The brisk fall weather is starting to set in and the Southern Weddings girls have traded out summer dresses and lemonade for sweaters and hot chocolate. While the days may be getting colder, our sponsors always warm our hearts (cheesy but true). We are so lucky to have such a fantastic, talented group of sponsors who enable us to share our love of weddings (and our love of the South) with you every day.
Poser Photography‘s Erik Clausen redefines what it means to strike a pose. “It’s not that poses are bad… it’s just that they are usually bad poses.” Erik has found the key to good poses, however, and it’s apparent in every one of his images. His attention to movement and creating lasting memories is unparalleled. Also, he wins my award for most creative website URLs… http://www.beaposer.com and http://www.imaposer.com.
Isha Foss is one of those amazing people who seems capable of doing almost anything. Based in Virginia, she plans fantastic events in Virginia and North Carolina as well as destination weddings worldwide. Specializing in custom event planning, Isha has all of the details covered–from linens to floral and beyond. Check out her blog and Twitter here.
The Southern Weddings girls are truly lucky to be able to call Jory Cordy as one of our dear friends. Jory is one of the kindest, most creative people we know. He really cares about his work (and it really shows in the images). His attention to detail is superb and his creative vision is truly unique. It’s hard not to fall in love with his work. Check out his blog and Twitter as well as Lara’s recent interview with him.
Kristen Alexander not only creates beautiful photos, she is also a beautiful individual. We love that she makes a point to get to know each of her couples before their wedding day; not surprisingly, her photos reflect what is important to each. Kristen Alexander is the perfect choice for brides who want personal attention. Be sure to check out her blog!
Delphine Press creates absolutely jaw-dropping letterpress creations. Delphine’s talented designers love custom orders: they’ve even been known to match a shade of ink to a bride’s favorite toothpaste! (True story.) Delphine Press relies on the centuries-old craft of letterpress to create truly elegant and luxurious invitations and stationary. Tweet at them and check out their inspirational blog.
It is worth being said again and again… our sponsors are stupendous, tremendous, amazing, fantastic, ultra-awesome, and all around fabulous. We believe in all that they do and wish to share their talent with you, our readers. Send a little SW love their way!

It’s too bad this contest ended when it did… I was part of a football-related email chain going around my family yesterday wherein one of my uncles described the University of TN’s football coach’s wife as "hotter than a 9-eyed stove" — I died laughing when I read that.
