Life. Love. Lipstick.

I love grey with nearly any color you can think of.  Grey IS the new black, at least for me!  It has all but replaced black in my wardrobe.  I envision a grey and white wedding with all shades of orange for a little color.  I really like the modern feel of this board, inspired by the sunset image by Susan Stripling.  I could see this wedding taking place in a seaside tent in the summer.

Apache Wedding Blessing:

Now you will feel no rain,

For each of you will be shelter to the other.

Now you will feel no cold,

For each of you will be warmth to the other.

Now there is no loneliness for you,

For though you are two bodies,

You are only one life.

Go now to your dwelling place,

To enter into the days of your togetherness.

May your days be good and long upon this earth.

Oh, how I love me some ring shots.  I’ve come to realize that I pretty much like 2 types…

Quirky-

And downright beautiful art, suitable to hang as a huge canvas above the mantel-

And this, my friends, is my absolute favorite one to date… both witty AND beautiful art-

Somewhere between invitations and wedding cake, floral arrangements and favors, engagement rings and champagne toasts, lies the reason for it all… The ceremony. Too often, couples lose sight of what the wedding day is all about… the joining of two people. Even when a bride or groom is excited about the ceremony itself, they don’t usually give it much attention in the planning. However, in the end, the photos speak for themselves.

A good photographer captures emotion in a way that takes you back to that day. I absolutely love ceremony photos…he looks on the faces of the bride and groom, the tears of the guests. I didn’t attend these weddings, but I can still feel the powerful emotions, and I love that.
