Joey and Nicole - Smog Shoppe Wedding

Tue, 21 May 2013 09:37:50 -0700

We can't wait to share this awesome wedding with you guys! You might remember these two from their engagement shoot we shared on our blog. Joey and Nicole are obsessed with all things music and share in a mutual love for collecting records. In fact, I think they have one of the largest record collections I have ever heard of! These two wanted their wedding to reflect their love for one another and their passion for music and I think they pulled it off magically! There were so many incredible details throughout the day and a large part goes to the amazing vendors they chose for their special day. Among them was Courtney from LVL Events, Flower design by Primary Petals, amazing catering by Eco Caterers, and all the yummy baked deliciousness that Sweet and Saucy brings to the day. Also thanks to Green Wedding Shoes for featuring us on your blog!! Hope you guys all enjoy the photos!

We are so thrilled to share Greg and Sarah's amazing Nantucket wedding with you all today. This was our first time to the Island and from the moment our plane landed we knew we were in for quite a treat! Its like your walking through Herman Melville's novel Moby Dick. Probably because a majority of the houses that were built back during the time he was writing the novel are still being used today. With a rich background in American history, beautiful scenery and a warm home town feeling, Kristin and I immediately feel in love with this quaint, magical little Island. Throw in an incredibly sweet couple and a gorgeous wedding, I dont think it gets any better!! We want to thank Greg and Sarah for sharing your special day with us. We felt so blessed to be a part of all the celebration! Also a special thanks to Nicole from Unique Nantucket for being so awesome and helpful throughout the entire process. You are the best!

Tim and Liz

Fri, 10 Aug 2012 08:37:42 -0700

Meet Tim and Liz! An international couple of sorts. Tim originally from Vancouver and Liz from San Diego met unexpectedly while on the same business trip in Europe. What a place to fall in love, right? Tim and Liz had a specific vision for their engagement shoot and wanted to have their story documented in both of their home cities so we recommended one of Vancouver's finest for the first half. See Mikaela Ruth's images from their shoot up in Canada. We had a great day in beautiful sunny southern CA with some incredible light and were so thrilled with the way they turned out. Tim and Liz we are so excited for your wedding in October! Hope you enjoy!
