Real Wedding

I came across this wedding that was shot by Jamie Brokus of Color Splash Studio and couldn't help but share it. The venue, the colors, the flowers...everything made me swoon! The vintage garden feel of every aspect of this wedding is incredible.




And, of course, my favorite part is all the details details details!!! From the clothes-pined escort cards and the adorable Just Married sign to the Mason jars and the fire-pit sign, this couple didn't miss a thing.


Thank you Jamie for sharing this amazing wedding!

I loved these shots because they all have some fun and unique about them.

This first shot by J Photography of GR was taken during a thunderstorm, I love how you can see the rain drops falling around the bride.


This one from Photo Op Studio is great because it has the traditional shot of the bride and groom's feet but adds a fun touch with the reflection.


The way Steven F. Fox Photography captured this interaction between the bride and groom is adorable, I love the expressions on both of their faces, too cute.

Trash-the-Dress - Laura and Tyler

When I come across fabulous things I feel that they need to be shared. Jon of Junebug Photography shared this Trash-the-Dress Session with us so in turn I had to share it with you all!

I love the idea of a Trash the Dress Session after the wedding. You can get all of the fun shots that you wouldn't dare do in your dress on the big day. A lot of people may imagine that doing a shoot like this means that your dress will literally be trashed afterward but that is not always the case, granted it will most likely need to be cleaned.


Did you know that September's Bride cleans and preserves gowns? This is a great thing to remember when scheduling YOUR Trash-the-Dress session. We will get your gorgeous dress back to it's amazing original state, contact us today for more details.

Yes, I am a Facebook junkie, I am aware of it. One of my biggest obsessions are all the amazing photographers that I follow and am friends with. Each week I get to see fantastic images from their weekend adventures and I love to share some of those shots here with you.

Looking for a Last Minute Photographer??

Katie DeWinter of Katie DeWinter Photography had plans to move to the East side of the state but lucky for us those plans have changed!

Due to this upcoming move she had not been booking weddings for this fall but now she is re-opening her fall dates and would love to work with you on your big day.

Katie's pricing is very budget friendly but she is offering extra incentive to fill up her calendar.

Check out her blog and give her a call today.

Some of the simplest locations can produce the most beautiful images. I love how photographers can see the end result while looking at the unfinished product, it is such an amazing talent to have. Here are some images from this week's submissions that show this talent.
