I spend a lot of time looking at weddings and wedding related things, and I love living vicariously through my brides. I am constantly clipping out photos and ideas from wedding magazines, looking at other photographer’s wedding shots, and creating a “perfect wedding to photograph” in my mind’s eye. I would love to share some of the things that I am dying to shoot with you guys. So, without further ado, my Wedding Wish List ::
1. A bride wearing a fascinator/birdcage veil
2. A bride with long wavy hair (wearing it down, not in an updo)
3. a reception in a fabric-draped tent with chandeliers or paper lanterns everywhere!
4. a wedding with professional color wash lighting
5. a wedding in Venice! (hands down my favorite place on earth)
6. a wedding held at the Angel Orensanz in NYC
7. a white/black, all-white, or all one color wedding, where all the guests and vendors are asked to dress in the same color scheme. I got this idea from an all-white wedding the incredible Jessica Claire shot in Greece last year
8. a New Year’s Eve wedding! Complete with confetti and balloons at midnight!
9. a wedding with a full choir at the ceremony and a full jazz orchestra at the reception
10. A bridal session shot at the Old McKinney Cotton Mill
11. A Las Vegas engagement/bridal session.. That place is like a playground for photographers!
12. A scottish wedding - KILTS!
13. An outdoor wedding where the ceremony guests sit on pillows instead of chairs
14. A club lounge style reception, with artsy, fun furniture
15. 2-3 loooooong tables at a reception, instead of a bunch of small ones
So, if any of you are planning any of these things, let me know - I would LOVE to photograph your wedding!!

great list! and the blog looks great
An all-white wedding? Ohmigod! I love it…you totally gave me an idea. I asked for white on white decoration in the DR but it NEVER occuried to me that I could boss my guests in sticking with the white on white theme. I wonder if it’s too late to change! Dammit! P.S - I bought paper lanterns but I was going to try and control myself. I can go overboard.
Do it!!!! Overboard is usually photogenic
Here’s my wedding wishlist:
1.) Shoot with Stacy on every single one of these weddings.
