I have a running mental list of images I would love to frame for my new office walls. (I am pretty much out of wall space with all of the images I love!) I can’t get enough of Kristina + Royce’s wedding from {Apertura Photography}. The shot with the swirling yellow petals is divine. Just pure perfection!
Here’s another favorite from Erik Clausen aka {Poser}. He thinks I’m kidding about putting this on my wall, but I am just in love with this photo. Can’t wait to see the rest of this wedding!
We are debuting a new weekly feature on the SW Blog next week: 5 + 5: The South’s Top Photographers. The hottest pros in the South will be sharing their top 5 favorite wedding images and answering our 5 hot topic interview questions. Stay tuned for some fab photo overload!
What a week! We are so excited about everything that is happening in the SW world and have to give thanks to all of our fabulous readers. Just 2 weeks ago I posted that we had reached the 300 subscriber mark. Well, thanks to our amazing readers, that number has now almost DOUBLED! We are thrilled that people love Southern weddings as much as we do. All the credit goes to the phenomenal photographers and designers that we feature every day. You do the work, we just help people see it.

Holly Hatam of {TearDrop Weddings} sent me a very sweet email this week saying that she was so inspired by the Southern Wedding of the Week last week – Katrina + Matt (shot by the amazing Whitney and Jesse of {Our Labor of Love}) that she designed an invitation suite based on it! How cute is this!? Holly is having a wonderful contest on her blog this week. From Holly…“brides have to tell me their unique stories about how they met and fell in love with their fiance’s and details about their wedding. I will choose the 20 brides that inspire me the most and I will design an invitation based around them. And in return to the brides that I choose, they will receive this custom design, but at the price of ordering from my ready made collection, which is a savings of $1500!” Brides, be sure to enter this fun contest!
- The fabulous {Hello!Lucky Contest} ends next Wednesday, so get those comments in for a chance to win 100 Letterpress Invitations from {Hello!Lucky}. (1 ink color with plain envelopes; reply set not included. Retail value of $600) I love getting invitation samples in the mail. Sabrina sent me a lovely collection of Hello!Lucky designs this week. Gorgeous!
- If you haven’t already spent several hours faux shopping on {Wishpot}, get to it! This fun shopping site allows you to create “wish lists” and even wedding registries. I plan to do more shopping this weekend, but check out the SW Featured Wishpot Gallery. Thanks, Christine, for interviewing me today.
Now, close your computer, pull out your bathing suit, get outside with the Slip’nSlide and have a fun weekend! ~Lara
