Want to take your wedding gown around the world?

You know how I've started taking photos of my engagement and wedding rings when I travel?? See them in Mexico, Arizona and Anguilla?

Here's a neat story from Brides.com about a photographer husband who is photographing his bride in her wedding gown on all their travels!






I think this is such a fun idea. Lucky for her, her dress packs light! Check out TwoFeetGallery.com for more photos and scoop on a coffee book they're making.

No More Wire Hangers: The Must Have Accessory for Every Wedding Gown!

So you've got the gown of your dreams and you've run through the getting ready photo list with your photographer, right? Here's a little tip that you might not have thought of...make sure your wedding gown has a pretty hanger to accompany it in all those wedding dress photos!

Looking for a unique destination for your engagement photos?

The Globetrotting Groom and I are back Arizona and I'll be posting several entries about our fun-filled trip. Aside from the amazing destination wedding locations in Sedona (stay tuned...), I uncovered a really fun spot for engagement photos in Phoenix.

If you're thinking about a destination engagement shoot with a Southwest flavor, you'll want to check out the Desert Botanical Garden. Now through May 31, they've got a really cool and colorful Dale Chihuly: The Nature of Glass exhibit going on. Aside from the amazing desert backdrop (hello skyscraper cactus!), how cool are these ginormous glass sculptures?
