These are a few of my favorite things...

The cover.. a big juicy feature.. at an exotic destination.. with a bride that happens to be a Victoria's Secret model.. It sounds like a photographer's dream job, but this just happens to be Chris Schmitt's reality. He is no stranger to spending his time being requested by today's hottest bride's-to-be to fly to exclusive locales to shoot their private wedding fete.

Perhaps one of the key shots of a wedding that a magazine looks to use in a wedding feature is the ceremony exit. It happens in a flash, and getting that perfect shot is not easy. Steve Hoffmann makes this task look like a piece of cake here. This shot has perfect composition, it has such an easy feeling, so natural.. Kudos Mr. Hoffmann.

Featuring... the wedding of Samantha & Ben

Junebug Weddings knows its stuff. Especially when it comes to featuring real weddings, so when they picked this wedding by one of Chicago's finest photographers (his studio is a work of art!) Kevin Weinstein, I wasn't surprised. Here is one of my favorite shots from the wedding featured, by, as Junebug called him.. "the wonderful world of Kevin Weinstein Photography.."

Because his style is just as important as hers...

Yes, yes, yes! Capturing the grooms savvy style is important too! Here are perfect examples from two pros (and former clients) Jessica Claire & Jasmine Star.

Let's get a little personal...

Here's my mom playing fairy godmother to her niece!

The perfect silhouette of a bride, that's what I call this. There's no denying John & Joseph Photography nailed this shot.
