Simply Beautiful Winter Wedding in Newport Beach

Officially my favorite winter wedding. This Newport Beach beauty hit it right on the spot with a bridal-esque fur wrap in the lightest color, and a dark fur capelet for her bridesmaids. The long light blue gowns are elegant and seasonally appropriate. I love the simple bouquets, wrapped in silver fabric. A touch of class [...]

Taylor Lord Photography shot a beautiful Houston wedding that featured all of the glitz of the holidays. Their wedding had touches of gold in every corner, a fabulous mink coat, peppermint hot chocolate guest favors, and a fake snow exit that made for excellent photographs!

Georgia Plantation Reception

This deliciously southern reception was held in an old cotton warehouse. With a strict budget, the bride focused on a DIY look that she accomplished through antique malls and flea markets. Instead of the traditional, large bridal cake, the bride chose multiple small cakes. This is great for a tight budget! They also had coke [...]

Southern Tent Reception with Natural Elements

This beautiful tent reception comes from Southern Weddings. Alex and Paul married in May with natural elements and bright flowers. I love how fresh and spring everything looks! The large white tent was casual during the sunlight, and became so romantic after sunset. Alex brought her feminine side out with those pink napkins- I think [...]

Oops, She Did it Again!

Britney Spears got engaged over the weekend to former agent Jason Trawick! Known as the man who pulled her out of the darkness- I don’t think Britney has ever looked this happy. Trawick proposed with a custom ring designed by jeweler-to-the-stars Neil Lane. In an interview with People magazine, Lane said “Jason didn’t want an over-the-top [...]

Romantic and Intimate Wedding in Beaver Creek, Colorado

This wedding in Beaver Creek, CO is absolutely breathtaking. By drawing from the natural beauty of the scenery, the bride created a rustic and traditional look. I don’t think she could have chosen a more perfect gown. The lace caplet is the perfect amount of coverage for an outdoor wedding. Many of these elements could [...]

Mad Men Engagement Shoot in New York City

An engagement shoot with a theme can be fun, romantic, quirky, and just the sort of thing to lure you out of your element. For many of us {including myself} posing in front of the camera does not come naturally. I just want to smile- or hide my face! Finding a theme- like Mad Men- [...]
