We are loving this edgy coastal engagement shoot with lots of ink
Tanna and Michael’s edgy coastal engagement shoot was at sunrise(!) at Catherine Hill Bay, north of Sydney, Australia. An abandoned rusting pier and graffiti art was the first backdrop to capture the essence of these two inked up hotties.
And then it became pure, moody romance with the sun peeking out between clouds along the rocky shore.
Love has NO color
My color has always defined me for as long as I can remember. I am a very dark, black woman. If you’re aware of what’s been happening to my people and women (since the beginning of time) who look like me, you may know exactly what this means. I’M A VERY DARK, BLACK WOMAN — enough said. Being me comes with a lot of judgement and I’ve had my fair share of ridicule.
Cue years of self-doubt, years of undoing the very horrible thoughts you created in your head because you actually started to believe the things that were being spewed at you for years on end. Fast forward to my mid-twenties and cue the love of my life…
The trick to a fun wedding shower is a wickedly funny game (with a NEW expansion!)
Our favorite wedding-themed game (that’s ACTUALLY fun!) is back with a whole new expansion and we couldn’t wait to test it out and share our thoughts. If you haven’t already experienced Cads About Matrimony, it’s just what it sounds like: a Cards Against Humanity-approved game but with hilarious wedding, sex, and marriage-themed cards…
Remember when pear-shaped engagement rings were controversial? They’re not anymore…
Remember WAY back in 2001 when Carrie Bradshaw wigged TF out when Aidan planned to propose with a pear-shaped diamond on Sex and the City? The even weirder part was that she balked at yellow gold, which of course is back with a vengeance now. It seems like a very long time ago.
I wanted to see what was going on in the world of the pear and how weird and gorgeous and HUGE they could get. So I went a-hunting. I’m totally going to cheat by including some non-diamonds in here, too. Fight me. Let’s shop!
How our engagement photos dispelled my self image fears
Hey, I’m a wedding blogger who is engaged! You’d think I’d be ready for this, but naaaaah. See, like you and you and you over there, oh and that guy right there… I’m NOT super confident. So I decided that an engagement shoot might be just the ticket to help cure me of my center of attention apprehension. Here’s how it worked out…
How Padme and Anakin rocked their engagement photos
This couple rocked a stellar Star Wars cosplay shoot with Padme and Anakin in a Tatooine-like landscape. It was taken by JM Photography who were compelled to keep it under wraps until their Baywood Golf & Country Club wedding in Arcata, California. Geeky surprises are the best kind!
