Today’s wedding is simply beautiful. April and Lindsey, the two creative photographers behind Sweet Monday Photography, did a wonderful job capturing this delightful event.

What to know more about these photographers?

A little about the two of us…we’ve been best friends since we were 12 years old and our background is originally in motion picture filmmaking, which is what brought us to the Los Angeles area. However, after working awhile in the film industry (and hating it! People, politics, etc.) we realized the importance of doing something you love and that you feel is worthwhile. We absolutely love weddings and we love capturing and preserving the memories from one of the most important days in a person’s life!

We shot our first wedding in November 2004 and shoot about 20-25 weddings a year. Our prices start at $3200 for basic coverage and our Collections start at $3500. All of our Collections include two photographers, a complimentary engagement session with an online gallery, 4×6 printed wedding proofs, an online gallery of wedding images and digital negatives of the wedding images on DVD.

Our most popular Collection is our Tulip Collection which includes 2 photographers for 7 hours on the wedding day, 4×6 printed wedding proofs, online viewing & purchasing galleries, a complimentary engagement session, our 15 spread Tulip Album and digital wedding negatives. Our Tulip Collection costs $4200.

As far as locations, we absolutely love going to new places. Lots of times we would rather go someplace new than back to a location we’ve been before! Keeps us on our toes. :) However, a couple of faves are Rancho Las Lomas in Silverado because it has so many different locations within just the one location…an orange grove, woods, a red London-style phone booth, tree swing, etc. We also love Rancho del Cielo in Malibu for its amazing views. And we love the Marvimon House in Downtown LA for a more urban look.

 

I want to give a big thank you to Heather and Josh for sharing their charming day with us and to Sweet Monday Photography for the stunning pictures. Please share more with us in the future. Check out their blog and website for more inspiring photography.

Learn from Kate and Jake: The bridesmaids wore long, toffee colored dresses designed by Jim Hjelm. The stylish programs tied with satin ribbon were small enough for guests to put them in their pockets and purses. The doors to the church were decorated with wreaths filled with roses and hydrangeas. The couple sent their guests home with cheese pastries from the bride’s favorite bakery in Dallas.

Learn from Betsy and Tony: Betsy wore a simple, strapless gown with a champagne sash and carried a bouquet of white roses, blue hydrangeas, and green poppy pods. The bridesmaids’ navy blue dresses were a classic touch to the modern wedding. The couple used their monogram in many places such as on the programs and coasters to tie the event together.

Learn from Tess and Brian: Carry an all orange, rose bouquet down the aisle for a pop of color. Match the flower in your hair to the flowers in your bouquet for a pulled together look. Wear layers of pearls to accent a strapless dress for a chic wedding day look. Make sure your bridesmaids stay warm all night by giving them pashminas that match the color palette.

Learn from Jessie and Michael: Have your bridesmaids wear bright colored dresses with sashes that accentuate their curves. Pick tall centerpieces that give the room a romantic feel and surround them with candles. Display the index cards on green topiary. Decorate your wedding cake with orchids.
