision from...
From Mustard Seed Organic Photography... The Bride loved the idea of an outdoor wedding, so they transformed their reception venue to flood the space with beautiful outdoor elements from tall tree centerpieces to glowing lights to represent a star filled night. Sentimental items from the couples relationship made for the sweetest details as guests entered the reception: they incorporated little "artifacts" from their...
