marriage tips for grooms…
I’ve been married for 19 years. N I N E T E E N Y E A R S!
Considering my husband initially asked me to marry him in my parent’s bathroom, he’s lucky I’m still around.
So when I came along this little gem (thanks Rayna Ortwein with Always Planned), I had to share. Growing up with all brothers, I know that men like to get advice from other men.

morning after pictures…

Is there a new trend for wedding photography? There may just be.
Have your wedding photographer come to your hotel suite for a potentially sexy “Morning After” photo session. Just the bride, groom and your photog. At least that is what the msn.com article said.
Intrigued to learn more, I contacted the photographer, Michelle Jonne. She gave me the low-down on this super cool concept:
“The Morning After” does not take place the night or next day of your wedding for multiple reasons: 1) we respect the wedding night and do not want to photograph any sexual acts 2) we do NOT want to photograph couples that are hung over 3) the photos are done in a tasteful manner and are meant to be implied, playful, sensual, edgy and tasteful all in one. The Morning After not only has to be for newlyweds but any couple in love and wants to capture it. I think it can be used as a tool to re-ignite the fire in ones relationship, celebrate an anniversary.
I totally concur, Michelle. Now at first I was a little doubtful. But realize this is more of a staged photo shoot and is a just a beautiful reflection of a couple’s love. Whether you want it to round out the wedding photo album or frame on your bedroom wall around your anniversary.
Check out this love that Michelle captured:
What do you think? Would you be up for it?
ps You should know that most wedding couples are usually so tired from partying the night before that the morning of starting new lives together is when they actually get to, er, consummate the marriage. Now THAT would be a whole different type of photography session.
