If I have one regret from my wedding day it would be not hiring a cinematographer. Anyone else? Since I got married before the days of SMP and all things wedded chic, I had no idea how special a highlight film can be. I reach for the tissues multiple times a day over couples I don't even know, but when the cinematographer is as great as Lovebird Studios and the couple is as sweet as Meredith and Ben, who can blame me?

When paper lanterns are used to their advantage, they can be stunning, and this bride knew what she was doing with those lanterns. Hanging like happy little clouds over the entire reception, they set the tone for beautiful charm, and the wedding quickly followed suit. After perusing Bia Sampaio Photography's images from the day, I can say with confidence...
I'm here to let you know Carla Ten Eyck Photography has a handful of super talented photographers. I'm talking, capture the emotions, bottle up the details, freeze the love, photographers. And Julie Morowski is one of them. As you can plainly see by her take on this ridiculously beautiful wedding, she gets lucky with the couples who are drawn to her... but...
There are weddings that make you happy and then there are weddings that make you happy, and I've found that Mexico seems to produce a lot of the latter type. From the blooms courtesy of Florenta Flower Design to the lovely Los Cabos beach to the couple whose personality is woven through the entire day, Sara Richardson Photography has given us the gift of happy...
Any self-proclaimed SMP bride holds a special spot in our hearts. The reason we do what we do (aside from our extreme obsession with everything pretty, chic, and matrimonial) is for you. For the bride who spends her lunch hour scouring our galleries, reading our archives, and perusing our Pinterest. We're happy to do it, and all we ask in return are a few pictures of your big day. Especially if it's planned by one of our fab LBBers like...
We love a bride who rocks her mother's dress. But a bride who carries a bouquet inspired by her grandmothers is something I've never seen before, and I'm officially naming it the chic thing to do. This trendsetting bride carried a bouquet from Parties & Petals that stunned and though the rest of the wedding had a lot to live up to, somehow it did it effortlessly. It's gorgeous, and thanks to...
I don't often make promises but the very first image from Pepper Nix Photography of the bride in her stunning gown is going to pull you in and I'm positive you're not going to want to leave this one. Honey of a Thousand Flowers brought in trees y'all. Trees. The Utah fall foliage was so amazing that she had to bring it inside the soiree, and you couldn't pay me to leave...
Confession: Halloween is cool in my book as long as we don't have to watch Hocus Pocus. I saw the movie when a little girl and have been terrified of the Sanderson sisters ever since. However, after coming across this Hocus Pocus inspired shoot from Sequined Silver Lining and Lovestru.ck Weddings & Events, I've come to the conclusion that I can be on board...
Brunch might just be my favorite time of the day. The food is the best, especially when enjoyed after an early morning walk (or even better, a late morning wake up call). So naturally, brunch weddings are my favorite. They've got that air of relaxation without anything to stress about. Erin Jean Photography captured a brunch wedding on Lake Michigan (which...
There are so many things to love about Tuscany... the food, the scenery and the romance! Oh, the romance. Making it the loveliest choice for a wedding backdrop as clearly seen in these photos from Innocenti Studio. It's a shoot sprinkled with rustic touches, nature-inpspired decor and the loveliest florals from Franci's Flowers. Keep reading for Franci's 5 tips on how to...
When classic black tie marries al fresco beach casual the result is nothing short of magical. The juxtaposition of the traditional with the outdoor sunny locale in this wedding is everything I needed today and then some. A great big thanks to Allyson Magda Photography and the beautiful, dog loving couple for sharing the day with us! From the...
Every so often, we come across a wedding that could have made even Jackie O jealous, and today is one of those days. It's so classically beautiful, it will forever live in Vogue, and it's as stunning as stunning can be. Lucky for us, Melani Lust Photography was there capturing every single romantic, candlelit moment. [iframe http://player.
The moodiness of Lime Green Photography's work is stunning. It really puts a lump in your throat, whether you know the beautiful couple or not. I don't personally know these two (though, based on their amazing wedding I think we would totally hit it off) but I had to fight back the tears the entire time I was looking through the gallery!
Jason Walz sent us a wedding that is ridiculously pretty, clean, fresh, and fun. And I loved it from the get go. Anything that happens under a Sperry Tent is my favorite, especially when Gourmet Galley is serving up their delish nosh, but the thing that held me close and...
When the right vendors partner up with the right couple magic ensues. Fête Studios, Paisley & Jade, Just Write Studios, and so many more fabulous vendors worked perfectly together to create this dream of a day for this dream of a family, and lucky for us...
Try as I may, there is no way I could keep this wedding short. It's sweet... oh it's beautifully sweet, but I couldn't risk you not visiting the beautiful gallery from Dani Leigh Photography, so I tried to pack as many stunning shots as I could into this post. But please, don't let that stop you from visiting the gallery! It's filled to the brim...

I adore the couple who stands the test of time before they even set one foot down the aisle. It's just such a testament to the love that they will have as a married couple. Today we've got all that and a gorgeous wedding to boot! Both Kortnee Kate Photography and Voila Cinematic were on the scene of this...
This one has got it all. A bride in a beautiful gown, a groom with a dashing smile, a wedding tricked out in the most amazing decor, and a love that you can feel radiating out of the film from Matt Stambaugh Media. Get ready to smile, to laugh, to shed a tear or two. Get ready for your day to be made. [iframe http://player.vimeo.com/video/74655100 600 338] From the cinematographer... Kara and Josh easily had one of...
It's got to be true love when you hand make 800 origami cranes (her) and bake your own wedding cake (him) all the while living in a camping trailer whilst planning a wedding and renovating your home. Luckily, these two crazy talented lovebirds brought in Love This Day Events to tie up all the loose ends while infusing the day with her signature elegance. Brinton Studios...
