Week of Love: Blessed Moments
I don't even have to tell you how hard it was to narrow down my fave moment photos from all of my submissions from the past year. I couldn't get down to 10 but I've did narrow down best I could! I rallied up what I could to best feature all the reasons why weddings are such blessings. I thought no better way to end the Week of Love than to stir up the heart with all that makes a wedding one of the best day in a bride and groom's life. :-)

All in all, things can go wrong on your wedding day, but it is hardly noticed by anyone else! Enjoy the moments!

Week of Love: Let Them Eat Cake!
Remember how I explained how I collect ring shots? Well I'm also obsessed with cake! Just like the ring shots, I have a whole board on Pinterest dedicated to cake. I have always loved cake as probably my most favorite food, so when I was planning my wedding designing my own wedding cake was naturally the thing I was most proud of. However, as I probably shared multiple times in the life of this blog, my cake was botched and the cake that appeared at my wedding was not the cake I designed and ordered. :-( Thus started my obsession with wedding cakes! So now it is not only my favorite food but one of my favorite images when I see weddings. :-) They make me giddy and they make me smile. You'll see how I couldn't even round up only 10 images from my submission archives, so enjoy these beauties that made their appearance on my blog!

Week of Love: The Unique Touch
I learned my lesson from yesterday in that I can't do just 5 photos so 10 photos it is! Again, these come from the submission archives of my blog. The element of weddings that I want to feature today is that touch that a bride brings to her wedding to make it her own. It's the details and ideas that I find so fun when looking at weddings! Decor, favors, food and pets! I love it all! We all know that it is truly about the marriage and the Love of the couple, but the details are what help a couple bring their unique selves to their guests. :-)

Week of Love: Ring Shots
It is no secret that I love ring shots! If you follow me on Pinterest, you'll know that I have a board specifically for ring shots. I'm not even sure why I collect the images really. I guess I just love when a photographer gets creative with it. I guess I love the bling. I guess I love a shot specifically devoted to the one material item in our lives of the most symbolic meaning possible. I was just going to pick 5 ring shots from my submission archives, but I went with 10. :-) Enjoy!

Why on Earth did I not think do do ring shots when I got married? Perhaps this is another reason why I can't get enough of ring shots! Which one (or ones) of these are your fave? Oh I know what would be fun! Check out my Pinterest board and share the link on the Wedding Pickle Facebook Page of one you love from there! I got 40 of them pinned and there a lot of creativity there! That and I'm always on Facebook even when I'm on vacation. :-)

Week of Love: The Love of a Man
My Christmas was sweet! I hope all of yours was too! Call my hubs and I crazy but we are spending our day today sitting in airports and airplanes to head cross country to sunny San Diego for a dear friend's wedding. I was just going to take this whole week that I'd be gone off, but I knew I just couldn't end 2011 without reflecting on anything at all! I have spent the month gathering the best posts from my archives and doing a lot of soul searching for the direction of this blog. One thing that I'm sure of is my love for Love and my obsession for Weddings! I decided to dedicate each day of this week to looking at what it is exactly that makes me love doing this blog and gawking at wedding and love things all the time. I'm calling it a Week of Love! This is also a chance for me to go back in review of many of my lovely engagement and wedding submissions from 2011.
Today is an element of Love that I never could get over. Every engagement shoot I'd look at from my submissions and on other blogs would leave me in awe and sometimes bewildered with one big question that my husband still cannot answer to me.
What is it about the woman you found that makes you love her? Ask any man that and he could probably spew off a long list of things. But my question is this:
What is that tingling, that exact moment and feeling that switches within a man's mind to get that ring and ask that beautiful question we women dream of, "Will you marry me?"
Men if you can answer that one, I want to know! I am fascinated by how a man melts to the woman he loves just to make her happy, to see her smile, and because he loves her. Seriously, how hard do we women work to get that sentiment out of our men? But when it comes to that engagement and wedding, they melt.
I remember doing our engagement shoot and my husband told me that he dreaded it and didn't want to do any silly fake kissing photos. When it came to it, he did them anyway without flinching! The love of a man gets him laying in the grass, doing silly poses, and doing cheesy things. Oh, how I love it!
