With another slew of friends’ weddings on the docket I’m back to my old tricks – banking endless wedding shots for inspiration boards, color schemes and tips and tricks to help each bride-to-be.
When I came upon this shoot, styled by Le Fleur Weddings, it exceeded my inspiration worthy requirements. It made me do a double take. I wanted to dig into the detail of each shot – and each time I did, I spotted something I didn’t notice before.
And really more than anything, I loved seeing a whimsical play on the black and white combo that went beyond the traditional look of buttoned up black tie.

And then I realized the photography is by our wedding photographer, the uber-genius Jose Villa.
No wonder it was love at first site!
Check out a recent feature on Style Me Pretty for more shots of the fabulous fete.
Oh that parasol is just amazing! Love, love the crisp simplicity of black + white.
(makes me want, yet another wedding!)
I am loving the contrast of the black and white! But it isn't too much contrast, it's just perfect. Amazing photos!
These images are beautiful – I love a wedding…
This is beautiful ~
fun! Love the umbrella!
Beautiful pictures!!! I am really liking the black and white, which is a surprise because I usually am not a big fan.
Did you ever post pictures of your wedding?

Certain people are the hardest things to let go. But you are right, you cannot extract a person from an object. I find that being grateful for the time I had with the person brings joy and helps alleviate the grief.
