{Real Wedding} Dias Photo Fabulousness

One of the great things about working in this business is all the amazing people, vendors, crafters, artists, bloggers (FP <3) I get to meet.  Edson Dias over at Dias Photo is one such person. I met him and his lovely wife at a Beantown Bride event here in Boston and we seem to hit it off. He has a great eye, out of the box attitude, and a kickin' sense of style. The fact that he speaks some Portuguese doesn't hurt either.

Since then, I've had the opportunity to work with him, putting together several Real Wedding posts for his blog. What a pleasure and an honor to be able to pour over these photos and choose the very best of the best to be featured. I cry at every single one of them cause I am old softy at heart...and I am wedding obsessed, so I guess it makes sense. Go figure.

Here is the latest post, a beautiful summer wedding, with a spectacularly warm and simply gorgeous bride. Just take a look at her smile.

Real Wedding: Classic New England Summer Style 
For us here at Dias Photo, this is one of those wedding that just steals your heart; this couple is sweet and fun loving, we are just so happy for them and their wonderful families. It is a true ‘boy meets girl and the rest they say is history’ sort of story – from meeting in high school, to finally going on a first date in college, to the unexpected proposal by the reflecting pool at the Prudential Center, to a whirlwind wedding celebration full of personal touches, favorite dishes, and lots of family and friends.

So there you have it, my small contribution to a wonderful day for this sweet couple. Edson Dias of Dias Photo is the artist behind these photos. Check out his site, book him for a wedding and you won't be sorry. Don't take MY word for it, read the REST OF THIS STORY. It will melt your heart and YOU will be crying like an old softy too. 

Have a deLicious day. Go with the sweet stuff! 

{Real Wedding Round Up} Taj in Boston | Andover's Berry Pond | DIY in South Africa

I love looking over Real Weddings - seeing how others pull off their big day is a great way to dream and discover what is possible for yours. They inspire outside the box thinking, encourage courageous and creative choices, and bring tears to our eyes with their beauty and obvious love. 

For today's Real Wedding Round Up, here are three current favorites of mine: Sita + Anik at the Taj in Boston by Binita Patel Photography, Geoff + Dianna by DMPJ by Glen Cooper, and Bo + Ryan by Jacki Bruniquel of Durban, South Africa as seen on Wedding Chicks. 

Sita + Anik at the Taj in Boston

Every single one of Binita's weddings is festive, full of color and life and very simply, love. It doesn't get any more perfect than that. This wedding is one such occasion. You can't help but fall in love again and again and again.

Binita says, As she took those first few steps down Newbury Street and prepared to see her groom for the first time that day, you could just feel the excitement in the air.  And when Anik turned around to see he dazzling bride, the expression on his face was nothing short of awe.  They smiled, they laughed and they hugged and made an oh-so perfect pair as their silhouette glowed in front of Burberry.

Geoff & Dianna: A church wed, Scout songs, Mother Nature and even Chinatown

I simply love Glen Cooper and his group over at Decisive Moments Photojournalists - they produce some of the most colorful, heart thumping, smile inducing, sigh producing wedding photos. I feel really good inside every time I check out their blog. I chose this one because it is so REAL...not to be cliche...but it is genuine and honest, the way wedding photography should be.

Goeff and Dianna had one of those weddings where we covered so much ground from Medford to Andover and back to Chinatown in Boston for a reception celebration that won’t be forgotten. Any Boston wedding photographer would have loved these two and their free-wheeling spirit. Read and see more by DMPJ...

Handmade Wedding in South Africa 

We found this incredible adorable wedding by Jacki Bruniquel over at The Wedding Chicks and had to share it. It is DIY, sass, sweetness all rolled into one...oh yeah and a gorgeous bride to boot, who is as crafty as she is bold. Well done.

Bo is a California girl who fell in love with a South African boy and got married at the most beautiful gorge on the South Coast of Natal. Against all advice, Bo went with a red and purple theme and spent many hours on all the details. When she couldn’t find red polka dot fabric for the little girls dresses, she just made them herself! She had a very clear vision of what she wanted and actually made most the pretty details in this wedding herself (roping in family and friends of course). Read more here.... 

So there you have it, our Real Wedding Round Up, gorgeous wedding, exquisite details, all captured by the discerning eye of the photographer. Gosh, I wish I was getting married again...oh wait I am. Oh yeah...swoon.

Upcoming: An Engagement Reveal, Miss Aimee and Her Rockabilly Sweetheart, next week, all from the Emerald Isle and Edson Dias and Dias Photo soon to grace our little slice of blog heaven!

Have a deLicious day. Go with the good.
