{Styled Shoot} A Country Styled Wedding

Simplicity can be quite elegant, as seen in this beautiful styled shoot we are featuring today from JoPhoto.  I love everything you are about to see, including the fun paper boutonniere, the bride's simple and sweet gown, which works perfectly for the lovely setting, and the random decor pieces seen throughout.

Kathleen, the photographer, describes a bit about the shoot:

This is a Tennessee farm vintage styled shoot with wildflower centerpieces in mason jars, an amazing white mantle that fit in perfectly on the farm with wooden pews, a field full of queen ann's lace, and a DIY paper boutonniere. The table runner was also hand-made from pages of vintage books from the 1950s. Grab a cold glass of sweet tea in a mason jar, kick your heels up, and enjoy our Tennessee farm styled wedding shoot!

I'm grabbing my glass of sweetened iced tea, are you? Please enjoy this country styled wedding shoot, captured by JoPhoto:

{Real Couples} Courtney & Robbie's Long Hunter State Park E-Shoot

Today's breathtaking engagement shoot comes to us from The Collection.  The lighting captured, the beauty of the natural landscape, and the smitten lovebirds just has us in awe and swooning. 

Erin, the photographer, shared a note with us about the lovely couple:

Courtney & Robbie love the outdoors. Their wedding is centered around a tree theme.. Because of this we decided to go to a state park and take photographs in an environment that they love. The trees were just starting to change and the light that day was a photographer's dream. We happened about the cliff over the lake and couldn't resist taking photographs on it. Courtney is one tough cookie. She wanted to wear heels during the session and was a trouper and walked all through the woods in them. I loved the juxtaposition of their dress clothes and the rustic park.

{Bridal Portrait} Lakefront Vision

I am just going to get right to it today...this bridal portrait session, by Studio Eleven Photography, is gorgeous, artistic, and charming!  We have featured many a bridal portrait session from Robyn at Studio Eleven, and goodness does she capture the lighting so amazingly every time.  I see why these beautiful brides go to her for their bridal portraits.  

Robyn shared with us a bit about the session:

Julie's gorgeous bridal shoot took place in a state park overlooking a lake in south Texas. The mid-February day was perfectly sunny with blue skies. The location gave us several different looks within the one portrait session and was a stunning backdrop to the bride's natural beauty. Combining simple and classic looks with fashion posing gave us even more variety with our images and the bride absolutely rocked each and every pose.

{Real Weddings} Mary & Brad's Amazing Travel Themed Wedding

If there is one thing you might, or might not, know about me, is I LOVE to travel.  I have lived abroad, traveled around Europe, visited Tokyo for a week just because, hopped around the Caribbean, spent much time in Mexico, and have seen many states.  My own wedding had a bit of a travel theme, focused on Provence France.  The table numbers were cities throughout Provence and we provided luggage tag favors for all of our guests.  

This wedding we are featuring today, submitted to us by At Last Wedding + Event Design, goes above and beyond amazing with a travel theme! There are so many fun details & elements, it makes me want to go back to my wedding and tweak some things-including making my own little luggage bags, as you will see here below.  

Mary & Brad are avid travelers and have seen much of the world together.  So, it makes complete sense to throw a travel themed affair.  Each table has a certain country theme to it, and their guestbook was a giant map of the world with photos of the couple together in each place they had visited together; guests signed at 

different spots on the map.  They even had a "baggage claim" area for guests to pick up mini suit cases filled with candy-BRILLIANT!

{Real Weddings} Margot & Michael's Rustic Ranch Style Wedding

There's a few words to describe this wedding: beautiful, charming, elegant, rustic, whimsical, classy.  When Christy Hendrick of Simply Bliss Photography submitted this wedding, my jaw dropped.  It's full of that rustic charm I love ever so much, with a ton of class and elegance.  What's more, the entire bridal party, bride's side, is wearing boots with their fabulous dresses! Oh, and one more thing, we cannot forget to mention the most adorable pups as well-I must add a pug to my family to play with my puggle!

I'll stop gushing over this wedding, and let you get to enjoying Margot & Michael's Rustic Ranch Style Wedding, beautifully photographed by Simply Bliss Photography:
