Playful Tokyo Engagement Session

What a fun idea for an engagement shoot! This couple loves to travel, and they wanted these photos from Ivan Tan Photography to reflect a new adventure, so off they set to Tokyo, Japan, to capture their absolute delight at being newly engaged. These are such adorable images of a precious couple!

Navy + White Lodge Wedding

There is something so sophisticated about a color palette of navy and white — but we’ve fallen for more than just the dramatic hues of Emily and Zach’s wedding outside of Boise, Idaho! Take the fashion, for instance. Emily’s Casablanca Bridal has the most stunning sweetheart neckline, and the bridesmaids dresses — a variety of short sheaths in the same navy blue — are the perfect complement to the all-white bouquets by Boise At Its Best that the ladies carried. Emily and Zach exchanged vows in a traditional Jewish ceremony, beneath a gorgeous chuppah built of branches and dripping with white orchids and hydrangea. Beautiful floral design continued at their reception at Shore Lodge, where a mix of high and low white arrangements topped tables covered in crinkled blue linens. These photos by Ampersand Studios show every detail, including the writing on the couple’s wedding cake. Do you recognize the words? They are the lyrics to Etta James’ classic “At Last.” Amazing!

Fly Away: 10 Ultimate Honeymoon Destinations

Honeymoon IdeasThis week has been Christmas, my birthday, and summer vacation all rolled into one! I’m positively giddy to announce that on Monday, I launched my brand-sparkly-new travel site Entouriste!

Of course, I’m a sucker for beautiful weddings, but I’m also a wanderer at heart, and Entouriste combines my passion for traveling with my love of beautiful photography. Whether it is the southern charm of Charleston or the beautiful beaches in Bali, each day Entouriste will showcase the boundless beauty of the world’s destinations! The site is visually focused and highly searchable (and pinnable!)—images and articles are categorized by destination, season, vacation type and more. If you are a wanderluster, I’d be so thrilled for you to take a peek!

To celebrate the launch of Entouriste, here are 10 ultimate honeymoon destinations both near and far. Click through for all of the details!

Breathtaking Greece Destination Wedding

A fabulous destination wedding in Greece? Yes, please! Milena and John chose possibly one of the most breathtaking places in the world—Santorini—for their affair. These images from Vangelis Photography make us feel like we’re there celebrating with Milena and John—and oh how we wish we were! Because the couple lives stateside, Santorini Wedding Planners helped them pull together everything for the traditional ceremony at Anastasi Church and reception at the waterfront La Maltese Estate Villa. Milena’s Pronovias gown is sheer perfection, with plenty of old-world style and lace details. This is such a fairytale wedding!
