{Black + Nudes} New Bridal Trend

So, I am slightly obsessed with Bridal Fashion. I stalk designers blogs, keep up to date with trends, etc. So, when I came across Vera Wang’s new collection, I was left speechless. Will black and nudes be the new trend down the aisle? Her collection is absolutely breathtaking. The designs are exquisite, flowing with organzas, tules and chiffons. But, black/nude? I don’t doubt that the queen of bridal fashion will influence the trends off the runway. I actually expect to now see some of our brides wear some goth-inspired fashion. Like I said, the designs are beyond gorgeous. Vera Wang does not disappoint. And, being one of the top celebrity wedding dress designers (from Kim Kardashian, Khloe Kardashian, to Chelsea Clinton and Avril Lavigne), there is no doubt in my mind that we will see less ivory, and more gothic styles with blacks and nudes. What will you be wearing?

So, we’ve been shooting weddings for over 5 years now. And, there are songs at some receptions that make us want to sing along, some that make us want to take a nap, and then there are those that make us want to jump in the middle of the dance floor and dance along with the guests! So, we’ve come up with our own “Top 10″ songs for receptions! Of course, this will be an ever changing list. But, I always think that our Number One pick will forever be, NUMBER ONE… What do you think?Wedding Reception10. “I’ve Gotta Feeling” Black Eyed Peas
9.  “Party Rock Anthem” LMFAOWedding Reception 8. “Get on the Floor” Jennifer Lopez featuring Pitbull
7. “Tik Tok” Ke$haWedding Reception Dancing6. “I Like it” Enrique Iglesias featuring Pitbull
5. “Sexy Chick” David Guetta featuring Akon4. “Moves Like Jagger” Maroon 5 featuring Christina Aguilera
3. “Pumped Up Kicks” Foster the PeopleWedding Reception2. “Give Me Everything” Pitbull featuring Ne-Yo, Afrojack & Nayer

And, for number one… Drumroll please…

PS Photography’s pick for the Number One Reception Dance Songs is…

“Don’t Stop Believing” by Journey

I know that Journey’s song is not new, contemporary, or even from this decade. But, I will tell you something, whenever the DJ plays this song, the floor is jam packed as party goers sing along. I think it just a feel good song… And, it’s just an awesome song.

What do you think?  You can add to the list by leaving your comments below!

So, as wedding photographers, we see a lot of shoes.  Stuart Weitzman,  Christian Louboutin, Mischka Badgley and Betsey Johnson to name a few.  And, we see so many colors.  From blue to gold to pink!  But, the majority still wear the customary white shoes.  What do you think?  Is color too bold?  Is white too traditional?  Tell us your thoughts…

Art at a wedding…

Every once in a while, we get an order that surprises us.  The reason is because the picture they order is so different and abstract…  And, this is one of them.  During the course of a wedding or any event, we tend to get lots of photojournalistic shots, and they generally make it into the album.  But, rarely are they ordered to be hung up on the wall.  And, when they are ordered, it kinda makes me smile (in a proud way).  It’s hard to explain.  But, looking at this picture, it’s going to look amazing on their wall!  It’s more like art, rather than JUST a picture.  Love it!!!

“P” in action!

I snagged a few pictures of Patty recently and I thought I would share!  She gets into these yoga/matrix moves that just makes me laugh and shake my head.  This is her in action, throwing herself on the floor to get the shot!  Know one can deny that she’s got passion.

A “Wow” moment…

Many times, I find myself behind the computer working on images from a recent session, and I just have to say “Wow” out loud.  Whether anyone hears me or not is another story.  But, a few weeks back we did an engagement session for Danny and Adriana in West Palm Beach, and as I worked on the images, I heard myself say “Wow”.  What a beautiful picture!  And, I wanted to share that “Wow” moment with you.  Enjoy…Untitled-1

Now what?!?! Help with displaying your wedding photos.

The band played the last song, and your feet hurt. You take off your shoes, and your handsome groom sweeps you off your feet and on to your honeymoon! Now what? I mean, you have fabulous wedding photos that will last a lifetime. But, do you want them only in your album? No! Display them in your home! But how? That’s a great question.

The first step is to choose a space.  Whether you would like some framed photos on your side table or a wall that you can hang enlargements, you need to choose one spot and concentrate on that one area.

Second step is to decide on a budget.  If you set a budget, it can be easy to “dress your walls”.  And, choosing options like canvases can actually help cut your cost!  How?  Well, a canvas doesn’t need to get framed!  It’s ready to hang!  Or, even try an acrylic print!  Oh, what a statement!  And, again, it does not need framing!  Just hang it!

Last step is to choose your photos!  This can be a stressful step.  But, luckily, you have us!  Use us!  Ask us our opinions so we can help you make your home beautiful!  (Believe me, we have huge opinions!)

Hopefully, your home will boast memories of the most important day of your lives!

Can I make you smile?

So, I found myself smiling when I finished designing this album layout.  I mean, just look at it!  Doesn’t it make you smile?  Kori and Darrell decided to see each other before the ceremony so we could get some great shots of them.  And, my absolute fave is the one of Darrell cracking up!  I love it!  It’s so telling of the mood of their wedding!  So much fun.  I can’t wait to finish designing their album.

I can’t help but to reminisce on the past year.  What a year!  Traveled to New York City, twice!  Jamaica.  We did the first wedding at the new W Hotel South Beach.  We’re preferred vendors in several venues in Miami and Vero Beach. We have a new office in Coral Gables.  I mean, we really can’t complain.  And, our clients were so amazing!  And, I can already see next year being even more amazing to us.  Just thinking about it makes me anxious!

And, with 2010 around the corner, we reluctantly decided that our wedding pricing will increase.  With this increase you can expect better customer service which has always been number one priority for us.  We believe in close relationships with our clients, we strongly believe that good customer service has been the reason for our success.  So this coming year, we plan on bringing a third person on our team to help with editing and marketing so that we “P” and “S” can spend more time talking about wedding details with our oh so wonderful clients/friends.  So, if you are planning on having PS Photography document your wedding here is your warning, book us before December 31!  So now that we have released this not so good news here is a spoon full of sugar!  PS Photography is giving away one FREE wedding photography coverage to a 2010 bride.  There is a catch! You see, we love to travel and since we were spoiled in 2009 with destination weddings we want next year to be the same even better.  So to be entered in this FREE wedding photography coverage, not only do you have to have your wedding in 2010, but it also has to be a destination wedding.  To enter the contest, email info@psphotogallery.comwith your name, wedding details (location, wedding date, number of guests and lots of details) and attach a photograph of you and your fiance.  We will be announcing the winner on December 31, 2009 at midnight….WoooHooo…Happy New Year!
