Hello Hello!!!

It's wedding bell time
I know this is a large one, but there's so much good out there.

PHOTOGRAPHERS

Troy Grover

We had the opportunity to ask this pretty lady about her experience with engagement photos and here's what she had to say...

"For our engagement shoot Brian and I had our brother-in-law TroyGrover.com do our engagement photos. We knew him well, we liked his work… and we felt really comfortable with him. We chose him because we knew we would be able to improvise, pose ourselves, and bring fun elements into the photographs to make them unique to us. I would say most people like to be told where to look, what to do, etc. And it really helps when a photographer does that and gives direction… especially if you don't feel very comfortable in front of a camera. We did have a vision for our engagement photographs… we wanted them to be fun, colorful, urban, and artistic yet natural. We had a fun time picking out outfits, thinking about silly props, incorporating my dads old mustang, and practicing facial expressions. haha. The shoot lasted for a little over an hour."

Funny enough, the bride-to-be is also a photographer...the next section (3photos) is her work.

Julie Cope

I couldn't pick just three favorites when it came to Julie's photography. This last one is just so darn cute!

I love the moments she decides to frame.

About 95.9% of the time I want to vomit when I see a wedding invitations. They are always too smothered in goop and frills and blah. I hope to God that one day I get a client who says they want a non-traditional wedding invitation and actually mean it. I would do it post card style (oversized) and on one side design an image of the city where the wedding is or some illustration that describes the couple perfectly and on the back (with very clean beautiful type) have all the necessary information. I think it'll be fun...It looks great in my head.

Advice: Don't just look at stuff catagorized under "wedding" when going through photographers, accessories and invitations. Sometimes (not always) that stuff is stuffy and ugly.

ACCESSORIES

I heart these two Ban.do wedding headbands.

Yellow Goat

The other day I fell in love with Yellow Goat!
This is her site
This is her blog
This is her etsy

I love all of her Jewelry! I bet if you found a designer, contacted her with enough time and had the money you could get Jewelry Designer to custom design your accessories and maybe even design your wedding bands! How awesome would that be?

I can not stress how great etsy is.

good luck Bridezillas
