Snippet & Ink and Oh So Beautiful Paper

Jennifer & JC's Beaulieu Gardens wedding was featured recently on the blogs Snippet & Ink and Oh So Beautiful Paper.  The invitations were created by Lisa Wong Jackson of Good On Paper who did such a great job incorporating the sunflower motif and cooking herbs into the designs. The different elements of the day reflected themes of Southern France and cooking (favorites of the bride and groom).  

The fabulous flowers were by Nancy Liu Chin who managed to keep the flowers alive and looking beautiful in 103 degree temperatures!  The amazing design of the day was by Gloria Wong; the impeccable planning was directed by the oh-so-talented Jubilee Lau; and the delectable food by none other than Paula LeDuc. Quite an amazing team of creative talent!

We're excited that the cool blog Rock n' Roll Bride featured one of our favorite weddings today. The rockstar couple, Susan & Scheffer, held their festivities on a private property outside of the town of Mariposa (on the way to Yosemite)... All diy and all fun - we loved this wedding! Susan is a lead singer in the group The Gun and Doll Show - check them out at the Great American Music Hall, July 11th.

A little Valentines day blog from Snippet & Ink!!

We were so happy to hear that Kathryn at the truly inspirational blog, Snippet & Ink,  was posting our photographs from one of our favorite weddings in Tennessee.... on Valentines day!!  The photos posted are from the amazing rehearsal dinner the night before at the Olde Barn in Bristol (which actually straddles Tennessee and Virginia , so it's in two states at once:) You should really check it out, the details are amazing - the bride and groom, Sharon and Francis, planned an incredible evening complete with a true Southern bbq, homemade ice cream, strawberry shortcake, a pinata, and finished the evening off with a huge bonfire for the guests to roast marshmallows for the delicious smores!   Oh.. and there was also a real stuffed black bear- we're not sure if that was intentional, but it sure made for some funny pictures with the guests....  Take a peak, you'll get inspired!

The Bride's Cafe

If you love the photograph with the bride and groom kissing on the cool red bike (and you voted for it - see "Vote for Us" below) then check out today's segment on The Bride's Cafe. Ulrica & Craig's wedding is featured in a two part series.  

One of our favorite weddings ever  (how can it not be when you get to go to Sweden to photograph!)  We had the most amazing time in Sweden and couldn't have enjoyed hanging out with (and photographing) Ulrica and Craig more.  We were flattered when Ulrica asked us to be her photographers since she has a great photography eye herself (check out her website, Axel and Moa) and as a Wedding Editor for People Magazine she's familiar with a lot of the top photographers in the country.  Their wedding was simple, clever, and beautiful - which makes our job very easy!  

Thank you too, Janie, for featuring it on The Bride's Cafe, such a great site!

Snippet & Ink

One of our weddings was featured on the site Snippet & Ink last week for her "Real Wedding Saturday" posting.  It was a great wedding that we shot up in Mendocino in September of last year.  The bride & groom, Jennifer and John, traveled from New York for their event.  We loved the fact that they did a lot of it themselves, or with the help of their friends - little touches like the flower arrangements in the old tea tins, the bright orange and yellow carnations for the escort cards, the advent calender that lead up to the wedding day with kind wishes for Jennifer & John.... it was all very clever.  

Everything was within walking distance or bike riding distance so the guests could stroll from their rooms down to the cliffs for the ceremony, up the street to a private property for cocktails and dinner,  and down the lane by candlelight for swing dancing at the local hall.  It was a great weekend! Thank you to Kathryn at Snippet & Ink for featuring our work and for having such a beautiful website with really great ideas.
