Vintage, country style photo shoot-reddux

Posted by on January 9, 2012 · Leave a Comment 

Everyday, I fall head over heals in love with a new wedding photographer.

Married couples: take cue from this gorgeous husband and wife, Kellie and Chris Walters.
Five years ago, when they first said “I do,” a dreamy photo shoot could not be worked into their budget.
However, after seeing the phenomenal work of Anna Cunningham of Sweet Hope Photography, they decided to revisit their special day and have no regrets.

Their vintage/country inspired photo shoot (reddux) looked like an absolute blast and could not have turned out more lovely!

It included horses, dogs, hydrangeas, lace, vintage cameras, butterflies, lamps, a tractor and more…

No captions necessary- SWOON AWAY!

Real Wedding in Tulare, CA-Jillian+Timothy

Posted by on November 15, 2011 · 1 Comment 

This one of a kind wedding, photographed by the great Rochelle Mort, is full of delightful details that are sure to make your jaw drop.

As you can see, Jillian and Timothy (aka. Boomer) are a beautiful couple!
After glancing through their photos, you know that they enjoyed every second of their special day.  I also loved every moment of viewing this magical wedding.

I want to start by showcasing the incredible fashion!  The bride looked timeless in a Marisa gown with a sweetheart neckline and floral sash.
To incorporate some sass, Jillian wore a pair of mustard colored peep toe pumps with shimmering gray fabric flowers.  SO SWEET!

In their stylish statement necklaces, dresses from Lula Kate, gray satin heels, etc,  Jillian’s bridesmaids looked ultra chic.  You can tell that they were excited to be part of occasion (and who wouldn’t be when you can look that fabulous?).

I am convinced there was a celebrity stylist on board putting all of these darling and cohesive ensembles together.
I also wonder if these precious kids have agents yet…they are ridiculously cute!

When it came to selecting the perfect location, the couple searched up and down the state of California, but ultimately there was no place like home.
They agreed that having the wedding at the bride’s family estate and farm in Tulare would make the occasion even more special.

“I love the fact that every time I go home I will remember one of the most special days of my life,” said Jillian.

I am certain that their 300 wedding guests gushed about the spectacular venue. What a dreamy looking cocktail hour?

The incredibly unique and personalized touches that were part of this occasion blew me away.

Some of my favorites include; the “Boomerang” and “Jillybean” signature cocktails; a hanging display of various men’s ties used as seating cards, a sweet table that had personalized doughnuts and other treats, a late night “Taco Riendo” stand, and an incredible floating picture wall along the back of the head table featuring vintage family photographs in black and white.

According to Jillian, “Having grown up on a dairy farm, I knew from the beginning that I wanted my wedding to have a rustic feel.  It was also important to me to keep the elegance factor incorporated as much as possible.”

“I kept telling my mom that I wanted a barn meets chandelier style,” she added. 
Mission Accomplished!

Jillian knew she was in great hands with the help of her mother, who she admires for always getting things done.
“From sewing the table runners to collecting mix-matched silverware through ebay auctions, she did it all.” she said.

The bride also credited her trusty wedding coordinator, Tanya Fulghum of Soiree Event Designs & Couture Floral for helping to execute the wedding of her dreams.
From the get go, Tanya understood her style and put Jillian at ease throughout the whole planning process.

The reception was not only stunning, it was an absolute blast!

It was extremely important to Jillian that they selected an AMAZING band to keep guests on the dance floor.  The James Gang of West Coast Music did just that.

“I have to say that in all my years of shooting weddings I have never seen guests having so much fun,” said photographer Rochelle Mort.

“Besides walking down the aisle to my future husband, the most memorable part of the day was coming into the reception tent after being announced for the first time as Mr. and Mrs. Murray,” said Jillian.

“It was amazing to look around and see the faces of so many people who have been a part of our lives in different ways, all in one place, and for one reason: to celebrate with us! I felt excited, loved, happy, and most of all, blessed.”

Notice how many creative elements that unconventionally mimic the floral form including; the brooch bouquet by Fantasy Floral, the 3D frosted flowers on the Sweet and Saucy cake and the silk rose tablecloth and chair backs from Wildflower Linens.  SWEET!

With Becca Rillo behind the lens, every detail pops revealing the multiple textures and depths in every scene.

There’s a fantastic blend of dramatic and whimsical image styles in the set.

Wedding at the Ringling Mansion in Sarasota: Jackie + Tim

Posted by on September 26, 2011 · 4 Comments 

proposal and engagement

Jackie and Tim both work as Prosecutors in New York, but the Attorneys did not cross paths in the big apple In August 2008, the two attended the same training session in Columbia, SC and shared immediate sparks.

Luckily, living in the same city meant that their romance could continue to blossom when the session was complete.

At the end of 2009, Jackie returned to the same training facility where she met the love of her life.  She knew this session could not be as special as the first, but Jackie was wrong.  On the final night of training, Tim flew to Columbia and staged a surprise proposal with the help of the facility and some colleagues.

“It was incredibly romantic and very sweet,” recalls Jackie.

When K and K Photography sent me Jackie and Tim’s wedding photos, my jaw hit the ground.  Every single image was (and is) truly spectacular!  It looks like one of those remarkable events that you pray to get invited to.

I fell even more in love with this wedding after speaking with the bride. “I wanted everything about the wedding to be personal or meaningful in some way,” said Jackie. Jackie grew up in the Sarasota Florida area where, coincidentally, Tim’s family owned a vacation condo.  The couple knew Sarasota was the perfect destination for their October nuptials.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Jackie and Tim also shared fond childhood memories of attending the Ringling Bros and Barnum & Bailey’s Circus and the Ringling Museum of Art with their families. They couldn’t have dreamed up a more stunning venue than the historic Ca’d'Zan Mansion, a glamorous estate built by John and Mable Ringling in the 1920s.

The colorful mansion, nestled along the water, helped to inspire many of the other wedding details. Everything came together with the help of Coordinator Beth Carrick of Flawless Occasions.

Jackie looked absolutely radiant in her layered Vera Wang wedding gown with a floral belt.

The venue had no shortage of dreamy settings for taking pictures…

This next image, in particular, is screaming to be framed on the couple’s wall.

Dressed in stylish blue Jenny Yoo dresses, the bridal party looked fabulous.  You can tell by all the smiles and facial expressions that they were all ecstatic to be part of Jackie and Tim’s special day.

Have you ever seen such beautiful clowns?!?  

After planning an outdoor ceremony and reception, Jackie was so thankful that “The weather was absolutely beautiful (not a cloud in the sky), and the temperature was perfect.  The sunset over the water during the ceremony and cocktail hour was amazing,”  she said.

The couple incorporated many creative vintage circus elements into their wedding, including;

  • Vintage Circus Lettering on signs and invitations
  • Guest welcome bags full of vintage circus candy
  • Escort Cards in Giraffe or elephant silhouettes
  • A photo booth full of fun circus props
  • A cotton candy machine during dessert
  • Round red clown noses for fun photo-ops
  • Custom trapeze and ringmaster cake topper featuring the bride and groom

Side note: That cake topper is off the charts! It was handmade by the talented Kate Chilko, a friend of the bride and groom.
Visit katechilko.com or email Kate to get one of your own. 

From the below image, you can see how the beauty and style of the mansion helped inspire their complimentary color palette. Apple Blossoms Floral Design did a great job of adding some vintage flair and charm to the luscious bouquets and centerpieces.

When I asked Jackie to pick her favorite wedding memory, she said:

“I’ll never forget our first dance to Peter Gabriel’s “Book of Love.”  We had just gotten married, we were dancing on the terrace of this beautiful mansion by the water with all of our family/friends around us, on a perfect night – I really could not have imagined it any better!

To conclude Jackie and Tim’s magical celebration full of beauty, love and laughter, guests showered the newlyweds with gold streamers as they made their exit (smiling from ear to ear).

A vintage bohemian wedding shoot in NYC

Posted by on August 30, 2011 · 8 Comments 

I was completely charmed by this vintage bohemian styled wedding shoot I received from  J and J Photography.
What blew me away was the fact that these Midsummer’s Night Dream like photos were taken in the one and only New York City.

This was nothing like the typical urban wedding submission I come to expect from the city that never sleeps.

couple-outside

The unique venue, One if By Land, Two if by Sea, was once an eighteenth century carriage house and home to former Vice President Aaron Burr.
It is easy to understand why it has been called New York’s most romantic restaurant (reportedly hosting 24 proposals per week).

How beautiful are those outdoor gardens?

bride-hair

Nothing says vintage romance like a Claire Pettibone wedding dress (from Gabriella New York Bridal Salon) styled with jewelry by Untamed Petals. I adore both of the bride’s hair styles and the delicate Sara Gabriel adornments.

The talented team of vendors, coordinated by NoLimit Events LLC, took cues from the antique surroundings to put together an enchanting scene that takes you back in time.

details

I’m swooning over the lovely floral arrangements created by Deborah Hunter of  Worship Luxury Inc.
She used umbrella ferns as accents everywhere to bring the greenery of the gardens inside (genius).

Thank you to the wonderful team of vendors for sharing this delightful NYC photo shoot.

Savvy Spotlight: Hidalgo diamond insert rings

Posted by on June 17, 2011 · Leave a Comment 

I am love love LOVING the new Hidalgo diamond insert ring collection.  Fun and brilliant! As I mentioned in my post about convertible wedding dresses, versatility is always a marvelous thing.  What girl doesn’t want options?
First, choose a timeless micro pave diamond ring design, then add a diamond or enamel insert for extra pizazz.

Hidalgo insert rings (as featured above) can be purchased online at Royal Fine Jewelers and Kranich’s hidalgo insert rings

The above inserts were found on the Hidalgo Jewelry website.

These rings are truly foolproof (wedding) gifts, so start dropping hints to your new or future husband. Remind him how he can stay out of the “doghouse” by gifting you a new ring insert on your Anniversaries.    It’s a Win-Win situation!
