Christina and Stephan chose Alba Vineyard & Winery in the Village of Finesville, New Jersey, for their romantic engagement session with Rita Rojas-Sullivan Photography. They had a picnic overlooking the gorgeous green vineyard and explored the winery, which is housed in a historic barn that was built in 1805.
Kalee and Tyler planned their late October wedding in Wilmington, Delaware, to be perfectly timed with the beautiful changing fall leaves. What they didn’t expect was snow! The night before the wedding, the weather forecast called for 2 to 4 inches of snow, ice and rain. The happy couple were more than willing to brave the weather outdoors for some really cool photos with Amber Shader Photography. Their wedding took on an unintentional “four seasons” theme ~ the photos capture the snow of winter, the rosebuds of summer, the cherry blossoms of spring and the leaves of autumn!

GigMasters.com (event entertainment booking service) recently announced its list of the Top Songs for 2012 weddings based on a survey of recently married and soon-to-be wed brides and grooms. As you’ll see, there are some old standards and classics, as well as some newer songs that topped the charts over the last year or so. What’s interesting is that more and more brides and grooms are taking a larger role in choosing their music, creating “Must Play” and “Do Not Play” lists for their musicians or DJs.
Top 5 First Dance Songs:
Top 5 Father/Daughter Dance Songs:
Top 5 ‘Do Not Play’ Songs:

As someone who’s always looking for something new to listen to, I thought I’d share one of my favorite covers of a song from this list. Enjoy!
Zahide and Edward had a beautiful and intimate DIY wedding at the Maitland Art Center on a sunny November day in Florida. I absolutely love the brilliant orange rose arrangements ~ they scattered the bright petals along the aisle, too. The ceremony reflected what means most to the couple: family and friends. The elegant simplicity of their wedding is truly beautiful, and Melissa T Photography captured every moment.
