I think this wedding definitely speaks for itself. A beautiful outdoor setting at Linn Canyon Ranch in Victor, ID, gorgeous sunlight, handmade details and an adorable couple. It is a wedding like this that should remind you that simple can be absolutely beautiful.

Boy do I love Summer. But, I happen to love watermelon more (and, Fall). But still, this shot should make anyone love Summer.

I may live in the Midwest, but I seriously channel my inner Southern girl when it comes to menswear at weddings. I’m so over the matchy-matchy vests and ties (and you should be as well). And, while I love a good colorful tie (I should, our groomsmen will be sporting them), I’m a big ‘ol sucker for a man in a bow tie. Well, really, I’m just a sucker for a bow tie. Period.

And, how could you not be?

So, do you prefer a plain tie, a quirky bow tie, or the traditional matchy vest/tie combo?

Something blue, AND a bow. Le swoon!

This fab pair of yellow heels is courtesy of friend and fellow blogger, Mrs. French Bulldog, from over on Weddingbee.  She told me she wore patent yellow shoes on her wedding day and I had to see. They are quite gorgeous (I have a think for yellow shoes). So thanks, for sharing, Ali!

I love when out of town photographers come to town to shoot local couples. It is always interesting to see their perspective on my hometown.  Kate Harrison recently made her way in town to shoot Angie & Corey’s engagement session, and their wedding.

Not only do I love the sunlight in these photos, but I truly love the last two. It captures the Midwest so truthfully.  It’s exactly what happens when a few thunderstorms roll in. And, it makes for a great photo op.

I keep wavering back and forth between doing a day after session or not. B isn’t quite up for it…but I think these photos might just change is mind. Fingers crossed.

Also, this bride happens to be wearing yellow TOMS. A girl after my own heart.

Oh, and did I mention that these photos are taken with film. FILM. Gorgeous. Seriously.
