Auburn Engagement by Matt and Jentry: Photographers

On The Go Bride — Wed, 22 May 2013 13:34:20 +0000

Auburn is one of my favorite little towns in California. The quaint and picturesque scenes make for some great photos like this Auburn engagement session by Matt and Jentry: Photographers. From the brick buildings to the gorgeous green park, I can’t decide which is my favorite!

Indiana + Chad

From the photographer: Indiana and Chad are getting married in Tahoe City in the Fall, but they chose Auburn, CA as the destination for their engagement photos this Spring, since it’s Indiana’s hometown. We explored Old Town Auburn and found some lovely spots for photos, from little parks with budding blossoms to the historic courthouse to little brick-lined alleyways. Indiana and Chad are so relaxed and comfortable with each other, and you can tell that are just so in love with each other, and they chose a gorgeous place for their photos!

Pink and Green Wedding Inspiration

On The Go Bride — Tue, 21 May 2013 14:39:25 +0000

There is something about a vintage lace dress and a single flower that I absolutely adore! That bridal portrait was the inspiration for this pink and green wedding board! I am absolutely loving this color combination. The lovely pink paired with bright shades of green are the perfect pair. The color palette truly makes for some gorgeous floral combinations! What do you think of this color palette?

Loving this fun, urban, downtown Los Angeles engagement session by Andy Bang Photographers. This couple is absolutely adorable and full of love!

From the photographer: Drew and Allison are two cute peas in a pod. They each work at high-stress jobs and yet find the time to make their relationship work.

Lake Tahoe Wedding by U Me Us Studios

On The Go Bride — Thu, 16 May 2013 15:11:27 +0000

This lovely bride and groom were living outside of the US in Germany during the time they were planning their Lake Tahoe wedding. Having first started their romance in South Lake Tahoe, there was no better place for the two of them to tie the knot! Having started their relationship long distance for the first two years, these two were no strangers to using technology. Utilizing Skype, this couple was able to connect with their vendors to plan for their big day. I have to say I think it turned out lovely, don’t you? I am loving those florals and the yellow and blue color palette! Did you see the puzzle piece bride and groom cake topper? How fun! Thank you U Me Us Studios for this wonderful submission!

Plum and Coral Wedding Inspiration

On The Go Bride — Tue, 14 May 2013 15:04:11 +0000

I wasn’t too sure about this plum and coral wedding inspiration when I started putting the board together, but the more I look at it the more I love it! How gorgeous would this color combination be with some lovely gold accents? Plum is one of my favorite shades of purple. I love the sophistication it adds to an event. Coral is also a great shade and compliments the plum well. What do you think of this color combination?

There is so much to love about this Chico, California wedding by Kim James Photo. The bold bright colors, the brides gorgeous dress, and how about that stunning hairpiece? Those feathers give such a wow factor! The bridal party looks great in neutral gowns with pops of color brought in with the shoes and bouquets. This bride brought in her crafty side by making all of her centerpieces, table runners, and the jelly guest favors.
