Okay, call me cliché but I really do love the fall. It’s sweater season (in theory… in reality it’s been 80 all week, but go with me here) the apples are at their best, the leaves are turning and the holidays are about to begin.
Fall is a time for savoring rich flavors, rich experiences, and gorgeous rich colors like the ones above.
Stephanie, an art teacher, and her fiancé Alosha really wanted their engagement shots to represent who they are as a couple, and what better idea for this creative pair than to stage a painting party?

I can barely look away from these beautiful shots. The lighting, the colors… and that puppy? He (Hurley is his name) has my heart.
Ariel and Vanessa are getting married in Puerto Rico later this year, and their super talented photographer, Kimberly Chau, will be going along. If these shots are any indication, I’m sure it will be amazing!

This one is really special. I’m not sure if it’s the rustic DIY detail, the impossibly perfect, sweet Tennessee venue… or just that horse (I love that horse). This one takes my breath away.
I had to reach out to the bride to hear more…
How did you choose your venue… did it have any special significance?
We didn’t want the typical wedding venue. We wanted something unique and country. My husband was from the north so we wanted to show his friends and family a southern good time when they came down, so we wanted the theme to be country chic. We finally found a venue that fit that theme.
What other special details did you incorporate into your day?
We made the last minute decision to walk down the aisle in cowboy boots which was a nice special detail I don’t regret. My matron of honor wrote us a poem of our love story that we had displayed at our wedding.
What was your favorite part of the day?
I think my favorite part of the day was taking pictures with Chuck… spending a couple of hours before the wedding just goofing off and being ourselves really calmed our nerves down for the actual ceremony.
Any advice for other brides?
Get a good photographer. The day goes by so fast and all you’ll have left is the pictures so spend the extra research time and money in getting a good photographer
I couldn’t agree more! Thank you so much, Ginger, for taking the time to answer my questions, and to your fabulous photographer for sharing these shots.

What a weekend… I’m still recovering!
Our trip was even better than expected, with great weather, amazing sunrises, fresh air, and views. There is nothing better. But I have to admit… all of that cold has me craving the heat, and this beautiful celebration is just the fix.
Brendan and Joanna’s intimate wedding is full of gorgeous vintage touches and plenty of sun — enough to warm even the coldest of days.
Not to mention one of the prettiest bouquets I’ve ever seen.
