From Wedding to Home: Frames

Here I thought frames would be an incredibly unique idea for a wedding, but frames have jumped to the next level and become wall art in homes as well. I quite like the idea of a wall of frames, filled with pictures or not. It just goes to show that home decor can be just as unique as wedding decor, and when you are striving for a unique wedding, shouldn't your home fit your same tastes?? Well, here we go with another idea of how you can use your wedding decor as home decor after the fact. Save some money, freshen up your home, and take a green approach to your wedding!

I happen to be an extreme fan of chalkboards, engagement shoot props, and unique wedding ideas-well, here you have all of the above wrapped into one pretty package! Have fun with these on your wedding day, engagement shoot, etc.  You can hang them in your home after the wedding to remind you of all that your day meant.

How about the simple approach of incorporating frames into your wedding photos. Hey, you could even frame one of the photos in the frame you used....just an idea!

How are you going green and reducing the waste from your wedding?? Is any of your wedding decor going to find a pretty spot in your home afterward??

Inspired Engagement Shoot

Here is another great engagement shoot from Joseph Was Here Photography! Their personal style goes perfectly with the photographers style which I believe is very important if you want to get those perfect shots! Enjoy this engagement shoot! It looks like they had a lot of fun doing this!

Tomorrow I do actually want to bring up the subject of engagement shoot props and how they can really aide the shoot!

Engagement Shoot by Joseph Was Here Photography

I love when engagement shoots, or wedding for that matter, really tell a story. I love when you can feel something from the photographs you are looking at. But something even better, natural and candid shots as opposed to cookie cutter posed shots! When you find a couple that is incredibly in love, getting those candid shots becomes a walk in the park because you can just feel the love they have for each other. This couple really does it for me in that regard! The incredible love they have for each other is portrayed perfectly through this engagement shoot. Jeff is currently serving for the Armed Forces and Jennifer is just adorable!

Thanks so much to Joseph Was Here Photography for this incredible shoot!

Below she is running up to him to jump on his back. Such a cute little series!

The last photo is my favorite!

Gorgeous Engagement Shoot

The other day I said, "I have a major vendor crush right now and I am so giddy!" Well, this guy and his incredible work are the sources of my giddiness! Sometimes you come across incredibly artistic individuals who really get it. Aaron Shintako pushes what "photography" is made to be and he goes t that extra mile to capture the real emotion of the couple. He really communicates the love through his work. The composition of the photo is just gorgeous. I am saying all of this from a few e-mails, looking at his website and watching, yes watching, his amazing About Me video. Oh and first impression wise, he got me by playing my all time favorite artist on his website :) But these are all just first impressions until you really see what he can do!

Love the scene, the wine glasses, the dress-wow, I'm definitely in love with this shoot!

Definitely helps the photographer when you have an incredibly gorgeous couple like this!

This is just a beyond incredible engagement shoot! The colors, the angles, the everything, it doesn't get any more rich than this! Thanks to Aaron for letting me show off this incredible engagement shoot. He is definitely on my list of photographers I wish I could have!

One Love Photo Engagement Shoot-Amazing

I have been so excited to show this shoot for the last few days. It is so sweet and fun. Great inspiration for all of you who have yet to do your engagement shoot.

Love the poses, and the shots, not to mention her outfit is just amazing chic and adorable.

Ok let's be honest, this is the cutest engagement shoot ever! She is sooo cute! Their extremely fun relationship is portrayed perfectly in these shots.

And who might be the photographer for this incredible shoot??? None other than Sara from One Love Photography. One Love Photography is one of my favorites as she really knows how to capture moments instead of simply pictures. Note to self, props are a definite must for our engagement shoot.

Thanks to Sara for this incredibly inspiring engagement shoot.
