I’ve got another beautiful wedding for today all the way from Los Angeles to New York (their LA wedding was recently featured on Snippet & Ink). How much fun to have the chance to plan two separate weddings with completely different looks. That’s exactly what Nina and Russell did with big day, and the talented Charlotte Jenks Lewis was there to capture both gorgeous events. The bride showed up in an all black ensemble for their New York wedding and was absolutely stunning…

I’m so excited to announce that I’ll be taking part in  The 2nd Annual Luxury Event presented by the Couture Wedding Consortium of Washington DC coming up on February 6th. Blogging has been such an integral part of Once Wed’s growth and I’m very much looking forward to the opportunity to share my experience(and mistakes!) with a small group of VIP vendors taking part in the this event earlier in the morning and then actually attending the event later on in the afternoon with fellow bloggers Oh So Beautiful Paper, District Weddings, and The Relentless Bride.

Below is a small list of exhibitor’s(more to come next week) who are showcasing their services including the amazing, The Cotton Bride, who is also giving away the lovely wedding dress you see below to one lucky attendee.

Katie was kind enough to offer two free tickets to Once Wed readers, so if you are in the DC area next weekend and interested in attending the event please leave you name + email below and we will announce the winner next Monday. For more information about the conference and instructions for registering, click here. I hope to see you there!

Annabel from Belathée Photography was there to capture Libby and Greg’s wedding that took place on the other side of the country in New York. The bride’s dress was absolutely gorgeous with flower and ruffle details along the top and around the bottom of the skirt. I feel like anything baby’s breath has a tendency to receive such a bad rap, but when used with restraint it can be absolutely beautiful like in the bride’s bouquet below. Plus, it is very inexpensive!

The lovely ladies over at Belathée Photography sent over this bi-coastal affair that consisted of a rustic farm engagement party and then a sweet wedding over in New York. Dorothée (one half of the Belathée team) was in Oregon to document this family filled party complete with croquet and colored pencils…

Libby and Greg’s charming New York wedding is coming up next!

I’ve got a sweet engagement party and real wedding lined up for today, but first wanted to introduce another sponsor we’re fortunate to have here on Once Wed, Razvan Photography. Here’s a little bit from Razvan about why he loves wedding photography…

I love to travel and I will go anywhere in the world to document the love between two people. I love it when someone looks at my pictures and empathizes with the subjects. My goal is to offer my clients beautiful memories. I do full day of the wedding coverage because I believe that there’s a beautiful story to be told with every wedding. And I like to tell full stories.
