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

you might remember lacey and ben from their vintage train station engagement session seen here and here. today, their incredible wedding was featured on ruffled blog and you absolutely MUST go see! (here and here). it was truly one of the most unique weddings I've ever been to...the guests dressed in period attire, the trolley transported the guests from the Presidio to the ballroom where Lacey had spent the past year making sure every detail was perfection, live singing and a feeling of being transported to another decade. just plain amazing. ]]>
