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.”

Shot by Megan W Photography (whose work you may remember from this equally gorgeous Ice Cream Parlor Session I posted last year). Big thanks to April and Megan for sharing this shoot with us!

Megan from MaeMae Paperie recently sent over this beautiful 1920s inspired wedding suite and just had to gush over how fabulous the entire design is. The colors are just right and the logo of the couple on many of the pieces is so sweet. I’m especially loving that Save-the-Date card, the illustration reminds me of poichoir stenciling typical from the 1920s.

It’s time to feature Patricia and Dennis’ gorgeous reception, artfully shot by Caroline Ghetes. There were lush florals and vintage details around every corner, and I loved them all! I am completely obsessed with those amazing vintage trunks overflowing with blooms. Sheer perfection!

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!
