This Week in Weddings

Ah, it's finally Friday! I know if I were still at my job, instead of home on maternity leave, this day would have come with much anticipation, especially with the impending three day weekend ahead. So congratulations working world, you made it to yet another Friday, which gives you reason to celebrate! So instead of running out and spending your hard earned cash at a gimmicky President's Day Sale, let's kick off the weekend with a look at fabulous wedding celebrations featured around the web this week.

This first wedding, featured on Ruffled Blog, caught my eye with it's vintage accents, bright colors and sweet "love bug." Then the couple stole my heart with their romantic story and traveling gnome! Photography by Frenzel Photographers.

This adorable engagement shoot comes from Grey Likes Weddings and features the work of Meagan from The Collective Photographers. I love that when looking at these photos, I can feel the genuine love this couple shares.

What stood out for me in this Minneapolis wedding by Just Bloomed was the unique color palette, the use of typography and those shoes! Yowza! I adore this wedding photographed by Erica Loeks Photography featured on Style Me Pretty. 

Sigh...I just love weddings. Happy weekend!

Engagement Session from Ripon Photography

I love engagement shoots! I have featured some really lovely work this week, but this spring picnic shoot from Ripon Photography might just be my favorite. The colors and the lighting are absolutely perfect and Andrew & Julie are just so in love!

Aren't they so cute?

This Week In Weddings

It's no secret that I LOVE weddings! Sometimes I peruse the blogosphere searching for amazing wedding inspiration and come up empty handed. I see so many weddings that occasionally I get bored with what I see out there. Repeated photo shoots, overdone motifs. Today, I am excited to be featuring fresh wedding inspiration found on the web this week.

1. Engagement shoot from Brandon Kidd Photography- featured on Green Wedding Shoes.

2. Bright, fun engagement photos from Axioo Photography- featured on Grey Likes Weddings.

3. AMAZING paper record player invitation from Kelli Anderson.

4. New items from BHLDN! I'm so smitten with this shop xoxo

Engagement Session from A Girl and A Camera Photography

I have been in love with San Francisco based A Girl and A Camera Photography ever since my friends Joelle & Lance had their wedding photographed by Jennifer last year. Her work is so beautiful and intimate that I often find myself on her blog wishing I had a reason to be photographed! Today I am featuring the engagement session of Cristina & Greg. I love the story these pictures tell. See the full shoot here. Enjoy!

Engagement Sesh from Ulmer Studios

Just had to share this adorable couple's engagement shoot and love for music! Ulmer Studios captures this simple romance beautifully. Super cool shades pic too. Now I am definitely dreaming of outdoor picnics and summer! More of this shoot is featured on the super fun musically inspired blog, Hi-Fi Weddings.

Palm Springs Wedding Event!

The wonderful ladies over at bash, please & urbanic paper have collected a group of FABULOUS vendors and genius event stylists to share some wedding inspiration at their annual Hitched event. Taking place on January 30th at the Ace Hotel in Palm Springs, their vendor list includes 100 Layer Cake, The Life Styled, Love me Sailor Photography (all of whom I adore!) and the Aqualillies! That's right, synchronized swimmers! See their website for the full details. I am bummed that I won't be able to make it, but it seems like one hell of a party for brides, grooms, and any interested parties.

Engagement Video!

I just HAD to share this engagement video from Loren Brinton Films! This incredibly adorable couple puts a twist on antiquated newspaper engagement announcement. Wish I would have thought of this for my wedding!
