EMILY + PETER | lds hartford temple wedding with fresh frozen grass

There is literally no down-side to adding a vintage fur wrap to your wedding day look. None! You are 1) warm 2) stylish and 3) so huggable. It’s exactly what you want if your New England-y wedding is a few days after frigid temperatures have given EVERY surface a solid coat of ice. Emily and Peter followed me around the icy lawns of the Hartford Temple with a loud CRUNCH CRUNCH CRUNCH under our feet as we broke through the frozen grass with no complaints - I think something about getting married just minutes prior helps to make the cold more bearable. It was a chilly, happy, day!

TORI+JORDAN | LDS manti temple wedding and the wedding dress that hooked me on Downton Abbey

Me, watching Downton Abbey for the first time, texting my sister : "I LOVE Mathew. He is my favorite character. He is just so pure and GOOD."
My sister : "What episode are you on?"
Me : "Just started season 3 episode 7"
My sister : ".............."

I don't think I need to say anymore about that.

Tori's wedding is 100% the reason I started watching Downton Abbey. For serious. Before the big day, she had told me her dress was a little bit inspired by the show and we chose a bridal session location to match the era (you'll see those towards the end of the post). The wedding ceremony itself took place in the LDS Manti Utah Temple which is just SO castle-y that feels like it COULD have been off on some European hill top! 

Tori and Jordan's wedding was also featured on Utah Valley Bride.

HANNAH+BRAXTON | LDS nauvoo temple wedding with rolling green hills

REALLY THOUGH. After we finished our pictures around the grand doors and archways and pretty windows of the LDS Nauvoo Temple, we head out for the best - the rolling green lawn. Hannah kicked off her heels and her dress just GLOWED in the sunshine. It was unforgettable! I love this tiny town with its big, green, hill!
