Angelica Glass is one of those photographers that I wishI'd known about when we were planning our own wedding! Her style is so fresh and modern and she always makes her subjects look so flawless and model-like. Her attention to detail is beyond fabulous, there is something about the way she shoots these extreme close ups that just make everything pop! Well this post has turned into a bit of an Angelica love-fest right? What I was meaning to do was to share this new gorgeous wedding with you...the details from those sparkly blue Christian Louboutin shoes to the custom invitations, from the unique flowers to the Monique Lhuillier wearing Bride's awesome tattoos - everything is totally rock n roll fabulous, and the couple most definitely could be rock stars themselves! Oh... and the cake, and the Bridesmaid dresses, and the moustaches, and the Polaroid photo booth, and the fact the Bride is quite literally model-perfect... Smitten doesn't even cover it.

I Like Blog Stalkers!

June 24, 2009

Okey dokey I think this most be the last post for today because I appear to have gone a little overboard in the old blogging department plus I am secretly hoping the hubby will be taking me out on a date tonight! These are an amazing set to round the day off with however as I got the cutest email accompanying the submission from Bride-to-be Soila Elena, who said: Hello Kat Let me start off by saying I'm your biggest blog stalker. I recently had my bridal session done with the coolest Angela D Photography- I told her what I wanted and showed her some of your posts and we went to work- I'll be married soon and so I asked her not to post any with my face and she did a great job! I hope you like them -because I loved them and it was because of you, so thank you very much. Now come on, am I gonna really say no to that!? See you all tomorrow you gorgeous creatures, and if you're in California, be sure to enter the Tinywater Photography contest!

Nautical But Nice

Kat

June 24, 2009

Canadian photographer Tara McMullen told me all about this gorgeous day: Keira + Joe were married on June 13, 2009 on Algonquin Island in downtown Toronto, Ontario. The special part about the Island is that it is car-free and inhabited by just a small group of "Islanders" who live in the fewer then 300 homes on the Island. This is pretty remarkable considering it is located just a 15-minute ferry ride from the very busy downtown area of Toronto. It is a very intimate community :: an intimacy that was reflected in Keira + Joe's day - everyone felt like a friend by the end of the night. The ceremony and reception took place at the Queen City Yacht Club where Joe races boats in his spare time. A DIY-bride, Keira strove to save where she could - including creating her own centre pieces using potted plants. Every person wishing to attend the wedding was brought across Lake Ontario by a ferry that dropped them just outside the Club. The ceremony was held on the lawn, overlooking the Toronto skyline - it was stunning. The attention to detail was remarkable - the theme nautical. Their place cards were boating flags, and old fishermen figurines stood guard over the fruit trays during the cocktail reception. And it wasn't cheesy at all -- not an easy feat with a nautical/boating theme! One of my favourite parts was the kissing game during dinner. Guests were asked to create Haiku poems which were then read to the crowd. A poem earned a kiss. A memorable keepsake for the couple, and many good laughs were had over some of the poems! Keira's dress is an Alfred Sung, which she purchased from the The Bride's Project. The Bride's Project collects donated dresses from designers and sells them on behalf of several cancer charities. In Keira's words, "I got lucky, saw it as it was being delivered, and snatched it." :) What a stunning dress, and helps charity, too - amazing! Thanks so much to Tara for sending me these gorgeous images afor sharing all these great details!

A Seriously Amazing Wedding!

So you thought their Jess & Dana's engagement's were amazing right? Well check their wedding out. Ahhhh I am in love and lust all at the same time! The Groom's crazy cool suit was made from a vintage pattern and the couple said they were going for "a mix-mash of styles with a vintage feel" which I have to say totally works. Why on Earth do you have to stick on one theme?! The Bride didn't wear a wedding dress, she picked it up from her favourite shop in Australia. A ridiculously huge thank you to photographer/videographer extraordinaire Hailey Bartholonew of You Can't Be Serious. I am forever if your wedding debt!

Utterly Sweet Weddings

Kat

I have a couple of gorgeous sets from Sweet Monday Photography to share with you today, starting with the stunning, rustic wedding of Naama & Greg. What drew me to this wedding straight away was Naama's beautifully simple and cute dress but what kept me going through all the photographs was all the gorgeous little details they put into their day. The couple were married at Heritage Square Museum in Los Angeles and Neema got her dress from Ebay, oh yes! It was a real family affair with all the flowers coming from her Mum's garden and her sister Melissa makingall the stationary. The couple also put all the favours and table numbers together themselves. The result is a completely gorgeous DIY soiree!

I Actually Squealed With Excitement…

Kat

June 22, 2009

Ever since Tim & Merrill's engagements, I have been waiting with bated breath for what feels like a lifetime for this wedding to happen and the photographs to be shared! Not only is Mark Brooke a photographer I simply adore, but the Groom is photographer Tim Melideo so I just knew the results would be nothing less than spectacular. I am quite frankly anything but disappointed! In fact I love these so much I could actually squeal. Tim & Merrill have got some style that deserves some serious envy. The boys are rocking their same look different tie thing and the girls just look ridiculously gorgeous in their pink dress/bright flowers combo.
