Washington DC based wedding photographer Rachel Couch of A-Muse Photography loves nothing more than working with couples on their wedding day. "I also do a fair amount of fashion and lifestyle work", she writes, "and I really value my ability to shoot within several different genres since I think it makes me look at everything with fresh eyes. 'Magical realism' is the name of the game -- I try to create photographs that are both epic and cinematic, but also honest and intimate."

I'm not a big dancer (well, in public) but one thing I am a super fan of is some seriously good music to get a party started. While having dancing at your wedding may or may not be top at the list of your priorities, having some damn fine entertainment certainly should be.

It’s Not a Party Without a Photo Booth!

May 28, 2014

I am an unashamed photo booth hog. To me, there is nothing more exciting than walking into a party and discovering that there's one present. I'll be the first one in and the last one out. I JUST LOVE THEM. Silly props! Stupid poses! Click click snap snap! That is my idea of a damn good time.

When it comes to deciding what kind of sparkler you'd like to say "I do" with, the possibilities really are endless. Would you like diamonds or a semi-precious stone? In gold, silver, platinum, titanium or even wood..? How about some custom engraving, or even an antiqued finish? These days, the only limit is your imagination!

Summer Bridesmaid Hairspiration

May 14, 2014

You know me, I'm no wallflower, so when Claire's asked me if I'd like to play dress up using some of their brightest of the bright brand new hair adornments, I really couldn't say no. When that trademark lilac packaging landed on my doorstep and I tore into it, I was greeted with so many pretty florals and bright colours that it instantly lifted my hump day mood. I immediately started thinking of ways I could dress them up, bridesmaid's style!

I've heard way too many stories from people who've had to postpone or even cancel getting married simply because they couldn't afford it. That makes me so very sad. Of course the amount you spend has less than zero indication on how awesome your marriage will be, but if you have little or no savings, even a completely budget wedding can be out of the question.

When Freixenet, the Spanish cava producers, got in touch to ask if I wanted to have a party on them, and share the results on my blog, I nearly fell off my chair. Talk about my dream job! Then they told me they also wanted to include the chance for my readers to win enough cava to keep their wedding rocking well into the wee hours and I almost did a backflip!

Ahh the great British hen do... the chance for brides-to-be and their friends to blow off some pre-wedding steam, get royally sozzled and (most likely) cause a bit of harmless chaos in the process. I've always been a bit of a party girl, so far from something I frown upon, I can totally see the appeal of all of the above. In fact I totally did all of the above for my own!

Online Dating: Is Meeting Your Partner Online Still Taboo?

Kat

March 21, 2014

I love a good proposal story. From viral videos of guys doing the most romantic and over the top gestures, right down to hearing that they just decided to get hitched over breakfast in bed one morning. However sometimes, even more than that, I love listening to a couple tell the story of how they first met, especially when they don't agree! "No, you pursued me!", "Whatever, it was you that eventually asked me out!" Although I don't always include it in the real weddings that I feature, I always ask everyone I interview for this blog those two questions. Firstly because it really helps to set up the story of their love, and usually helps to explain why they wanted to do certain things for their wedding, but mostly because I'm just a bit nosy!

I wouI wouldn't call myself particularly artistic. I love to write and I'm not bad at taking the odd photograph, but anything more fiddly and I'm all fingers and thumbs! So when Rachel Jeffrey got in touch asking if Gareth and I would like to visit her studio to make some rings, I was slightly apprehensive.

When I was engaged and started looking for wedding shoes I was quite frankly horrified at what was passing as acceptable footwear for brides. Gross, cream, satin monstrosities that cost £500? No thank you very much.

Planning your honeymoon can be just as difficult as planning the wedding itself, but it's also got to be up there with one of the best parts of the whole thing too. Kicking back and relaxing after a year or so of intense preparation is going to be pretty blissful, but how do you make sure you get your choice of honeymoon destination right?
