And what about a theme?
Will you go with the popular rustic or outdoor theme?  Or maybe something a little more fun and playful such as circus and “Love is Sweet”?

Check out more 2012 wedding trends and predictions here.

How about these lollipops?  They would make an incredibly fun and unique wedding favor, not to mention doubling as an awesome photo booth prop (PhotoBooth available through Fleming Photography Studio).

Definitely a modern statement!

Try making them yourself (DIY), or they are available for purchase at Cocoa Confections.

So, instead I’ll do a bit of a review/recap of the past two months…

IT NATION 2011: We started November out with a 4 day destination shoot in Florida.  This is the second year we’ve been hired as the official photographers for IT Nation: Connectwise Partner Summit, held at the Hilton Orlando Bonnet Creek.  With awesome people, evening parties (and I mean parties!), golf, and meeting a live wild alligator (or crocodile, not sure), it was hard to call it “work”, but after 16-18 hours a day for four days straight, we had no problem remembering why it’s called ‘work’!

The Freisen Family: We then had a fun time with the Friesen family (a beautiful family we met at a wedding this past summer) during their family shoot down in Bellingham, and also had the privilege of designing their Christmas cards!

The Zylstra Family: Not only did we take newborn photos of the Harbor, the youngest little one, but Kim, the wife/mom is one of our preferred florists that we recommend to all our bridal clients!  Such a sweet, gorgeous family!  And once again, we had the privilege of designing their Christmas Cards.  Thank you Zylstra Family!

zach + angela [WEDDING]: We LOVED this vintage style wedding! Everything from the colors, to all the handmade hats (made by the bride herself), and to decor! Nothing was ‘traditional’! This wedding was DIY meets ETSY, and definitely reflected who they are… TAKE NOTES EVERYONE!

We were so thrilled to be able to get creative and design a new photographic look to capture the essence of their theme. Thanks again Mr. and Mrs. Cook!!
