Something Borrowed {Dallas-Plano-Frisco Wedding Photographer} Johnita Salerno

Something Old, Something New, Something Borrowed, Something Blue
As a photographer, I enjoy seeing the wedding day blossom into the beautiful day that has been planned by the bride and groom. Usually when I come into the picture (I know the pun), the colors may not be selected, the favors are ideas, and the cake is definitely not tasted. It is fun to see how the bride and groom's personalities come through on the wedding day.

It has been a lifetime ago that I planned my wedding, however, I still daydream through the bridal magazines, websites, and books. It seems more resources are available to brides now from printing your own invitations to making your own favors. Handmade is the new trend and I love a good handmade find. So when I saw these little birds nest, I feel in love. They are modern with a kiss of vintage. Attach it to a ring pillow and the love birds can take flight.

Something New {Dallas-Plano-Frisco Wedding Photographer} Johnita Salerno

Something Old, Something New, Something Borrowed, Something Blue

Something New for our studio is offering boudoir sessions for the bride. Boudoir sessions are discreet, tasteful lingerie sessions. Great gift to the groom.

We also offer party packages for the bachelorette party too.

Happy New Year and

are Congratulations in order??? The Holidays are a great time for engagements. The excitement builds and the to-do list starts spinning around in your head. Where do you start?? More importantly, what will you remember?

The cake is gone, your dress put away, your flowers have faded, yet photographs still help you relive those cherished moments years after the grand event.

Things to think about when planning your day.
1. Seeing each other before the ceremony for photos
2. Time of Day for the wedding
3. Having your makeup professionally applied for the day...even if you are wearing light coverage
4. Use your photos for favors for the guests
5. Colors and Dresses flattering for the bridal party
6. Trends come and go...be true to yourself
7. After selecting date and venue, get your photographer booked :)
8. How you will display your photos in your home together
9. Relax and let your photographer guide you
10. Have Fun!!

Lets Get Inspired...

You are ready to plan your wedding. You think about colors, dress, flowers, budget, the list of what to do and when to do it, who to invite, when to contact vendors, etc, etc. How do you make a plan? Do you know your style? Where do you start? How about an inspiration board!

Start with what you like: your colors, your dress, your cake. Collect images from magazines, websites, books and then create an inspiration "folder" to share with your florist, your baker, your photographer.

From my earliest memories, I loved colors, textures, trends, and "pretties." I created my inspiration "folder" instead of a inspiration board. (You know I could not be limited.) I called this folder: the Three P's...Pink, Purple, Plum. I would look through magazines for inspiration and ideas. If the "pretties" caught my eye, I added it to my collection. I still look days when I can browse through magazines and books to spot my "pretties". Yes, my color choices have changed a bit, my style is a bit less frilly but the inspiration is all the same. I love to see what inspires my brides so I feel the excitement and can then inspire you again.

Now, I have found a great little site that you can play on to create your own inspiration board. I have to admit I loved mixing and matching the photos. I created a sample of a gray and plum collection...plum was last year but I just can't let it go after all these years. Enjoy and inspire yourself!

The A's have it.....

Avanti and the new Angelones.

You would never have guessed that mother nature was toying with this couple. She teased a bit with winds and dark clouds...then the clouds parted and the fairy tale began.

The deep blue dresses with a touch of hot pink captured our eyes and the shoes stole the show...
