Fathers and daughters. A very special bond that is highlighted in these great wedding images. Having a good photographer vs. a great photographer is the difference between just having wedding pictures or having cherished memories captured in a photograph. Above are a few examples pulled from one of our favorite blogs www.stylemepretty.com.

Hands are very expressive. We take someone’s hand to introduce ourselves, show affection or even give strength. There are many times that the moments we share with another include the intertwining of fingers. Photos are a great way to capture that moment or feeling. Give your photographer examples of images you like and let your photographer find that special moment to capture during your time together. Above are a few examples pulled from one of our favorite blogs www.stylemepretty.com.

Mothers and Daughters. Sometimes through the wedding planning, the relationship between mother and daughter can become strained or stressful, but when the wedding starts, that conflict usually fades away. Take time to cherish and honor your mother on your special day  with some alone time with your mother. Above are a few examples pulled from one of our favorite blogs www.stylemepretty.com.

Going back to your roots. Many brides and grooms want to bring their own culture into their wedding. It is usually a melding of more than one culture or religion, so how do you combined more than one culture into a wedding? Select aspects of the wedding for your culture or religion that are must haves and work those into a more modern or traditional ceremony. By giving touches of both cultures, you can give friends a snapshot of your culture and give your families the traditions they want. Above are a few examples pulled from one of our favorite blogs, www.stylemepretty.com.

Why should the brides get to have all of the fun? Personalizing the flowers for the tables and bride are always a focus, but what about the groom? Taking into account the theme or style of the wedding and/or personality of the groom, you can come up with fun and interesting Boutonnière. By thinking outside the box and using different materials and techniques, the groom’s boutonnière can be a show stopper too. Above are a few examples pulled from one of our favorite blogs www.stylemepretty.com.

The bouquet has been a great place for brides to add a fun flair by including crystals and brooches to their flowers, but these bouquets have gone a new direction. By adding family heirlooms or personal touches, the bouquet allows you to honor a past or present  family member that is special to you. Dog tags from a parent, a pocket watch from grandpa or even a family rosary is a great way to include that special person into your wedding. By telling your photographer about these subtle details, you can make sure to have that memory captured. Above are a few examples pulled from one of our favorite blogs www.stylemepretty.com.

So many brides these days are growing out their hair out for the wedding, just to turn around and wear their hair up. It is time for a change. Most brides have their hair pulled up for the wedding, so there is less maintenance during the ceremony and reception.There are styles that will allow you to wear your hair down and still be maintenance free. Talk to your stylist and see what options they might have for letting your hair down. Above are a few examples pulled from one of our favorite blogs www.stylemepretty.com.

There is a great new branch of Anthropologie that focuses on unique brides and their needs. Below is a little blurb from their website that talks about who they are and why you should check them out at www.bhldn.com. Photos by  BHLDN.

We want, more than anything, to help a woman create an event that reflects her own unique perspective… to a tee. We want to give a bride that edit she’s been searching for—with heirloom-quality wedding gowns, artisanal hair adornments, footwear, and lingerie. And we want happy bridesmaids—in mix-and-match frocks with rich hues and unexpected details.

There are no checkboxes. No fill-in-the-blanks. On the contrary, we think a moment should be as layered and dimensional as the woman standing within it.

Engagement pictures should be  just that..Engaging. Take the time to work with your photographer and create a fun and unique portfolio that could not be mistaken for any other couple. Take advantage of locations, props, or accessories, in order to make a lasting memory. Above are a few examples pulled from one of our favorite blogs www.stylemepretty.com.
