Why, hello Chuck! (Not that Chuck)

Best wedding jumping photo ever. And, see the guy to the left of the groom, Todd? That’s the best man – Todd’s Dad. Kudos to another groom for asking his dad to stand up for him (Kate‘s husband did the same).

Whitley placed her dog’s collar tags on her bouquet in memory of her, as she recently passed away from lymphoma. Talk about pulling at your heart strings.

The cupcakes. Did I not warn you about these cupcakes? The bride happens to work at Molly’s Cupcakes in Chicago, and made these herself! And, how can you not love the retro Nintendo cake. Score.

I can’t help but love a wedding with a lot of character. And funk. And fun. And, really really ridiculously good looking cupcakes (stay tuned for part two).

For the record, I’m dying over these shoes.

We all love posey photos (Well, I don’t, but maybe you do. However, I do really love this photo).

I quite personally love photos like this instead. They tell the true story.

Do yourself a favor and ask your photographer to have fun too. Kudos to Bobbi and Mike for always bringing the fun and the creative.

Holding on to those last few weekends in summer with this pair…

I’m a sucker for a good ballet flat. Especially on wedding day.

This gorgeous session comes straight from Clary Pfeiffer. And, while I may not know the bride-to-be, Kim, but I know her sister very, very well. So, I was thrilled to see this one pop up over on Clary’s blog.

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.
