Heidi Ryder Photography: The Blog » Southern California and Destination Wedding Photography

I woke up this morning to discover that one of my images was featured on a fabulous wedding blog, Green Wedding Shoes. What a treat! Apparently someone likes bow ties as much as I do, becasue the bow tie shot from Amanda and Oliver’s wedding was the photo that got used. I’m so glad bow ties are “in” these days…they’re so quirky and fun!

Here’s a screen capture of the feature, but be sure to go visit Green Wedding Shoes for tons of fantastic wedding inspiration!

As a wedding photographer I consider it part of my job to stay up-to-date with wedding trends. Because of this I spend quite a  bit of time looking at the same resources that brides and grooms use when planning their weddings. This was one of the funnest parts for me when I was planning my own wedding, so I can’t even begin to tell you how happy I am that my job is such that I’m still allowed to do this type of thing!

The other day I came across a wedding resource site that I hadn’t seen before. Elizabeth Anne Designs is a blog, vendor directory and online community that covers just about every aspect of a wedding you can think of. They even have a “Living” section that just showcases fabulous everyday finds that have nothing to do with weddings. This is important because it is so easy to get wedding burnout when you’re in planning mode!

Yesterday Ami & Rebekah over at EAD asked me if they could use one of my photos in one of their “wedding details” features and of course I happily allowed them. When I went to visit their blog today, there was my image from Anna and Lönngren‘s wedding staring back at me. Fun!

Here’s a screenshot from their site, but do yourself a favor and go spend some time over there, especially if you’re planning a wedding!
