I’m inspired every day by the couples that grace our pages, from the can’t-live-without-you grasps to the gentle sweeping away of a happy tear, the love that they so clearly have for each other is intoxicating, and drives me to create the best product possible … while enjoying every second of it.
Winter weddings warm our hearts, but when a blizzard trots into town on the weekend of your ceremony, there’s not much you can do about it. But that isn’t to say you can’t do anything to be prepared.

The talented soonlyweds also DIYed their own backyard Scrabble, checker boards, cornhole, Chinese lanterns, ring toss and more -- there was certainly no shortage of entertainment. "We are a very playful couple so we wanted a relaxed environment for our guests," says Amanda.

Shay and Giuliano wanted to capture their love at Shay's parents house, where their wedding would take place later in the year and where their horses were kept (which they included in the shoot, natch). Turns out, an older couple who were both artists lived a couple of miles down the road and boasted quite the art installation -- the bowling all field. That, paired with one of the most vivid sunset I've ever seen, makes for an engagement session that is a kaleidoscopic gem of inspiration.

The brides we featured this year had amazing style, so this Best Of 2015 category was particularly difficult to narrow down. We looked for brides who let their personality show in their style, whether that was through accessories, silhouettes or, even designing the dress themselves.
