Nikki + Bobby in Cabo

You can’t really go wrong with a beach side wedding in beautiful Cabo San Lucas, Mexico and from the looks of this next set of images, the photographer, Scott Andrew out of Northern California, can do no wrong either!

Nikki + Bobby’s gorgeous beach side ceremony provided a plethora of picturesque locales for their photographer to shoot from, as you can see. But then they go and throw in a reception at the beautiful Villa Bellissima Resort?

Come on now, that’s just not fair! You’re killing me!

This stunning seaside resort boasts some absolutely spectacular views from its hillside location in Pedregal, overlooking the Pacific Ocean. Oh, and did I mention the infinity pool at the dance floors edge and a private firework extravaganza at the end of the night? Scott Andrew, photographer extraordinaire, along with his fearless, second-shooter Evan Baines, captured some truly magnificent moments for this newly wedded couple, and we just have to say – Job Well Done.

And one last thing… did you see check out the bride’s heels?

Seriously killing me.

The World Will Pause…

This next wedding set in Nottinghamshire, England and sent to us by the extremely talented Crash Taylor, truly captured it all. As you scroll through the images of Craig + Claire’s wedding day, you almost start to feel a part of the day as it unfolds before you. You see guests embracing and friends laughing. You see private, intimate moments between a husband and his new wife. You can almost hear the conversations and feel the excitement with each beautiful new image.

I can imagine, for Craig + Claire, this beautiful collection lets them relive their wedding day any time they choose. What a truly amazing gift.

This is a gorgeous wedding. I used to live in London, and this brings back memories.

A Wish is Made

When lucky coins are tossed into a rushing water fountain.

When candles are blown out, eyes squeezed shut and fingers crossed.

When a glance to the bedside table reveals a clock set on 11:11.

A wish is made…

And for Jen + Matt, that wish came true when – amongst the glittering, dangling lights and rustic Holly Farm setting – they promised to love and cherish one another, all the days of their lives.

These images, captured by the exceptionally talented Meg Perotti, reveal a magical – almost whimsical – sort of fairy tale land. The venue for this wonderful celebration is the stunning Holly Farm hideaway, tucked away against the Santa Lucia Mountains in Carmel, California.  I’m blown away by this venue, with all of its glorious little nooks and crannies and all the special little details that make this place so distinctive.

Meg did a wonderful job capturing the uniqueness of the setting and all the precious moments Jen + Matt created together on this beautiful occasion. There is so much life contained in these images, from the laughing, happy smiles of the couple’s friends and family to the dancing, the dart throwing and the cigar-smoking shots. I just wish I had a time machine so I could beam myself over to Holly Farm and be a part of this beautiful day.

It’s almost 11:11. I’m closing my eyes now… I’m making a wish…

Bridgette

How charming!!! Love the table settings, and the unique & different lanterns hanging from the trees…..very creative & the dart board’s great too! looks like the reception was a ton of fun :)

Antonija

Beautiful photography! I love the warm vintage feel this wedding has. I love her dress too.

Sophie Ellis

Beautiful! I love that her shoes have pleats that match the pleats in her dress. Love the dart board too – how unique!

Cynthia Moreau

Love all the little details! LOVE the bride’s dress, the flowers in the front waistline of her dress are simply divine, looks great on her.

Johnny Yu

Great wedding… the dart board idea is the best!!!! really like the plaid suit at the end :)

Gabby Sorocco

The magical elements of this wedding were so well captured in these photos – just perfect!

Brandi

Simply breathtaking! The detail captured in these photos, from the tendrils of smoking raising from the cigars, to the glimpse of forever caught in the couple’s eyes, is exquisite. It is amazing how simple candid moments such as putting on the bride’s lipstick or raising a glass can be transformed into treasured works of art. Beautiful work!

Julie S.

Beautiful… Every special moment was captured. I love the lights and the cigars!

Two. Two. Two Engage ‘mints’ in One!

Apparently wishes really DO come true! Yesterday we posted a wonderful wintery engagement session with the most adorably cute couple. So cute in fact, it left us all wanting more. More couples cuddled close to each other. More intimate walks through the snow-filled fields. More winter sweaters and mittens and embraces to keep warm.

Fortunately, Valentine’s Day has put us in a giving mood so here’s a double-dose of Snow White Winter Wonderland Engagements – both courtesy of Erin Samuel with A Simple Photograph.

These two engagement sessions are similar at first glance – both set outdoors and both couples incorporating nature’s beauty and the surrounding environments into their photographic love story. But upon further inspection, you’ll start to pick up the differences as each couple’s unique personalities start to reveal themselves. It’s obvious both of these couples have an incredible chemistry, but what’s even more amazing is how their photographer was able to capture their connection and bond so distinctively.

And so, without further adieu… thou asketh and thou shall receiveth!

Claire + Brian – Martin’s Apple Orchard

Sarah + Broody – Benjamin’s Tree Farm at Christmas

Jayne Burgess

Never, Ever Let Go

When the man you love is down on one knee proposing marriage – you giddily exclaim ‘Yes!’

When the man you love is down on one knee proposing marriage.
On a trip to Portugal to meet your extended family.
After cleverly concealing the ring through customs.
So he could surprise you with the proposal one night after dinner.
In front of your entire family.
There wasn’t a dry eye in the room.
And after all that.
He learned how to propose in Portuguese.
You grab a hold of him and never, ever, let go.

This wedding is all heart and then some. It took place at the Barcelo Maya Tropical Hotel in the Mayan Riviera. And while Angelina + Justin have a lifetime of romantic moments ahead of them, I’m just happy I can share their amazing story and these beautiful images, courtesy of Jen Alston from Imajen Photography.

Sharon B.

Divine photos! and such a sweet story about the bride & groom, they look so happy together.

Margaret

I am so very blessed to have been there during the proposal and proudly state that, yes indeed, my eyes were not dry!!! Right through to the most beautiful, romantic union between this extraordinary couple. There are few that I know that share such a wonderful bond as you both do!!! Thank you for sharing such a wonderful wedding with us at the Tropical Maya… words do not exist to express the emotions that went through my heart and soul that Special Day..

Such romantic photos. Beautiful.

Josie Cook

Excellent photos! what a sweet couple :)

Sandra Simms

Even though I didn’t attend the wedding, I got to experience through the wonderful shots that were taken and then later compiled into a breathtaking presentation. Whenever I’m feelin’ blue I go and replay that slide presentation….works like a charm. How cool is that?

Sandra

Debora

Gorgeous photos! What a romantic proposal story – love it.

Angie LaRose

This was the most romantic wedding I have attended. The love that these two share is what fairytales are made from. They are so full of life and love, and no matter what life will bring them in the future I have no doubt in my mind that they will always rise above it and be stronger for it. They are my inspiration. I love you both and thank you for giving us all something to “hope” for and something to “believe” in! Xxoo

Cheryl Scott

WOW! What gorgeous images – love the story about the proposal …how romantic!! Looks like there are 2 very proud Mothers commenting about this wedding!

stella lima

I am the Bride’s (Angelina) mother. I am a Hair Designer & have been in the profession for the last 33 years. I have dealt with many brides. I saw a ‘different’ bride on Nov 18th. This woman didn’t care about anything else but the man she’s in love with. It was all about the vows for her & everything else was secondary! It was beautiful to watch a bride living joy ….even more joy to be the mother of the bride!
Stella

Jen Alston

Thank you BW! It is fun looking through this blog full of tremendous ideas! I’m happy to be part of it. :-)

Sandy Dutton

Absolutely stunning! And how very proud I am, you see…I am mother of the groom and he truly is a romantic and wonderful boy and because of that, he only deserves the best…and that is what he got in Angelina. Love you both my darlings!! xoxo
