Tas & Diraj’s Wedding Celebration – Vancouver, British Columbia Canada
Filed Under Canada, Destination Weddings | 8 Comments
Kristel Wyman’s work always blows me away, but I have to admit that when I saw her photos from Tas & Diraj’s wedding, I was left gasping. They are truly, in every sense of the word, breathtaking. This post is very heavy with images, but can you really blame me? One of my all time favorite photographs is down at the very end.
Their wedding was a three day Indian wedding event in Vancouver, British Columbia. It started with a Mendhi Ceremony on the first day.
On the day of their wedding ceremony at the Mosque, Tas & Diraj made a point of having a lot of time set aside for portraits. Having a lot of creative, more editorial photographs was very important to them, and so they spent a lot of time planning with Kristel. Communicating what you want to your photographer is *so* essential! They will have great tips and advice to help you make the most of the day.
The third day of the wedding celebration was the reception, and these were the first photos I saw that left me blown away when I first saw them. *swoon!* Isn’t Tas’s Melissa Sweet dress incredible?
I love them all, but if I had to pick a favorite one, I think the one below would be it. This is Ali Milner performing at their reception at the Vancouver Art Gallery. Kristel’s vision of the world is just so incredible!

Belen & Alex’s Wedding in Spain
Filed Under Destination Weddings, Spain | Leave a Comment
Belen & Alex met and were married in Marbella, Spain. The location for their wedding was the stunning Hotel Puente Romano in Marbella, where they both would go in the summers with their families, whom both have another home in Marbella Spain and would vacation at this location … this is where they met. Such a perfect venue to start the next chapter of their lives.
They currently live in Madrid, Spain. Alex is an amateur photographer who has an amazing appreciation for art, as does Belen.
The video below is from their wedding and was created by the amazing and super talented Joel Serrato of Joel Serrato Films. Joel traveled to Spain to create a Super 8mm Film for Belen & Alex, capturing the beauty of their wedding day. Super 8 is perfect for this wedding, as it gives everything a vintage, timeless feel. Just incredible!

Be sure to also check out the scenic Holga shots that Joel captured while traveling in Spain, and if you’re up for it, you can also watch his Super 8mm Film of Plaza de Toros de Malaga (warning: he rated it PG-13)
Thank you Joel for sharing their wedding with us, and best wishes to Belen & Alex as the start this journey of their life together!

Bride$hare™ – a Brilliant Idea!
Filed Under Decorations, Jewelry, Planning Tips, The Dress | Leave a Comment
I was so excited this week to learn about Bride$hare™, the fantastic creation of Dana LaRue, the bride behind The Broke Ass Bride. If you’re looking for tips on planning your wedding on a budget, well … as you can guess, the Broke Ass Bride has them!
The inspiration for Bride$hare™ started like this:
Way back when, Rebecca saw a blog post of mine lamenting the desire for paper lanterns to spruce up the space at my venue, and she contacted me to suggest we go in on them together and share them. That was just the beginning. Together, we were able to co-purchase and recycle many items from our weddings, which went perfectly with Hunter and my mission to both save green and be green in our wedding plans! In fact, the reception venue owner likes them so much, she might even buy them off of us after the fact and keep them up, which means future brides can benefit from them, too! My bridal karma meter must be off tha charts, son!
Hunter & Dana were married back in May, and in early July they went back to their same venue to enjoy their decor all over again – as guests at Rebecca & her husband’s wedding! Dana & Rebecca shared $4000 worth of expenses – saving them each $2000, AND doing something good for the environment by not buying duplicates of the same items!
Dana knew a great thing when she saw it, and has since set up the BrideShare™ site as a way for other couples to save money on their wedding plans and have a wedding with a smaller carbon footprint at the same time.
The Bride$hare™ site is described as part social networking and part wedding planning. Bride$hare™ offers brides the opportunity to team up and share the daunting task, and costs, of wedding planning while creating less waste – addressing three top priorities of brides’ current economy.
While Dana is getting most of the mad props in this post, I want to share some with her fabulous husband, Hunter, as well. Because he has to be supportive and wonderful to stand beside her as she took on creating Bride$hare™, but also because this video he made cracks me up *every* time I watch it. He is mad creative, I tell you!
