Hello, my lovelies! I’ll be taking a quick hiatus as summer winds down to finish up some work on a new version of The Loveliest Day, which I’ll be launching soon! It will have a new look, better navigation, be more user friendly, and have lots of other fun bells and whistles for you. I’m REALLY excited about it, and I hope you will be as well once you see it:)
We will be coming up on The Loveliest Day’s 3-year blog anniversary in several months, and with that, I think it’s also time to start accepting sponsored ads! That will be another new aspect you can look out for.
So, with all that said- I’ll see you back here soon!!!

I love when I receive a submission that has a sweet story to go along with it, and that’s exactly what I got with Philip + Angela’s adorable engagement session, sent over by Chelsea Dvorak Photography! Here is what Chelsea shared about this lovely couple and their session, which was inspired by their long distance relationship, and the cross country journey it took for them to finally be together…
“Philip and Angela kind of meet through different turn of events, and they never thought it would led to forever and always. The thing was Philip lived all the way in Washington (the STATE!) and Angela was all the way in North Carolina. Although most people think long distance relationships never work, these two knew this was something so special. Angela wrote to me in one of her first emails “I guess we just knew each other was an answer to long-time prayers, and we just love each other so much! He’s really everything I’ve always prayed for, hoped for, and wanted in a guy that I’d spend my life with. He’s so sweet and kind, has a great friendly and positive personality, and is a great match for me, plus he has dimples!” So after a time dating from far away, Philip decided to pick up his life and move all the way to NC so he could be near Angela. Almost a year later and Philip proposed to Angela! As a photographer I have never seen two people more in love.”

Hello, all! I hope your week is off to a good start and that you all had a wonderful weekend. It was a scorcher here, over 100 degrees, but that (and the surprise rain storm that came out of nowhere) didn’t stop the wedding I styled on Saturday at the beautiful Temecula Creek Inn from going off without a hitch! It was gorgeous, and I always love seeing a happy couple tie the knot:) Congrats to Jenna + Eric!!!
It will be awhile until I have their wedding photos to share with you, but I do have another fantastic wedding to share with you today. Lana from Deep Grey Photography sent Kate + Dave’s lovely Australian wedding over, and I can’t get enough of the great light and pretty soft colors in these photos. Mixing shades of pale colored neutrals for the bridesmaids is always a fave of mine!
Vendors-
Photographer: Deep Grey Photography
Venue: Albert River Wines
Videography: Motion Art

I hope you enjoyed seeing Piper + Tyler’s lovely wedding from the perspective of Abi Q Photography yesterday. Today it’s time to show you the same wedding, but this time from the eyes of Richelle Dante Photography! Here is what Richelle had to say about her philosophy and approach to shooting a wedding…
“My goal when shooting a wedding is for couples to look back at their photos 10 years later and still be able to remember how they felt that day. I love capturing emotion, whether it’s a tear in the groom’s eye when he sees his bride for the first time, or when the ceremony is over, he adoringly looks at his bride, his new wife. A quiet moment embracing each other, or a father looking at his daughter with pride during the father daughter dance… this is what the wedding day is about. I also love getting all the details. Couples spend months planning their wedding and when the day comes, sometimes they don’t really get to see all the prettiness of their day and that’s when I come in handy!”
And some advice for all you brides and grooms-to-be out there…
“When picking a photographer, go with someone whose style you love AND who you feel comfortable with. If you aren’t comfortable with your photographer, you won’t get the images you have seen and love on their website. Your photographer is with you for a big part of your wedding day so you definitely want to make sure you like them. :) Doing an engagement shoot is a great way to get to better know your photographer so on your wedding day, it almost feels like a friend.
If photos are truly important, this might be the one area you don’t want to stick to your budget. You find the photographer of your dreams but they are slightly over budget, what do you do? Find a way to make it work, which mean you might have to cut back on something else. Your photos last forever! Your children, grandchildren and great-grand children will see them and get a peek into your life before they existed. You want photos that you love and that will always remind you of the wonderful memories of your wedding day! So please, don’t have your friend that just got a nice camera shoot your wedding! It is an investment that will last beyond your lifetime and it is worth it!”
Again, thanks so much to Richelle and Abi for sharing with us these past two days, and a huge congrats to the bride and groom, Piper + Tyler!!!
