Oh So Inspired - Seaglass Inspiration

I am head-over-heels for the alluring beauty of the coast.  Today's inspiration centers around seaglass, gold detailing, and ocean bliss. 

There is oh-so-much more than the traditional lattice and seashells that a beach wedding can boast.  Inspiration abounds with romance everywhere you look.  

With Florida's world class beaches you can easily imagine your own magical coastal wedding.  Dining alfresco, surrounded by white sands, with the ambient sound of crashing waves.  Um, yes, please!

I am always on the hunt for inspirational wedding blogs.  There are many to be found, for sure.  Specifically, however, I was in search of something with a coastal wedding focus.  Drawing from the dreamy seascape that surrounds me.  

This is when I stumbled upon Coastal Bride.  I fell in love, immediately.

 Gillian curates the most lovely of pieces and I can't help but push the "love button" on everything she posts.  

We decided to collaborate on her upcoming three-year-anniversary shoot.  She dreamed up the concept for my team and then we had the joy of executing it.  

The professionals who I get to work with work magic.  No, like really.

The day of the shoot the wind was insane.   And cold.  Our poor custom gown was blowing all over the place, hair in our model's eyes, shivering in the breeze.  But, we work weddings.  In the craziest of conditions.  We re-grouped, found the best light, protected from the wind's fury.  

Then, the magic.  

Hop on over to Coastal Bride to see all of the curated gorgeousness - prepare to be inspired.  

xoxo

FAQ: How do you edit wedding images?

Hello Lovelies!

Sooo, trying something new here, you guys.  A blogcast of sorts.  Basically, a short audio clip discussing the questions my couples often ask of me.  

Lately I am totally obsessed with podcasts.  Serial - you guys!  For reals.  I love that you can multitask with them yet still gather valuable snippets of information.  

This clip is all about image post-processing or editing.  Every photographer is going to answer this question in his or her own way.  You know, us cray cray creatives.
