Statement necklace with a strapless gown.


This post is serving double duty: first, I adore Jess' big necklace with her strapless gown. I've been pondering wearing a big ol' vintage neckpiece, but wasn't quite sure it would work. Evidently, it does. Though I am still thinking that veil + statement necklace might be a bit much.

Secondly, I adore Jess' photos. Jess is a very popular knit-blogger, which is how I stumbled on her photos. I love, love, love how happy everyone looks in all of them, and how natural. No forced, cheesy 'we're quirky and having fun!' shots here. The photographer was Jenny Jiminez (based in Brooklyn), and you can see a few more shots over here. I'm definitely showing these to our photographer for 'inspiration'.

It is times like these I kind of wish I was Jewish. Hehe ;)

I love natural photos too! That stiff posing doesn't appeal to me at all! :)

Thank you so much for your kind words about my images! Jess and Chris were so much fun to shoot. Great people.

I'm actually based in Seattle but am originally a New Yorker and take any chance I can get to fly back and visit the family.

Thanks again and all the best to you with your wedding!

Haha, I hear you with the "we're quirky and having fun" photos getting taxing. I came across a blog today where the couple looked totally loveless, like they were on a photo shoot. That's not to say there weren't lots of lovey dovey photos that they chose to keep off the internet, but it did really hit home that planning my wedding is not about my table scape, it's about me and my fiance.
