Simply Modern Weddings

that’s why i am so overjoyed at the new utterly engaged “tear jerker” issue! you must must must check it out right now….like this instant!

this collection of images are definitely beauty.art.emotion all in one. when i dreamed of photo friday images to feature…these are the kind of images that would catch my attention. they are the reason that we hire photographers to capture our weddings, because they can catch these soft, tender, quiet moments as well as the ones of fun, laughter, and joyousness! also i love all the featured sweet stories, videos, the surprise proposal, the groom’s letter to his bride on the wedding day. i just love it all!

moments to last a lifetime…isn’t this what weddings are about?!

i am beyond honored that the utterly engaged gals included 2 of our weddings in the photo spread, as well as aaron & barbara’s beautiful wedding video! (p.s. what magazine do you know features video? that’s why i adore the whole concept of utterly engaged e-zine!)

for more touching images, check out issue #007!

2009 has been a year for many thanks…but i will share one that means the most to me and my family. i am so very thankful to god for allowing challenges in our lives, to show how strong we are to overcome them.

what are you most thankful for this year?

today’s touching photo by jerry yoon is definitely something to be thankful for: love, family, a new beginning!

my name is christina, i am 29, and i am in love the twilight saga…yup no shame over here! no shame that we bought our tickets for last night’s midnight showing a couple months ago. no shame that yesterday i wore my cute little “alice-inspired” outfit with the same velvet cullen family crest necklace she wears in the movie. no shame for waiting outside the theater 3 hours last night with my chair and laptop alongside my hubby, good friend yvett and her brother ryan. no shame that as soon as the movie started i screamed with delight. yup, that’s right….like i said, my name is christina and i love twilight!

in honor of new moon’s release today, i had to showcase this super cool “twilight-inspired” photoshoot shot by pure photography by lindsey tropf. now if you are familiar with the series, it’s not meant to be a replica of the story…but it’s definitely a fun twist!

ps. i am team edward…what about you?

over the past year, i have developed a crazy love affair for short wedding gowns.

not only are they just adorably sweet and fun, i also love how you can really show off those super cute shoes that you spent forever looking for. top off your look with a flirty birdcage veil…and you are one chic bride!

so in honor of my short gown love affair, i just had to feature this beautifully timeless shot by corbin gurkin!

happy friday and happy “almost” halloween! in honor of tomorrow, i had to share this super cute photo shot by jasmine star!
