Photography by Jerry and Aubrey
This is a special one. Usually, I'd have to break into a place like this to get these pictures, but we actually got full permission to do it. William had to jump through so many hoops to find the right “guy” in charge and I'm so glad that he was determined, because it was seriously one of the best spots to do engagement photography in. Now if only I was able to do a wedding shoot here!
Sorry for the secretive nature of this post, but the owners requested that we don't post their location. For you savvy local folk, I'm sure you'll know this elusive photography spot. Thanks Aubrey, for coming out to shoot with me. You did an amazing job tag teaming them with me!
We adore this save-the-date for a wedding taking place next year in Brasov, Romania!
The map features Brasov, within its city walls, and the outer area which includes Bran Castle, commonly known as “Dracula's Castle.” The castle is marketed as the home of Bram Stoker's title character in Dracula! It is now a museum commonly visited by tourists in the area. You can also see Poiana Brasov - the most popular Romanian ski resort!
It is such fun to depict architecture and landscape so different from that found in the United States!
It’s a Jaime Thing is a blog I have been following for quite some time and over the last few months Jaime and I have become blogging friends, so to speak. I reached out to her to put together some details to inspire an invitation design of mine and she came back to me with this dramatic and dark, True Blood board!

We're super excited about Shana Faust's fabulous new website! Shana's an amazing freelance stylist in New York and former senior style editor at Martha Stewart Weddings. She's also co-author and stylist of our new wedding craft book, coming Fall 2009 from Chronicle Books (behind-the-scenes pics from our recent photo shoot will be posted here soon!).
I'm so glad J.Crew is finally expanding the number of locations where brides can see the weddings and parties collection in person - and now you don't even have to go uptown! I like that they used an illustration in this email blast as opposed to a photograph - it's a refreshing change of pace from the usual glossy (albeit charming) photo and has a nice vintage feel.
Janene and Eduardo. I love love.
Well, I thought I would quick try to get out a little post on some yummy treats that might inspire you for Halloween! I meant to try and create some new cupcakes for this Halloween, but sadly all of my time got zapped up and so I thought I would show last year's cupcakes along with some new sugar cookies. Hope you enjoy!
So when the photog geniuses of Our Labor of Love sent over these pics from a recent wedding they shot, I was literally jumping up and down. This pink + grey, sweet with a little sassy, wedding is so up my alley! I adore all the lovely details and the overall vibe of this amazing event.
The bride was so gorgeous in her amazing PINK dress, black veil and grey fabric flower in her hair. And those grey nails! Perfect complement to the groom and his groomsmen in grey suits. The color palette works so well, being chic and not too sweet. Speaking of sweet, no detail was spared when it came to their dessert bars. Wow! Gorgeous job.
Athena and Pierce's wedding was a favorite of mine this year. After having done wedding photography for 100+ guests for most of the season, it was a nice change to do a wedding with less than 20 guests. Also, during the ceremony Athena and Pierce chose not to have music playing as she walked out. I've never been to a wedding where that happened, so it was a welcoming surprise. I don't know how to explain it with words exactly, but the effect was visceral and the air was pregnant with a calm tension. Awkwardness was replaced by a raw joy. I will remember it always.
It was also very memorable to me because I shot the whole wedding by myself. I don't even remember the last time I shot a wedding by myself or if I even have. I had fun pushing myself the whole day and gained a new respect for wedding photographers that go it alone all the time. There's almost no room for error. Well, here are some of the highlights from their sweet day.
One of our brides just sent over a picture of her St. Louis Cardinals seating chart from her rehearsal dinner - and we think it is so adorable!
The bride had surprised the groom with this special touch to the event! She had this to say: “Brian loved the rehearsal dinner seating chart…It was a HUGE hit!!! Lots of STL fans were there so they all thought it was the best thing ever…Brian was SO surprised.”
