Find Me Some Boots

Below, is one of my all time favorite "shoe & sock shot", found here . I love the groom's purple and blue argyle socks paired with brown shoes and how the bride traded her heels for cowboy boots.
And then I saw these remarkable pictures from matthew morgan where the bridesmaids, wore the most adorable brown cowboy boots.

And then there was this engagement shoot where the bride-to-be brought out her boots. The dog's cute too.

Long story short, I am in need of boots like these for the summer's upcoming country concerts. Suggestions as to where I can find boots like the ones above {specifically ones like the bridesmaid on the far right, above} would be much appreciated as I would like to get my grubby little hands on them as soon as possible. The sooner I have them then the sooner summer will be here, right?

Slipping It On

So, in the post below I stated how much I love the shot of the bride slipping on the grooms wedding band while she states her vows. My love for that shot started when I saw this picture:

So I sifted through our wedding photos, did a little cropping, little editing with the help of picnik and came up with this:

It's a new "favorite" of mine, for sure.

Calm and Cool

I wasn't really that calm and cool the day of our wedding. If it wasn't for Stephanie and my wonderful bridesmaids, I would have been a total mess. There were just so many details and I was so excited and anxious that it was hard to sit still and let the absolute joy of the day sink in all the way.

But this bride {at least in this picture} exemplifies all that a bride should be on her wedding day. Ready. Hopeful. In awe of the moment.
And this picture, my friends, is another must have. Would this not immediately be framed as a favorite?

Next to the Bathroom Sink

I have to admit, I'm not one for the traditional "dress shot." It's just {normally} not one of the top 20 pictures from a wedding day that I would love so much and want to frame. But if this were my dress shot, it would have it's own pretty little frame and sit right next to my bathroom sink.

If Only

If only every bride could have a moment to relax in the balcony/loft of the church before her wedding ceremony....

Bridal Glow

When the hair and make up is done, the dress is on and the veil has been placed atop the head there comes a moment when a women becomes a bride. And she glows. This picture, by evoke photography, just makes me smile.

Dear Santa

Dear Santa,
I don't know when the last time was that we cleaned out our chimney. So I'll just leave the side door unlocked for you. Rice krispie treats and a diet mountain dew {my favorite late night combo} will be in front of the stockings for you. And carrots for the reindeer, of course. Oh, and if you don't have the reindeer park it on the roof, then please make sure they don't play in the yard. We wouldn't want their hooves to tear up the grass.

Dear my little bloggity blog,
The hectic-ness of the holiday season has caught up with me and I have neglected you recently. Sorry about that. Soon I will grab a glass of wine and get all caught up with you.

Dear reader friends,
See you next year, or perhaps once or twice before then. Happy holidays! Here's your pretty picture for this post from Jennifer Skog.
