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.
Just in case you weren’t aware, Chelsea Clinton got married this weekend. And, as much as I know that these photos will be everywhere for the next week or so, I couldn’t not share them, but there is something so classic and beautiful and timeless about them. About her dress. And, the setting.
These photos are exactly why I encourage all brides-to-be (and grooms) to do a first look. I know, I know, it’s breaking tradition – but not only do you get wonderful bride/groom reactions, but you get some absolute must-happen time alone with your groom on your wedding day.
I personally cannot wait for my first look with the Pilot. I hope he shoots some shocking looks my way!
I love when brides push the envelope. A little rock n’ roll, a little rebellion. So much personality.
Case in point: Amanda and Ben were wed at the Bay Pointe Inn in Shelbeyville, Michigan.
And, as part of their “big finale” the two decided to take the plunge. Right into wakeboarding. Amanda in her gown and Ben wearing his full suit. Don’t believe me?
For one, I suck at wakeboarding, so this would never happen. But, it does make me wish we were getting married in the mountains so the Pilot and I could snow ski/snowboard in our attire. Would be fun!
Some of us love our pets (me included). So much so in fact that we want to include them in our weddings. I don’t blame anyone for wanting to do this. I quite think my pup is the coolest, more adorable dog on the planet, and if it weren’t for the fact that the Pilot and I are having quite a large wedding with everyone staying in hotels, we would have included her.
So, how do you include your pup if he/she can be there? Any number of ways!
It’s hot outside (well, at least in the Midwest). So, why not cool off, right?
Christ and Bo had planned a little fun for their wedding guests after their sweet and intimate ceremony in downtown St. Louis. A little fun in the form of a water balloon fight. And, I cannot get over how fantastic these images are, not to mention how gorgeous the light is.
Obviously, not every bride is going to be game for launching water balloons back and forth with her groom, but you cannot deny that the idea is definitely a fun one!
I love anything quirky, funny and lovey-dovey (i.e. videos like this one). Andy from Oceanwide Studios shared this one just yesterday (and I’m a sucker for wedding videos), so I’m passing along. Not only does a wedding video like this truly capture the character and personality of the couple, but it tells a beautiful story.
Yes, you read that correctly. Apparently, the new trend in weddings is having the bride wear a diaper because “dresses are just too complicated.” Don’t believe me? Watch this.
Rain. Most brides (and grooms) dread that lovely little four letter word. We all wish for sun and blue skies on our wedding day. But at the end of the day, shouldn’t you be excited about getting married, regardless of what the weather is like? I think this bride’s face says it all.
