      Sam loved the Lego topper. Anne loved the purple shoes. I love all of your stunning work!! My two favorites were the bride decorating her own wedding cupcakes and the couple preparing to leave in the classic Mustang. Such talent you have!!! xo

      I love the rhinestone laced, shiny sparkly bouquet – I love that it’s both vintage looking, and it will last forever! And I’m always a fan of anything that brings interaction to the wedding, the postcards, photo booths, guest books to draw in, stuff like that. Great post!

      Very creatively inspiring photography. Your work displays a great understanding of light and composition, a credit to the wedding photography industry. It’s not often one can say this but you have a fresh, individual style that is unique to you. Love these photographs.

      Mostly are unique and looks very beautiful if applied. Thanks for sharing it along with lovely PHOTOS.

      WOW, this is just awesome photography, lovely backdrop, great timing and perfect angles, great work….

      I liked the Simpsons donut groom%u2019s cake, well it looked funny to me. But “the bride and groom skiing down the hill” was very creative and looks delicious. The diamond ring looks marvelous.

      Thank you soo much for these beautiful photos! I even started to desire to get married myself)) There are so much creative ideas here! I wish I also had such a beautiful wedding! Beauty is in details.
      Claire.

      I like the Simpson’s groom cake and the Lego topped wedding cake.

      That jewelry bouquet is, hands-down, the coolest thing I’ve ever seen.

      i hope you never make THAT typo in your “weeing” or “weeding” albums you design. lol

      great pics and recap. some i recognized; others i did not. the Homer donut cake still cracks me up. that is AWESOME.
