Eunhye + Herbert – Posh Ft. Lauderdale Hyatt Regency Pier 66 Wedding

Posted by (once like a spark) on Apr 26, 2012 in (oncelikeaspark), new england, southeast, weddings | 0 comments

We love, love, love bringing you posh, modern weddings, and do we have a gorgeous one for you today! Graham, our over-the-top talented New England photographer, hopped on a plane and flew all the day down to Ft. Lauderdale to shoot Eunhye + Herbert’s big day. It’s a little hard for us Georgia girls to showcase some of these photos – Let’s just say that Herbert is a HUGE sports fan, and these two are University of Florida alums. Look close, and you’ll see some Gator chomps and some major Tebowing (ha!) Eunhye + Herbert chose to have both their wedding and reception at the Hyatt Regency Pier 66, and the venue could NOT have been more gorgeous. The soft light, the to-die for flowers, and the city views made for some pretty sweet ambiance…. Even with all of the glitz and the glam, Eunhye and Herbert had to include some elements of their alma mater and Southern roots, and they did so in blue and orange seating cards, and an amazing BBQ rub as a favor (the packaging was perfect!) These lovebirds have actually been together 12 years (!!) and this wedding was a celebration that was a long-time coming. We’re so glad that you guys chose Graham and (once like a spark) to be a part of it all! xoxo

Gina + Tony :: New England Wedding : Part 2

It’s here, it’s here!! We know you’ve been waiting with baited breath for Part 2 of Gina + Tony’s beautiful, beautiful, beautiful New England wedding, and for good reason too! If you did happen to miss Part 1, be sure to go check it out now and then head back here. All of us at OLAS have been absolutely fawning over G + T’s couple’s shots, because they’re seriously so stunning. The golden evening sun, paired with that amazing venue AND such a beautiful couple, were the true triple whammy. Graham (our phenomenal NE photographer) really knocked this one out of the park. He did such a great job capturing all the special little moments between the G + T, and we feel the photos really speak to how much they love each other (like they could hide it!). It was also really important to Gina and Tony that the architecture and rustic-ness of the venue be showcased, and we’d say Graham captured all aspects flawlessly. The whole day feels like it stepped right out of the set of a Midsummer Night’s Dream – the architecture, the gardens, the light, candles, ornate decor, everything really – we love every single bit of it.

G + T – thanks for letting us play a part in such an important and meaningful day in your lives – we couldn’t be more honored. x’s & o’s

Gina + Tony :: New England Artisan Wedding :: Part 1

Posted by (once like a spark) on Apr 16, 2012 in (oncelikeaspark), new england, weddings | 0 comments

Get ready folks, it’s time for Part 1 of Gina and Tony’s artisan New England wedding and man.is.it.beautiful. Our crazy, talented NE photographer, Graham, made the trip out to Connecticut for the two love birds’ big day, and he did such an amazing job!! Gina + Tony were quick to let us know that they were true lovers of art and wanted the photographs from their wedding day to reflect that. As this is what we excel at (and LOVE!), we were more than happy to oblige. :) Everything about G + T’s wedding depicts this love of intrinsic & artistic beauty. Just wait until you see the venue. They were married at the Bill Miller’s Castle in Branford, CT, which brims with rustic charm, lots of history and gorgeous architecture, and beautiful gardens to boot. We like to call that a photographer’s dream! Gina chose fuchsia, black, white, and hints of green to complete the entire look – and it sure was stunning. Be on the look out for some truly amazing couples shots coming to you in Part 2!

We brought you Part 1 of Melissa and Andrew’s drop-dead gorgeous classic New England affair, and now it’s time for Part 2. Our Chicago photographer, Roya, made the trip out East specifically for the occasion, and we are SERIOUSLY loving these ceremony shots. The emotion is so evident through these photographs, and we are swooning over Melissa and Andrew’s reception (be sure to check out the Japanese lanterns and the gorgeous calligraphy!)

You may remember Alyssa + Shaun’s gorgeous nautical wedding (Part 1 + Part 2) shot by our New England photographer Graham at one of our favorite venues – The Commandant’s House in Charlestown, MA. Just a few short weeks later, (once like a spark) was back at the Commandant’s House for Melissa + Andrew’s perfectly classic soiree. This time, our Chicago photographer Roya made the trip out to the East Coast to take part in precious Melissa and Andrew’s big day. Melissa works at Google in Boston, where several of her co-workers used (once like a spark) for their weddings. (We love our Google Boston girls!! xoxo) Andrew is a restauranteur, and owns some hot-spots in Boston. Melissa and Andrew met one weekend at his restaurant…and the rest is history! We’re so glad that you invited Roya and (once like a spark) to be a part of your big day!
