Real New York Wedding Engagement Photoshoot in Central Park

Loving this engagement photography shoot sent in by Luciebelle Photography.
Here's what they had to say: Renee & Jacob wanted to do there engagement session in Central Park and specifically in front of the castle. We lucked out and scheduled the shoot on thee most beautiful day of the year so far.. the only problem is that we weren't the only ones who wanted to spend time in the park on such a great day. Though there were masses of people we still managed to steel a few shots without extras:) And after some serious i-phone consulting we made our way to the castle before sunset. This shoot reminded me that it isn't officially wedding season until I've been lost in Central Park...it happens every year.

Real NYC Wedding Engagement Photoshoot

Loving this NYC engagement shoot by Heidi Chosen Photography!
Liana and Matthew wanted a more natural engagement shoot where the photographer documented them walking all over NYC, where they reside. Love the NYC scenery and the gritty NYC street in contrast to them and how they included fido too. It's a great way to capture a time in your life where you can look back later and reminece with your hubby where your lives where when you first started your lives together.

The First Ever Etsy Wedding Event | Amazing Wedding Inspiration Part 1

The first ever Etsy wedding event was held on April 28, 2012 in NYC, and I had the fabulous privilege to be invited to the event. It was a wonderful sight to see so many lovely hand made goodies under one roof!

For those of you who still don't know, Etsy Weddings is a browsing experience that offers a combination of wedding items, trends, how-tos, expert advice and the stories of real couples all in one place. And now they have added something new, The Wedding Registry. From personalized décor to vintage kitchen items, the registry makes it easy for couples to choose gifts that match their distinct taste and lifestyle.

The event was huge and the images so beautifully inspired that I had to break down the awesomeness into 2 posts. Tomorrow you will enjoy more!

Thursday Trend Day | Couture Garters by Bleu Garters

Bleu Garters is known for their Hand-sewn custom garters incorporating vintage laces and fine silks. Bleu Garters began with a simple idea from fashion designer Jaime Lawson… to give the poor, rejected garter a makeover, transforming it from a bridal afterthought into a beautiful keepsake that can be passed on for generations. More like a piece of jewelry, brides can pick a garter to truly complement their style. Make it your something blue! Handcrafted in the U.S.A. from fine silks and antique laces, Bleu Garters also make great bridesmaid gifts; choose colors or styles to coordinate with the Bride.
