I thought I would spend today sharing a few real weddings and engagement sessions sent in by some of our favorite photographers over the last week. Courtney of Erin Hearts Court recently shared images from Thomas & Jennifer’s amazing wedding which took place in a field of lavender. Below are some of my favorites, but be sure to check out their beautiful blog for the rest of this gorgeous, summer affair. Thanks, Courtney!

I have always dreamed of having Moon Pies for favors at my wedding! The novelty treat is something I grew up with in the South and there is just something so fun about them, not to mention that they have such an endearing name. To dress up these tasty and inexpensive treats, I will show you how to personalize them and to repackage them to make them look as good as they taste. The Moon Pies could always be swapped out for your own favorite prepackaged treat, or even a home made whoopie pie. Click “more” below to see the rest…

I am so excited to introduce Jessica Johnston Photography as one of our newest sponsors here on Once Wed. I’ve been a huge fan of Jessica’s images ever since I launched the site in early 2008, and two of her lovely weddings grace our real weddings gallery(here and here). Her images are classically beautiful yet still refreshingly modern. A unique combination I never really came across until I discovered her gorgeous photographs. Jessica is based in Michigan, but enjoys shooting weddings all over the country as well as destination weddings.

Tec incorporates a little film along with digital when he shoots some weddings which I love because it really does give you the best of both worlds. Digital is amazing, but there is just something so wonderful about film…
