in fairness, our shooting poses/faces are rarely (never) this exciting.  but we try, and that's what counts.  and also- these clothes are like our wedding uniforms.  so you might have seen us at a wedding wearing these already this year.  maybe like 20 weddings.  don't judge us.   xoxo

ps- jack is dying that i'm posting this...but i can't help myself, it's just too funny!!

 please head over to 100 layer cake to see the full list of amazing wedding creatives and more details (including a lemonade table that is to die for!)  xoxo

these two creative lovebirds wanted their engagement photos to have a cinematic feel, with some drama, some sexy and a vintage vibe.  this is a faux sneak peek, because in reality i know i have too much on my plate right now (and until december) to make a full post out of their amazing photos,  but i just couldn't stop myself from putting these two up right away!  hope you love!  xoxo 

 the amazing jaimi at fiore beauty is responsible for elizabeth's vamped hair and makeup, and did an amazing job as always.  

see more on the always lovely style me pretty along with a full list of vendors (and a few colorful and fun shots from the henna ceremony they had the night before!)

the fabulous jen from green wedding shoes made an inspiration board a ways back based on the movie '500 days of summer'.  it was darling and inspiring, and serendipity magazine jumped on it and asked a team of wedding magicians to put together a shoot for their summer issue.  there's lots of controversy amongst the bloggers/blog readers about these sorts of shoots.  my thoughts: who cares?  as long as full disclosure is given that this isn't a real wedding, i think it's just another source of ideas for brides/grooms to-be and a great creative outlet for wedding talent.  it was tons of fun for me to photograph a couple styled to perfection with none of the constraints that a wedding day brings.  and the stylists/design talent that put together everything else got to do so without having anyone but themselves to please....what could possibly be bad about that?!  complete creative freedom without the pressure of a wedding day equals FUN! here's what we came up with.... (by the way, although this couple is gorgeous, they are not professional models, nor are they an actual couple....that makes me especially proud of them for doing such an incredible job as our "models").  enjoy!  xoxo

there are so many more photos on green wedding shoes here and here.  and here's a list of the talent involved (and there was a lot!) behind this fun and sweet shoot......
