This next little soiree is pure love. Pure, unabashed, wish-I-was-there kind of love. It's one of those weddings that can warm up even the most discerning wedding aficionado, where beauty and personality come shining through each and every detail. Photographed by Meredith Davenport for Christian Oth Studios, I think you guys are going to fall pretty hard for this bride and groom...
I definitely have tomboy tendencies but show me anything with a Parisian flair and I turn into a big squealing girly girl. This Napa Valley wedding by Michelle Walker Photography definitely got my heart racing with blue and white Parisian street signs, French-inspired postcards and an all around feeling of whimsy and enchantment. And how cute are those custom cake toppers made to look like the bride and groom down to her...
We are suckers for sentimental touches here at SMP, and I am a certified sap when it comes to traditions that help personalize weddings. Particularly when said tradition is fashion based. Take for instance this breathtaking Brooklyn wedding by Erik Ekroth Photography - the bride's gorgeous coat has been passed down for 50 years, and is to be worn when the women in the family need a little time in the spotlight. Now that is a tradition I...

We have died and gone to dress heaven. We are long time fans of ruffle-tastic dresses, but this one seriously blows it out of the ballpark. The bride is rockin' it and we can't get enough. This amazingly glamorous wedding, shot by Jeff Tisman Photography, is full of sweet little details. We are loving the punches of green that are infused throughout the day...just gorgeous! Are you dying to see more of that...
There is something so utterly romantic about this next featured affair. Photographed by the talented team at m three studio, it's elegant and timeless and when you read the details that went into the day, you see that it's also a perfect representation of the gorgeous couple. But what I love the most about this pretty, pretty wedding is that the style is such a mish-mash of all of the little things I love...an elegant backdrop and an...
We first saw Sarah and Hunter's "easy breezy rehearsal dinner" from Kristin Vining Photography in June on SMP. Their...
Good morning SMP-ers! I hope everyone had a lazy, wonderful weekend. We are kicking off the week with one of THE most spectacular weddings I've ever seen. You know, one of those weddings that makes you want to dump all of the decisions you've made thus far and copy every little detail that this bride infused. Photographed by our friends at Belathee, I am in swoon city this morning.
Let's hear if for all you "yellow" brides! I have to say, yellow accented weddings are a particular fave in my books. They're sunny, vibrant and cheery. Just like this Mexico destination wedding photographed by Tec Petaja. For those of you who aren't familiar with Tec's photography, you're in for a treat. Tec is an artist with a knack for capturing every. little. detail. And Lindsay and Campbell's wedding is the perfect...
I couldn't help but fall in love with this completely adorable wedding that Kelty over at Steep Street Photography sent our way. Aside from being held at one of the most fabulous So Cal venues, Smog Shoppe, it's also 100% personality. Which you know we really love.
We met as next door neighbors freshman year in the dorms at UC Berkeley and were best friends...

Today we're finishing up our featured wedding from Dave Robbins Photography with a bit of Abby and Matt's story! But before we get to that, we wanted to elaborate just a bit more on the favors. Abby told us that in the 1800's, sugar was always sold in blue paper-wrapped cones. For their wedding, Abby and Matt were able to find these sugar cones from a historical reenactment company and used them...
Most of the time when we see a new wedding up on Justin & Mary's site, we want it! That's mostly because their ability to tell the story of the day through their images is so incredible ... but also because their weddings are just so SMP-style weddings. Pretty much 100% of the time! Take, for example, today's wedding ... how much better than this does it get?
Just in case you...
For those of you that don't know about Fred Marcus Photography, it's one of those studios where the focus is always on the couple, always on the emotion. Capturing the simple but innate beauty of the day.The perfect details and the absolute joy behind each image. And when I saw this wedding that they recently photographed, I think that I fell in love all over again.
