Avory & Corey had some pretty dramatic engagements to fit in with their pretty epic style. Photographer Tiffanie used a 'light painting' technique to achieve these stunning results. The couple are a crafty pair who make their own glass jewellery and so it's obvious that such a creative couple deserve a pretty creative shoot right? If you wanted to buy some pieces by Avory & Corey then check out their company Eye Deal Glass. Credit: Tiffanie Weaver PhotographyRead more...

Didn't I tell you I had a lot of amazingness to catch up on? This is what happens when I have to hold off posting for just one day! Jenn & Graham had these crazy portraits taken on their actual wedding day as they decided to set enough time on the day to get some amazing shots (that's got to be every photographer's dream right!?) I adore Jenn's organic dress, it is just so stunning and of course it goes without saying that the bike shots, the Groom style (hot!) and the superhero cake topper are awesome! This has got to be one of the coolest weddings ever! Thanks to Erin of Fuller Edge Photography for sharing!Read more...

Aly & Elroi's wedding was described by the couple as 'one of the most magical days of our lives' A day filled with such a fun party vibe and one where all their friends and family pulled together to help them achieve the wedding of their dreams. Just a few examples of their amazing friends who helped out include, both their outfit's being made by a friend of theirs who lives in New York and another friend made and travelled with their wedding cake all the way from Texas! They had another friend cater for them and some other friends who made the invitations. Funny and persoanal anecdotes are what makes wedding like this great, and Aly spoke about their impromptu (and hilarious) bridal shower... So, I went to the coffee shop to meet them, got my coffee, sat down and realized that everyone was being weirdly quiet as I babbled and babbled. So, I stopped and was like, "What's going on? Why aren't y'all so quiet?" And my friend Lindsey says, "Well, I'm just going to tell you. You're kidnapped." "Huh?" Danielle, my MOH, shouts "Get in the car. I'm not gonna tell you twice!" (She was trying to be tough-sounding in a hilarious way.) So I was handed a clue that I had to decipher to tell them where we were going to. I was like, "Wait- you're kidnapping me but I have to tell you where to take me?" Danielle: "Don't ask questions!" Ha! So I figured out that the place the clue was talking about was the place Elroi proposed. So we went there and took pictures that would be left as a clue for Elroi, who has also unknowingly been kidnapped from our house by his side of the wedding party. (Side note: Elroi was actually kidnapped right in the middle of washing our dogs. So, Danielle's boyfriend who had been helping at the house took over dog-washing duties. As El's friends were leaving with him, Macauley, our rascally cake-maker instructed Danielle's boyfriend to just "wash as many dogs as you can." Every time I solved a clue, I got a present--so it was also like a surprise shower. I couldn't believe I didn't know anything about it and I felt so loved that all these people would plan something so elaborate and fun for us. Thanks to Aly & Elroi for sharing their gorgeous wedding and story! Credit: Our Labor Of LoveRead more...

Jana & Gerry's engagements kicked it. They had them in Eastern State Penitentiary in Philadelphia... What makes us a rock 'n' roll couple? Well, we met backstage. Gerry has played in local Philly bands for years and we were introduced by his cousin. Being an attorney, I've been known to get into a shouting match (or two) with a record label over royalties for my man. Besides that, we're having one of Philly's best rock DJs do our wedding and we're having it at the Mutter Museum - because if you can't have a wedding onstage, medical oddities are a close second.Read more...

Russian Photographer Catherine Alechinsky has send me a selection of her wonderfully surreal, fairytale-like images. These remind me of the sort of images you'd find illustrating a fantasy story...I'm going start with this cute couple...I love her hairband, she reminds me of Alice in Wonderland or something. Thanks to Catherine for sending me these and to reader Chanelle for drawing my attention to her work.Read more...

This fun, quirky, laid back engagement session perfectly reflects the couple in it. With a pair of artists as subjects - Kelsey, an art historian & Stephan, a painter - what other sort of engagement session would you expect than one like this? An artistic, calm and serene vision that's what these are. I like them an awful lot. Photographer Emily Garrick seriously rocked this session - thanks so much for sharing!Read more...

OK so I'm pretty much giddy with excitement over sharing this Las Vegas engagement session and wedding sent to me by photographer Holly Jones. Chronologically it makes sense to start with the engagements right? I am c-c-c-crazy about Teneisha's pink dress and yellow shoe combo and of course the Neon Graveyard makes for a completely awesome backdrop. EEEK I can't wait to show you the wedding later - she has the most gorgeous green, polka-dotted dress!Read more...

I love Japan rather a lot (have you noticed that about me!?) I love the fashion, the food, the people...the Hello Kitty - everything. In fact I think there is nothing about Japan I don't like, and Tokyo is by far the most amazing city I have ever been to. So when I clapped eyes on Sandra & Richard's engagements by the fabulous Tealily Photography I had no doubt in my mind that a feature would be getting underway. Photographer Trish described their shoot: Joel and I waited at the old green carriage and the statue of the dog which seemed to be a very popular thing to do amongst the human sea of trendy Japanese and slighty overwhelmed tourists. I had only conversed with Sandra via email to that date and suddenly realised I had no idea who I was looking for until I spotted a couple of sweet faces pull through the crowd. We had decided to catch up for dinner since Joel and I were passing through Tokyo and decided to try and fit in a few shots before the light disappeared for the night. We weren't quite sure where to head for these photos in the crazy streets of Tokyo, but Sandra had decided to triple up this date as a bit of sightseeing for us and lead the way. One of the many things I love about Tokyo is how diverse the city is. One minute your under the bright lights of the Shibuya crossing, then you turn a corner and your right in front of an ancient shrine. I would live there in a heartbeat. Thank for the reminiscing Trish & Joel!Read more...

Jenna of Jenna Cole Photography and That Wife send this wedding my way and I am thrilled! That dress is spectacular. Photographer Kelli Ward told me the couple both got their outfits custom made in China as that was where they were living right up to the wedding. In fact she didn't even meet the couple until the wedding day! Special thanks to Jenna for sending me this and to Kelli for letting me share this gorgeous wedding with you.Read more...

Is today the day of Rock n Roll Australian's or what? After featuring Jess & Dana’s amazing engagements and wedding this morning I feel I need to continue the theme with Ben and Jessamy's urban retro inspired affair. I am loving the Bride's dress from Carla Zampatti and cute shoulder length veil from Wedding Veils Australia. She also got her shoes from Sachi.Read more...

I always wonder who photographers choose to take their own wedding photographs. Oh the pressure of having to shoot a fellow professional's wedding! Ben Haisch and his gorgeous fiance Maddie definitely lucked out by having Sean Flanigan shoot their engagements...you might actually call it a perk of the job having such talented friends!Read more...

Your proposal (whether you're the proposer or proposee) has got to be the most romantic moment of your life so far right? (even if it's not!) So what's a better idea than this - asking a photographer to hide and capture the most important and special moments as they unfold. I would love to have photographs of this exact second, when I stood in shocked silence before finally saying 'YES!'Read more...
