best of 2013 | weddings | family formals

Feb 12, 2014

Okay, okay, I know–family formals at weddings are an unlikely category to find in our “best wedding photos of 2013” series. In our seven years of shooting over 150 weddings, I can count on one hand the number of couples that have listed family formals as something they were looking forward to having from the wedding. But we have also noticed that of all the pictures we take, the family formals are the ones most often printed and mounted on walls. So nailing those shots is important to us, and if we can capture the family’s dynamic in that photo? Even better! Here are some of the family formals that made me smile this year:

Best of 2013 | Wedding Details

Feb 04, 2014

Next up in our “best of” series of wedding photos from the 2013 season are the detail shots. A post full of flowers and shoes–what could be better?! :D Here are a few gorgeous and inspiring bouquets, shoes, centerpieces, and programs from our 2013 weddings!

Kelly’s stunning dress was one of my favorites last season. The little bow at the back was such a great detail!

This guestbook doubled as a entertainment during Steph and Geoff’s reception: polaroid cameras, a scrapbook, and some photo corners made for a lot of fun!

Beautiful Dunafon Castle wedding reception centerpieces

I loved this instagram reminder at Alex and Emily’s wedding–such a great way to synchronize hashtags to allow the bride and groom to see all the guests’ instagram photos at a later date!

Stunning reception details at Crooked Willow Farms

Another fantastic idea–Steph and Geoff’s stunning programs included an adorable timeline of the festivities!
