A Post-Orange County Beach Wedding Portrait Session by Bleudog Fotography

August 2, 2016

This feature is one that is so exciting for us because in our eyes, this is the future. This is what all wedding photo sessions are going to be like and we aren't surprised that one of our absolute favorite wedding photographers, Bleudog Fotography, came up with the idea. After you read what it is, you too will agree that she's brilliant.

On the wedding day, everything is hectic. You spend hours and hours taking photos and even then you feel like you're rushed. And there is just never enough time for everything you want to do. And even worse? Most couples have to miss out on the cocktail hour, the largest section of time to actually mingle with their guests! Let alone, the cocktails and appetizers.

So this couple did something fun and different -- They took all of the usual photos on their wedding day, but then headed to the beach the day after their wedding for some relaxed portraits. No rushing, just a relaxed session...and it shows! Brilliant, huh?

29 Fun + Unique Wedding Guest Book Alternatives

August 1, 2016

Sponsored with love, by Etsy

At our wedding, we had a traditional guest book and a fun guest book alternative. And guess what? We have never once opened the guest book. That's right, not once. It has remained in that fancy box it came in for the past three years, collecting dust. And while it will be a fun keepsake to open up years down the line, we are much bigger fans of guest book alternatives that you will actually read or even hang in your home.

So here are 29 fun and unique guest book alternatives for you to browse through and find one that works perfectly for your wedding day. If you see one you love, just click on the photo and it will take you to where we found it!
