A John Lennon and Yoko Ono inspired engagement session, what else could I ask for? This 1960s inspired shoot styled by April Foster of April Foster Events is a feast to my eyes. From April: “Lora and Mike are both in theater. Their quirky sense of style combined with their fun personalities made this engagement session both unique and incredibly fun. Prior to the shoot, I got to know Lora and Mike a little better. I found out the following: they both love theater, music, celebrities from the 60s and 70s, the outdoors, and anything a little different. The day of the shoot, Lora, Mike and I stopped at Goodwill to pick out some additional outfits. We loaded up the car with the props I picked out earlier in the week at various shops. We were headed to a great sunflower patch but had to make one stop first – to get a shot of Lora and Mike in a bathtub.”

Ok, brace yourself for some gorgeous wedding eye candy overload! Caroline Ghetes took so many amazing photos, we just had to dedicate a whole post to just the bride and groom. From dreamy portraits on the ranch to seriously glamorous nighttime city portraits, she captured it all.
More from Patricia:
My husband saw a Pronovias wedding dress online one day and tells me that it is the most beautiful dress he has ever seen. Shopping for a dress was difficult because it was nearing the end of the year and the 2010 collection had not yet been released. Therefore, all the dresses I had seen online were not available to the public. After trying on 30+ dresses, I came across the one my husband mentioned earlier. The moment I saw it on the hanger, I knew it was the one.
I made the veil using ivory Russian netting tulle and a peony flower with a diamond button I borrowed from my mother. The button served as ‘something borrowed’.
The height different between my husband and I is quite drastic, he measures up to 6’4 and I am 5’0, so I wore 6.5 inches high heels!
Part three of this spectacular will be coming your way soon. Stay tuned!
