I leisurely sipped my Starbucks latte while walking through the magazine isles at Barnes & Noble. My pace became even slower as I walked past the bridal magazines. Their allure was just to much to resist. The elegant dresses, superlative florals and dazzling celebrations of love were so enthralling. I didn’t really think much about the minutia of my own day. I just loved to dream about “one day”…After my prince suddenly (and unexpectedly) swept me off my feet and gave me a sparkling diamond ring, I couldn’t wait to go purchase my first wedding publications. It’s just one of those things that says “I’m really a bride now!”
In leu of that feeling I wanted to create something for my own brides. (I mean really, can a bride have too many wedding magazines? I think not!) Thus, I am so thrilled to reveal The Bridal Booklet! Choosing someone to capture all those exquisite and intimate details of your day, like what you see on those lovely pages you peruse, is a big deal. It’s arguably the most important decision you’ll make in planning your big day! I hope I can make this part of the process easier for you. This little booklet lets all you prospective brides know more about what it’s like to have me as a part of your vision for you wedding. There’s also a few other things too! I loved getting wedding magazines so much that I thought it’s be a fun element to add to my consultations! (Plus, I adore my past brides and grooms so much that I wanted to have a place to look at their photos all the time!)
I can’t show you all of it, because that would ruin the surprise for my girls wouldn’t it? However, I’m to excited not to show you guys a little bit. (Wink, wink.) My sweet designer friend Jordan did such a wonderful job on the whole thing. I just love her.

This is undoubtedly my favorite portion of this beautiful sonnet. I have a poet’s soul, so I’m so glad we included it somewhere. :)


PS: My sweet bride Jenessa has her ravishing bridal session in St. Augustine featured on Style Me Pretty today! She looks drop dead gorgeous and very reminiscent of a fairy-tale princess! You don’t want to miss it!

Oooh, how exciting! I’d just LOVE that book, even though I’m not get married any time soon…just to look through it would be enough :)
Holly recently posted..some of the best people in the world
JENNIFER. This is completely breathtaking. Like I said on Instagram the other day… it seriously makes me want to get married now. Wow. I may just have to direct some engaged friends your way:) you are amazing! And Jordan did an outstanding job with the design.
What a sweet and thoughtful idea Jennifer!! All the brides will LOVE it!
Aw, thank you so much Holly!
Thank you Allison! I sure hope so!
Thank you SO MUCH Erika! You’re so sweet to me! I think it would just be a blast to work with you! I hope it happens! :)
Jennifer, Wish you were my photographer 25 years ago. You are so right about the photos being all that you have (besides your love and marriage) from the wedding. I have lots of poses of everyone just lined up on steps with the exception of one where my mom is watching/helping me put my veil on. Maybe Joel and I will have to do a special anniversary session with you sometime! Until then, am honored that you are doing my son’s wedding! Love you bunches! Marie
Love love love! I want one! :)
Girl, we will make it happen! :)
Oooo am I going to get one since I’m one of your brides?!?! I was thinking it was for FUTURE (as in prospective) brides – but actually I just realized I am because our wedding is not until March!! That would be sooooo neat!! I can’t wait to see it either way!
Settling on our photographer was one of the most challenging aspects of wedding planning early on – but I knew who I wanted from the beginning, and I’m sooooo glad that I got HER!! ;)
The only problem – I’m single!:) When the day comes though… ah yes, when that day comes…!
Ah, I love this! I really wish I could see more. And I really like the way you photographed it – so pretty and blue! (Blue is my favorite color, fyi). :)
hugs,
~bree
I want one!
Gorgeous Jenessa! I’m so happy for you! <3 <3
This is such a wonderful idea! i love it;)
[...] This is all a blessing and a privilege. It’s moments like the photo above that and days like yesterday that make all the tedious little things worth it, but it doesn’t mean that they aren’t [...]
