Today is such a fun day for me because I get to show off my very first designed shoot!  I was so thrilled when Sara Gray asked me to create a shoot for her latest MarryThis! wedding guide, and immediately enlisted the amazing Kelly Marie Uss of Fleur to join in to help me style a romantic summer wedding shoot, full of vibrant colors …

Betsy and Hunter’s wedding is easily one of my favorites of all.  Not only is Betsy a long-time blog friend (she writes the Sweet as a Peach blog and is one of EAD’s most loyal readers), but her wedding is classic, sweet, romantic, and has lovely Southern touches.  An amazing team of DC-area wedding vendors contributed to the day – …

There is just so much pretty in this shoot, I’m over the moon! Kelly Maron Horvath of Paper Stories, Lauren LePine of Ryan Alexander Events, Lynn Fossbender of Pollen, Stevi Savage of AveryHouse, and Shannon Spellman of Plate have dazzled me with their interpretation of glitz and glam for the Inspired Creations Contest, it’s an absolute wonderland of handmade charm.  Mercury glass …

I love coffee.  And weddings.  And did I mention coffee?  Bethany and Andrew’s charming Phoenix wedding combines both!  Held at Inside the Bungalow, an adorable coffee shop turned wedding venue, there’s a slightly Alice in Wonderland feel with coffee cups, painted murals and tea tins.  I love the intimate feel of the venue, and Bethany and Andrew created a lovely …

Chicago’s Salvage One is such a fun space for a wedding – I love the juxtaposition of elegant chandeliers and modern raw space.  Julia and Shaun’s wedding made use of the fabulous interior with a fresh yellow and gray color palette, centerpieces of vintage books and collected vases, and a guest book displaying photos throughout their courtship.   Julia is a pastry chef – she created …

The last vestiges of snow are finally melting away in Chicago, but that doesn’t mean that I’m tired of beautiful, snowy winter quite yet.  In fact, I’m literally over the moon for this elegant wintry tabletop, with cozy details like cable knit napkin rings and an Alençon lace table runner, and lush arrangements of ivory hydrangea, dusty miller, and anemones.  …

Jacelyn’s wedding this September has a palette of slate gray/blue, dusty plum, dusty rose and ivory.  And, since she and her fiance are both book lovers, they are incorporating books into their wedding.  Jacelyn, your elegant color palette screams romance to me, so I incorporated lots of ruffles and pleats into your board, as well as lovely letterpressed invitations and …

Good morning everyone and a big huge welcome to those of you who are recently engaged and just beginning your wedding planning! I have such a fun wedding to share with you today! Tori and Aaron’s whimsical affair is the perfect pick-me-up on this cold January morning – it’s filled with lovely DIY details. Tori (a photographer herself) chose one …

What better way to announce the launch of the Richmond wedding guide (run over and meet EAD’s two wonderful Richmond brides-to-be, Meredith, and Rachel – their first posts were just published!) than with a stunning Richmond wedding from one of my favorite ladies, Courtney from Merriment Events!  Courtney is not only a wonderful person who I’m proud to call a …

Gray is one of my absolute favorite wedding colors, and when paired with a sunny yellow and a gorgeous loft venue like Portland’s Venue Pearl, it just screams fun and modern! Morgan and Brandon’s July wedding really played up the hip, urban qualities of Venue Pearl and Sara Gray was there to capture all of the details of the …

I love it when I see weddings that I know will still be beautiful in ten years, twenty years, fifty years… Laura and AJ’s wedding is one of those that has a timeless quality to me – not only due to the gorgeous details, but also because of the beautiful images that were captured by one of my favorite …

Kayla and Newton are just one of the cutest couples ever, aren’t they?  Their Athens wedding at The Foundry Park Inn & Spa is full of love and laughter, and fabulous photos from two of my favorite people, Matt and Kate Altmix!  The day started out with the couple having a first look at a spot near the reception venue.
