Bridal Musings

The big bridal party frolicked through the desert rocks for dreamy sunset portraits then retreated to Smoke Tree for a wild party. As a Southern California wedding photographer, I am lucky enough to work at some amazing venues and cities, but photographing Palm Springs Weddings is always such a blast. Their wedding day included romantic, dreamy, and desert-inspired details—and of course—their adorable pup, Duke, who made his way into many of their wedding day portraits. Their desert wedding color palette was composed of neutrals, muted pinks and purples, making for a perfect early-sp Photographing weddings for many years, Claire Eliza knows a bit about boogying down on the dance floor.

The couple fell in love, Rachael soon joined the band, and the two bought a weekend home in Upstate New York. The day of the wedding started with drinks and food around 4:30 pm, then the ceremony at 7:30. The décor’s center was a 40×50 tent in the middle of our lawn, with the band on one side near the house, and the bar at the back end of the property. To us, the wedding wasn’t only about the big day itself, but the whole experience – a meet up over drinks the night before, and a pig roast the day after,  stretching the fun for as long as possible, making our guests feel taken care of.

With the changing colors of Fall, this Italian wedding inspiration designed by Parade has us thinking that Autumn might be the best time for a winery wedding. Everything about this wedding inspiration shoot is romantic: the vintage-inspired wedding dress, the rustic alfresco dinner table, the bride’s twisted chignon, and the Autumnal flowers. With the warm Autumn colored grape leaves lending so much vibrant color and texture, florists Ophicina Botanica could focus on the perfect fall bouquet filled with blush & white roses contrasted with vibrant red leaves. Our dinner table was designed in great detail, with the contribution of all the vendors involved, starting from the calligrapher Wildflowers Calligraphy, who chose the burgundy as the theme of her creations.
