these are a few of my favorite things...

A bride whose not afraid to show a little leg to the camera, and the camera that spots a great shot and catches it.

Inspiration boards

These are inspiration boards I found on the Dessy website, a great little tool they have utilizing Pantone colors to create a collage of inspiring ideas to create a style for a wedding.

You know, photographers may want to pick up this idea too. Brides are always looking to magazines for photo inspiration too, the images they want their photographer to recreate at their wedding. So let's use this idea as a challenge to all you photographers out there... create an inspiration board of your images that you think represent the type of shots today's bride will want for her wedding.

Your board may end up being featured here! Send your jpeg board to RHermes@aol.com (deadline is April 1st)

Spring, Scotty, and my mom...

Ahhh springtime is here.. Here's how I will always think of springtime.. my mom spending a lovely sunny day out relaxing with Scotty in one of his favorite spots in Laguna Beach!

Color that pops!

I just had to share this wedding because the style and design are so beautifully executed. Every bride should be so lucky to have Details Details event planning and White Lilac floral/event design on hand. Thanx to rock star Joe Photo for the images.

A *sexy* stellar image this month

Here I am, a year older and ready to go!

This month's Stellar Image is by Andrew Bryant, and a real conversation piece to me. When I think of couple portraits from memory, I think of elegant, romantic, timeless, charming images. This, just made a statement to me. Sexy, seductive, alluring... I mean I could see the emotion! I think my screen even started to fog up!

Submit your image for Stellar consideration to RHermes@aol.com, subject Stellar Submission!
