Arizona Wedding by Sloan Photographers

Angie Sloan was nice enough to allow us to feature this adorable couple today. Thanks Angie!

I love everything about these photographs. The bride is adorable, the groom is handsome, bow tie, short dress, cactus, arizona, leaves, yellow! Some of my favorite things! The bride's hairpiece is from Mignonne Handmade. They make really beautiful hairpieces for brides...so you should probably get one.

A lot of you in the poll said you were having a hard time picking a photographer, well California brides, look no further! The Sloans are so wonderful. They are great people who are easy to get along with, and have amazing talent to boot!

The first image melts my heart.

Thanks!

We wanted to thank you, our readers, for being our readers! For sticking with us through the slow months, and the dead months as we've been trying to figure out this being moms, photographers, designers, and bloggers thing.

I came across these adorable cards from Rifle Paper Co. this week and just HAD to have them. They also make really darling wedding invites. But I already have too many thank you cards, so I'm giving them to you! One lucky reader will win an 8 pack of these adorable cards! Just leave a comment with your email, and which one you love the most. I know, it's hard to pick just one. The giveaway ends saturday evening at 8 p.m. EST, so be sure to enter soon!

Spring Wedding Inspiration

I just wanted to give you all a little taste of what we're (Kirsten and I) working on. This is the inspiration board we've been working from. This gorgeous styled inspiration shoot will be coming your way in March!

I just love a good snappy green and white. So fresh.

Succulent. Adjective and Noun.

I love this trend we're seeing a lot of this year, succulents!

They're such a quirky plant, with so much character it's hard not to adore them. Here are some of my favorite uses...

Thanks to The Inspired Bride, you guys can make your own succulent boutonnieres! Go to their (adorable) blog for the rest of the instructions.

not just her name.

i'll have to admit, this wedding caught my eye on welovepictures blog because the bride is named kirsten. not kristen. not kristin. kirsten- just like me. one time i asked rebecca if all "rebeccas" freak out when they meet each other- she laughed and said: no. Well, all "kirstens" do, we love to meet each other. and since this kirsten is my new bff (obviously...) let's take a peek at her wedding.
effortless.
rustic.
simple but obviously thought-out.
(with some really bad ass looking groomsmen!)





i love to see a groom totally gobsmacked by his gorgeous bride.

nice work David & Kirsten- your wedding really made me smile.

bisous, kirsten
