October was a great month last year.  Perfect weather.  Tons of great sessions.  Many many favorite photos.  Feast your eyes on this bumper crop of stunning imagery.

I’ll start this post with the obvious disclaimer that I am a guy.  That entitles me to ignorance on certain topics such as, when wearing white shoes is taboo, not knowing what the Kardashians ar up to, and being unclear on fork etiquette.  Having said that, I LOVE it when girls put fancy cool things in their hair at weddings.  I don’t know what any of these are called, but I know they are fun to photograph and make you look cooler than the average bride.  Here are some of my favorites from past brides.

But wait, you say.  Where can one find such plumy hair goodness?  I’m sure you already have this site bookmarked but if not may I introduce you to Etsy.
(Get ready to lose 2 hours of your day.)  Here are just a few of the fancy hair clip dealy-boppers they offer.  Have fun ladies.

Kim & Josh were one of my favorite couples I’ve been able to shoot.  You may recognize them from my promo video on my About page.
I had a chance to catch up with Kim about 1 year after her wedding.
She shared her thoughts on picking vendors, what to look for in a photographer, and a few budget tips.

Also, here is a list of some of her wedding vendors which she loved so much as well as a few favorites of mine from each of her sessions. :)

Cakes: Chez Bazan
DJ: CMB DJs
Flowers: Michele’s Flowers by Ela
Venue: Villa di Felicita
Videography : Vanessa McKellar Productions

Megan’s fiance coaches basketball. :)  We had some fun with that.

One of my most favorite-ist shots ever.

Once the session was done I asked Megan what she had planned for her bouquet.  She didn’t have anything in mind so we came up with this.
