Daily Destination | Bokel, Germany with Roland Michels

Thursday December 9th

Sabine & Soeren

This countryside wedding began with portrait and getting ready shots, by Germany-based photographer Roland Michels, at Sabine’s home. Her father has a vast collection of classic mopeds and tractors, so the thought of arriving at the church, located in Brande-Hörnerkirchen, via tractor crossed her mind, but instead Sabine’s father arranged for her to arrive in a vintage Mercedes Adenauer courtesy of a family friend.

After the ceremony everyone traveled to Ringhotel Bokel-Mühle am See for an evening full of dinner, drinks and great company. Before the reception, Roland and the newlyweds managed to snag a few rustic shots along the hotel property. The dock overlooking the picturesque Lake Bokel set the scene inside the pavilion where dinner was served. Guests toasted to the couple’s future and enjoyed each other’s company all night long.

Congratulations, Sabine & Soeren! For more of Roland’s great work, visit his blog.

Publicity | Travel Inspiration Board on Cupcakes & Cutlery

Wednesday December 8th

I’m excited to announce that Cupcakes & Cutlery has featured an inspiration board showcasing our photographers today! Cupcakes & Cutlery is a blog filled with fabulous planning inspiration and trendy finds. I first contacted Sharon, the wonderful voice behind Cupcakes & Cutlery, back in October after she was featured on Hi-Fi Weddings as a Mix-Tape Master. We linked a Halloween-inspired playlist she created for our Halloween blog post. As a fellow lover of The Smiths, I knew we’d make wonderful industry friends. She explains, “Some women like shoes, I enjoy a well designed, coordinating party pack and look forward to sharing those finds with you.” Click on the image below for a see to our inspiration board which features work from Alison Yin, Corbin Gurkin, Emma Dodge Hanson, Emily Anderson, Craig & Eva Sanders, and Matthias Richter, and hear what Sharon has to say about Cake & Pictures:

We’re also happy to announce that this will not be our only inspiration board featured on Cupcakes & Cutlery. Stay tuned throughout December and January for more inspiration boards!

If you have any requests or ideas for inspiration boards to post on our blog, feel free to send me an email.

Daily Destination | Los Cabos, Mexico with Dino Gomez

Wednesday December 8th

Liz & Sergio

It’s awful chilly here in the Northeast, so I figured featuring a wedding in hot Los Cabos, Mexico would help warm us up! And, boy was I right. Today we’re featuring both Liz & Sergio’s wedding and day after session with Mexico-based photographer Dino Gomez.

Let’s start with the ceremony, which was held at the Sheraton Hacienda del Mar Golf & Spa Resort’s chapel. Wedding planner Karla Casillas took care of all the details from white flowers scattered down the aisle to the unity candle perfectly placed on the altar. Later, the reception took place at the Cabo del Sol Club House where guests celebrated the love. Karla’s talent for timing struck again when she queued the mariachi band to play before the dinner. Guests enjoyed drinks and dancing throughout the evening as well as cake for dessert.

The next day, Dino met with the newlyweds on the sandy beaches of Los Cabos for some day after shots. Liz is truly a beauty as she lets her hair down and splashes Sergio with water! I love these two frolicking on the shore.

Congratulations, Liz & Sergio! For more of Dino’s great work, visit his photo gallery.
