A gentleman and his umbrella

With rainy fall days ahead of us, I can't help but think that some of the best captured moments at weddings in the fall involve an umbrella.  I love the gentlemanly charm of holding an umbrella over your Mrs, and how incredible that brief interlude can look when captured in black and white!

Lover.ly

Yesterday was the launch of Lover.ly.  The brain child of several wedding blogs including: Grey Likes Weddings, The Wedding Chicks, Southern Wedding Magazine, Snippet and Ink, and many more.  Their content is featured Pinterest style, you can love or bundle (much like pinning) photos.  Search by colors like Cabernet, cobalt, blush, and slate; styles such as vineyard, rustic, classic; or by categories such as flowers, bridal gowns, cakes, and stationary.  They even sort their content by popular, categories, and featured.  Happy pinning bundling.
