Moving Pictures

Have we mentioned how much we adore wedding videography?

Because we kind of totally completely adore wedding videography.

But why are we still talking (er, typing) when you could be watching this vow-worthy video from Kelly Arts: Films?

Meet Michael and Jenny. They move us.

The Perfect Sale

Ah, perfection. We meet again. 

We're referring, of course, to The Perfect Dress' annual Black Friday Sale. You know ...

... the day when your favorite designer gowns are on sale starting at $99. 

... the day when the FIRST 15 CUSTOMERS ON FRIDAY will receive an additional $100 off any sample gown of $299 or more.

... the day when a special bridal package will be offered (discounts on belts, accessories, embellishments, etc.) to customers who purchase their gown during the sale. 

... and the day when you just can't handle all the gorgeousness. (But you totally do anyway.) 

Here are the deets ...

Smooth Sailing

Now, this is the way to start off a week. 

Jen Turner, of Jennifer Ann Photography, shared this gorgeousness with Utah Valley Bride, and it'd be selfish to keep it to ourselves. 

The ever-lovely couple is Elise and Rainey, and the photos were taken at Deer Creek. 

Go ahead. Give your eyes a thrill.

Walk This Way

WE DO ... shoe-ins!

Those glimpses of fabulous footwear will knock your guests off their feet — which is no easy feat! (OK, we'll stop now.)
