Cover Finalist :: Anna Kim

by Emily in Inspirations, Main on December 16, 2010

Only a few more cover finalists to go now, but hasn’t it been so neat seeing the different directions photographers took with the same inspiration? Even though Anna Kim is based in Hawaii (which I suppose could be considered Southern…?), she produced a beautiful, Southern Weddings-perfect shoot that we’re thrilled to show off today. Check out all the loveliness in the gallery!

This one was one of my favorites! I loved her use of vibrant color and clarity – and the moments were so real!

Oh wow. This really caught my eye! I think it was the bouquet at first, and then I looked closer… I loved the colours. And the couple look great together!

Announcing :: NEW Ad Options + Ad Winners!

by Katharine in Main on December 16, 2010

Hey, SW sponsors: have we got some good news for you!

Shortly after launching the new site, it became clear that it wasn’t just our readers who were head-over-heels in love with SW 2.0, but also our advertisers. Sponsors loved the new, clean layout and streamlined design, the fun interactive features and, of course, the bigger + better ads and revamped Wedding Resource Directory.

In fact, y’all loved the new ad options so much that we didn’t have enough space to accommodate everyone, and we hated having to turn away some truly fantastic vendors. Our solution? Give the people what they want!

Yes, by popular demand, we’ve redesigned the Southern Weddings banner options. To your right, you’ll see we’ve added two new sections to help fit every need and budget.

To go along with our new ad spaces, we naturally had to beef up our media kit, so it’s prettier + awesome-er than ever!

Cover Finalist :: Mandy and Me

by Emily in Main on December 15, 2010

One of the first photography studios to turn in their cover images was Mandy and Me, and when we saw their work, we breathed a sigh of relief: we were definitely on the right track! It was a little scary, you know, trusting our cover to shoots we had very little involvement with, directed by photographers we had, in some cases, never worked with before. Mandy and Co. hit the nail right on the head, however, with their fun, carefree shoot in the perfect shades of orange and blue. Be sure to check out the rest of the images in the gallery!
