Real Engagement: Ayla + Nino

While typically I don’t feature engagement shoots, occasionally there is one that comes along with a great concept that catches my eye and makes me think that IB readers would be just as inspired by it as I am. Today’s shoot from KLK Photography is such a case. This underwater engagement session is a lot [...]

Real Invitations: Marta + Joshua

How lovely are these invitations, designed by my coworker Marta Harding? Marta was married late last year, and I stumbled across her invitations thanks to Allan Peters when he featured some of her work on his blog. I somehow never tire of the ribbon shape, and the shade of blue is perfect in my book! [...]

I love how they documented this simple but lovely wedding, which has one of the coolest rustic-style cakes I’ve seen in a long time (so charming!). I’m also digging the refined-meets-organic look [...]
