Wedding Wednesday : Holly + Mark {Sneak Peek}

I had the honor of photographing Holly and Mark's wedding this past weekend...and let me tell you all, it was pretty amazing.  If you remember their engagement session, then you can just imagine how much detail was put into their wedding day!  I am sharing just one image (for now) that I feel sums up the love that these two have for each other.

Holly and Mark, enjoy your well deserved honeymoon, and I hope you are having an amazing time as husband and wife!

Wedding Wednesday {Coco + James Wedding // Short Film}

On this Wedding Wednesday, my dear friend Lauren of "Look So Lovely" (be sure to check out her blog!) sent me a wedding video (short film) that she came across on one of her fashion blogs and she totally fell in love with it, and I can see why!  'It is the wedding of Model, Coco Rocha and her new hubby, James Conran on June 9th 2010 in the Loire valley of France'.  Instant swoon!  Everything about this wedding is magical.  The location, the details, the flowers, her dress...ahh, her Zac Posen dress is to die for!  I laughed, I smiled and I teared up watching this video.  The love felt throughout this wedding is beautiful...It makes me want to get married all over again :)

"When you laugh I will laugh...and when you cry I will cry..."

part of the grooms vows.

Wedding Wednesday {Little Bit of Inspiration} We Heart It

"We Heart It" is a website that I have fallen in love with...you can 'heart' images from that website and images that you see on other websites.  It's very similar to Pinterest.  If you haven't checked out either one of these sites, don't...just kidding lol...they can become very addicting lol!! 

Here are a few images that jump out at me.  These are things that I love.  And they make me happy.

This is a great website for all you future brides out there...lots of great inspiration!!

I just can't get enough of birdcages!
