Ring in Married Life With Photos That Show Off Your Bling
5, January 2017
Three months salary. Weeks spent shopping. A lifetime on your hand.
Your engagement and wedding rings mark the beginning of your march toward marriage. And upon announcing your engagement, get plenty of attention.
However, as the days to wedding grow near, these symbols of love and commitment sometimes get short shrift -- overshadowed by “glitzier” elements as you’re “goin’ to the chapel” (or synagogue or country club).
Our Lily & Lime wedding photographers like to shine a light on these bands of gold … and we love these wedding photo ideas for telling your story!

Photographers Tell A Wedding Story … Without Being At The Ceremony
16, December 2016
At times, weddings seem like the ultimate dichotomy. A very public celebration of a most intimate event.
Portland couple Madelyn and Andrew chose to keep their September nuptials private -- which meant no photographs at the actual ceremony. But as you can see, our Lily & Lime wedding photography pros were more than able to capture their love story and their eclectic wedding style -- which we’d describe as elegant, vintage and definitely romantic.
A Tale of True Love, No Props Required
15, December 2016
Props can be a fun way to tell your love story in photos. But sometimes the connection between two people is story enough.
Like in the case of Abby and Nicholas.
The Pittsburgh couple recently celebrated their upcoming nuptials with fun, candid Lily & Lime engagement photography … that is sure to be a style inspiration to many.
Jessica and Christopher Tell Their Engagement Story with Props From the Heart, and the Home

Your story doesn’t start on your wedding day. Your wedding photography from Lily & Lime doesn’t have to either.
An engagement photography session is the perfect opportunity to begin telling your never-ending story in pictures. And we love how Jessica and Christopher (and their son!) told their unique tale with the help of Lily & Lime.
Shot at Coffee Creek Watershed Preserve in Chesterton, Indiana, their fall engagement photos make great use of the great outdoors and the midwest’s unique nature.
Gold and Other Metallics Add Instant Glamour to Winter Weddings
8, December 2016
If orange is the new black, then metallics are the new neutrals for winter weddings. And as it turns out, all that glitters isn’t gold.
Think sultry silvers, potent pewters, candescent coppers … and yes, glitzy golds. From centerpieces to sequined bridesmaid dresses, our Lily & Lime wedding photographers have captured it all! Metallic and neutral wedding colors are making a splash this season and offer an elegant and easy way to create the glamorous wedding you’ve been dreaming of.
Dog-Gone Good Ideas For Including Your Favorite Furries in Wedding Photos
2, December 2016
Any wedding photographer worth their film will ask you for a list of “must have” photos -- that includes people, settings and situations -- before the big day. Dad pinning on a boutonniere. A close up of Grandma’s hands and yours. You and your best friend from childhood, laughing just the way you did back then.
The two of you and “Best Dog.”
Wedding photos are a wonderful way to honor those closest to you. And for some, that just might include the four-legged variety.
What might have once been viewed as a quirky novelty -- the inclusion of pets in weddings, namely dogs -- is gaining popularity. And why not? These fur friends probably spend more time with the two of you than anyone else.
Looking for inspiration? Captured by our talented Lily & Lime wedding photographers, here are some of our favorite photos of couples letting their pooches participate in the celebration -- and even becoming a part of the wedding decor.
Celebrate Your Red-Hot Romance with Shades of Ruby, Berry and Plum
30, November 2016
Fall turns to winter. Soft greens and harvest golds make way for shades of berry, plum and crimson.
These darker hues are a knock-out against ivory and white. However purple and red wedding colors can take you way beyond the bouquet and inform your entire bridal style -- from nuptial nails to wedding decor.
Our wedding photographers here at Lily & Lime have captured some of our favorite (and often unexpected) uses of this winter color palette. They might will inspire you!
