A yellow wedding dress?

I say "oh hell yes."

It's always cool to see photos of weddings that took place in a personally relevant setting. I was so excited when I stumbled across this wedding from Heather of One Love Photo. I grew up spending most Christmas vacations on Isla Mujeres and Mr. Diagnosis Deferred and I celebrated his 30th birthday there in November. We even spent a few days at the very location of this wedding.
Heather takes a phenomenal photo, be sure to check out the rest of her blog as well.
This last photo is not technically from the wedding, but I couldn't help myself. I love a tiny dog in clothes.

He's much more than just a wedding photographer... In fact, he's just returned from a trip to a leper colony in Ethopia where he took stunning photos.

The way we were.

I've already told you about The Commons, on Flickr. I'm hoping you've had a chance to head over. Clearly, the New York Public Library's collection is my favorite collection.

Here are two shots of the South Street Seaport, the location of our reception.

I am completely enamored by old photographs. So, you can imagine my delight when I stumbled across The Commons on flickr thanks to Amanda of Peony::Love. I literally placed my hand over my mouth and let out a squeal.

Essentially, the project has two objectives; to increase access to publicly-held photography collections, and to provide a way for the general public to contribute information and knowledge. It is a huge public photography archive. I suggest you pour yourself a glass of wine and get to searching, there are so many brilliant photos to be discovered.

Photo idea

This photo was featured on oncewed.com. I can't decide whether it's better done during the engagement session or on the day of...

Either way, it's such a wonderful idea and I'm shamlessly stealing it.
