We’re now offering so many great combinations that it will be impossible not to find something to suit your style, so check ‘em out and get excited!<br /><br />If you like an earthy feel, check out the swiss chocolate leather and mossy green suede combo that Kristen & Kevin selected for their <a href="http://jemmacoleman.blogspot.com/2009/03/kristen-kevin.html">Ft. Pierce Wedding.</a><br /><img src="http://davidandjemma.com/images/jcp/kkalbum-board-2x3.jpg" /><br /><br />Ok, I love the white leather and hot pink suede. HAWT!

David Coleman. Why would David miss such an awesome opportunity to meet all you lovely brides? Well, turns out I had a trip planned long before the bridal show to go mountain biking in North Carolina with family and friends. It was super rad, if a bit wet and muddy, but gnar was shred (which is a good thing) and memories were made. I snapped a few pics with the little camera during the times when I wasn't muddy or wet (which wasn't often).<br /><br />Driving 8 hours after a day at work stinks, but I almost wanted to stop and take pics of this sunset from the roadside. Almost.<br /><img src="http://www.davidandjemma.com/images/tsali/tsali09-01.jpg" /><br /><br />Four days in the tent. Sore back, but enjoyed the great outdoors with the starry view at night. The Jetta averaged over 36mpg for the trip, which is not bad for having a muddy bike on top of the roof!<br /><img src="http://www.davidandjemma.com/images/tsali/tsali09-02.jpg" /><br /><br />The world is thankful Daniel is no longer sporting a mullet, but the stache is pretty…uh….awesomely terrible?<br /><img src="http://www.davidandjemma.com/images/tsali/tsali09-03.jpg" /><br /><br />No, this is not an optical illusion: those abs are not from hours in the gym.<br /><img src="http://www.davidandjemma.com/images/tsali/tsali09-04.jpg" /><br /><br />Busted lip: In case you’re wondering, no, the handle bar does not taste good. Oh, and this is me, in case you didn't remember me from the <i>get to know us</i> cards at the expo.<br /><img src="http://www.davidandjemma.com/images/tsali/tsali09-05.jpg" /><br /><br />Quite the motley crew, but they didn't give me too hard a time for being a Florida fan.<br /><img src="http://www.davidandjemma.com/images/tsali/tsali09-06.jpg" /><br /><br />Hated to leave a place as pretty as this, but all good things must come to an end!<br /><img src="http://www.davidandjemma.com/images/tsali/tsali09-07.jpg" /><div><br /></div><div>Look out for future adventures of david and jemma!

A tricky situation, but we have some thoughts that might help...<br /><br />There are usually three things that you want:<br /><br />1. "We want lots of gorgeous photos and especially portraits of just the two of us, preferably in several different locations."<br />2. "We want the first time we see each other to be when I'm walking down the aisle."<br />3. "We don't want our guests to have to wait a long time for us at the reception."<br />(let's assume for the sake of argument <span style="font-style: italic;">a long time</span>=over an hour.)<br /><br />Realistically, you can pick two out of three things you'd like or get creative to make up for the other one. Read on to hear how we help our clients figure out what works best for them.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">1. You can avoid seeing each other before the ceremony and have lots of amazing photos afterward, but your guests will have to wait a little while for you to get there, or you'll need to skip out on some of the reception in the middle of it. </span><br />possible solutions: cocktail hour; entertainment at the reception; have both ceremony and reception at the same site to cut down on time traveling between the two; if you're having a mid-day wedding, take some photos toward the end of the reception or afterward (great chance to catch sunset!); sneak out while everyone else is still working on their meal and grab some more photos then.<br />cons: extra costs of cocktail hour or entertainment; missing out on parts of your reception; hair and make-up not looking so hot after most of the reception for the later photos.<br /><br />Here are some of Julie & Richard's portraits that were taken here and there before & during the reception.<br /><br /><img src="http://davidandjemma.com/images/jcp/gettingcreative.jpg" /><br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">2. You can see each other first at the ceremony and get to your reception on time, but you won't have a chance to do many photos and you may feel rushed.</span><br />possible solutions: pick a ceremony site that you can also have the reception at with a lot of variety in shooting locations, giving you the most opportunity in the most compact time and space, have a {day after} session and get dressed up in your duds again for some photos before you jet off your honeymoon; have a {days after} session - when you're back from your honeymoon, get dressed in your duds again (maybe even funk it up and wear something different) and gallavant around multiple fun locations to capture those shots.<br />cons: possibly paying for hair, make-up, and tux rental again, added cost of extra photography<br /><br />Here are Dan & Sereen's {days after} portraits. Sereen changed up her hair and jewelry and Dan had a few wardrobe changes to change up the feel of the photos. They were able to do their shots in Waldo, which expressed another part of their personalities.<br /><br /><img src="http://davidandjemma.com/images/jcp/dayafter.jpg" /><br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">3. You can get lots of photos and make it to the reception on time but you'll have to see each other before the ceremony.</span><br />possible solutions: a {first look} session - make it your own, plan it out ahead of time or be spontaneous. pick a lovely location and have the groom waiting with his back turned and the bride come in, announce herself or tap him on the shoulder while the photographers shoot with a long lens to capture this beautiful, private moment between the two of you. Alternately, you can set it up with family and friends looking on if you still want the moment to be shared with your loved ones. We'll be shooting this way at our next wedding & we'll add photos to this post, so check back with us in mid-November! Either way, after the first look, you can get on with the romantic shots with the two of you, take bridal party shots, and maybe some family photos, provided you have informed them that you'd like them ready early.<br />cons: breaking a tradition.<br /><br />here is Marion & Russ' {first look}<br /><img src="http://davidandjemma.com/images/jcp/firstlook.jpg" /><br /><br />What do you think about these ideas? Do you see any more drawbacks? What are you going to do if you're getting married? What did you do and how did it work out?Jemma Colemanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00178330412049762743noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2280500097526359258.post-19647299797683239742009-10-26T06:00:00.000-04:002009-10-26T06:02:40.748-04:00i {spy} - craft project! - the dress & the shoes for the {expo} - FINALLY!I was pretty excited about my outfit for the Gainesville Wedding Expo at the end of last month. After all it took me a ton of searching and trying on, returning, exchanging, and looking online and all over town to find what I wanted.<br /><br />Because I was determined to match my branding, I was convinced I needed a yellow dress. And I wanted one with a poufy skirt. And I didn't want a lot of bare skin showing. I could thrill you with stories of my escapades, but I'll just get to the point. It had basically come down to me wearing a cute gray dress I'd found at Urban Thread with a bright yellow scarf and silver sandals or a JCrew halter dress I'd also found at Urban Thread and some cardigan I was desperately trying to find.<br /><br />As I was taking one last look through the racks I came across a yellow dress that was definitely two sizes smaller than what I'm wearing these days. Even so, it looked a little larger than advertised, so I thought, what the heck, I'll see if I can squeeze into it. Just for giggles. And crazy enough it fit me!<br /><br /><img src="http://davidandjemma.com/images/jcp/crafts/belt-04.jpg" /><br /><br />I was so excited, I didn't even notice that I'd dropped a receipt in the dressing room for three cardigans I'd picked up from Ross - hoping to make them work with the halter dress. The sales ladies were happy for me and listened to me blather on about how I needed the dress for a wedding expo and yada yada yay yay yay! I gave them some of my cards!<br /><br />After purchasing the dress and my fabulous shoes (I fell in love with them after having used them to try on everything at the store), I got in my car to find a parking ticket DOH! and headed to Butler Plaza. Aaaaand, I left my credit card on the counter. By the time I got to Ross across town, I realized I didn't have the receipt. Nice enough, the sweet girls at Urban Thread called me (they had my biz card) to tell me I left my credit card and so I finished up my shopping at Target and headed back to pick up my lost items. They even found my receipt! What customer service!<br /><br />My fabulous JCrew shoes. So lovely, no?<br /><br /><img src="http://davidandjemma.com/images/jcp/crafts/shoeboard.jpg" /><br /><br />Next, to complete my outfit, I thought I needed a little something extra. I'd been itching to do some crafting and saw <a href="http://100layercake.com/blog/archives/1827">this fabulous craft project on 100 layer cake</a> and traced it back to <a href="http://heart-of-light.blogspot.com/2009/06/ruffly-headband-tutorial.html">Heart of Light</a> for the details.<br /><br />I printed out my instructions and got to work!<br /><img src="http://davidandjemma.com/images/jcp/crafts/belt-01.jpg" /><br /><br />For my belt, I chose double-faced satin ribbon and picked up the fabric from the remnants bins. I chose a couple extra fabrics from the bolt to increase the diversity of textures.<br /><img src="http://davidandjemma.com/images/jcp/crafts/belt-02.jpg" /><br /><br />I also bought some colorful fabric in case I changed my mind and wanted to do something a little different. I think I'll try this on my next craft date with a friend.<br /><img src="http://davidandjemma.com/images/jcp/crafts/belt-03.jpg" /><br /><br />Here are my petals ready to go!<br /><img src="http://davidandjemma.com/images/jcp/crafts/belt-05.jpg" /><br /><br />The belt is done!<br /><img src="http://davidandjemma.com/images/jcp/crafts/belt-07.jpg" /><br /><br />Trying it on to see how it fits. OH YEAH, I forgot to mention that my dress has POCKETS! Dresses with POCKETS are my best friends.<br /><img src="http://davidandjemma.com/images/jcp/crafts/belt-06.jpg" /><br /><br />Look how fabulous it looks with the dress!<br /><img src="http://davidandjemma.com/images/jcp/crafts/belt-08.jpg" /><br /><br /><img src="http://davidandjemma.com/images/jcp/crafts/belt-09.jpg" /><br /><br /><img src="http://davidandjemma.com/images/jcp/crafts/belt-10.jpg" /><br /><br />SO easy to do and I have tons of petals left over. I'm thinking of making them into something ridiculous like bloomers.
