With all of the reviewing of our products that we offer at BSP in accordance with the opening of our new site, I have come back to the love of leather journals. With the option of engraving or embossing most journals, “My Little Secrets” would look great in blind on the cover.  I catch myself frequently flailing around brilliant thoughts with nothing to write them down on, only to be lost with all the other restless trafficking of information inside my brain.  Of course, these thoughts happen in the middle of the night while trying to decipher if I’m still dreaming or lying awake, only to find myself awake and too lazy to get out of bed or asleep, succumbed by the slumbering snores, spinning all conscious thought through a sporadic windmill to create dream after dream.   Of all the journals we offer here at BlueSkyPapers, the leather pocket journal works best for me; with the ease of caring this journal on my person, thoughts will no longer drift away with the sawing sounds of sleep, they will be transferred to paper, and forever remembered in reality.  The key, now: pajamas with pockets.  Which BSP journal are you?

Wild Flowers

Tuesday, March 9th, 2010

Go for a meditative walk the morning of the wedding and think about a bright and happy future as you pick out bright and happy flowers for your hair, bouquet, and center pieces.  Leave something in their place, such as your love for Mother Earth, fairy dust, or a seed.  Think about where you walk, where you will walk, and who has walked before you.  Pick up some dirt, rub it between your hands, and let it fly as nothing is permanant.  Possibly, except for love.

There are many wild flowers in every neighborhood that will add that perfect local color for the wedding.  Wildflowers are free, colorful, diverse, and they give the bride the sense of home she needs to get through the day.

Wedding Photography Opportunities

Monday, March 8th, 2010

An article by Darren Rowse at Digital Photography School’s website on “50 ‘Must Have’ Wedding Photography Shots” was a “must” read.  As I continued down the much traditional photography shot list trying to imagine each shot as if it were my wedding day all over again, I began fading to another place.  Much of the article’s wedding shot ideas are the traditional hand-over-hand, bouquet toss, and family shots you do not want to miss.  Having been married in a not so traditional kind of way, (and on a budget) on the beach by a Buddhist Minister, I had to adjust this “Must Have” list to a not so traditional, “Pre-Spontaneous Wedding Photography Opportunities”.  Luckily, my sister, the photographer, already had a spontaneous thumb when it came to taking photos.  She managed to shoot some 500 photos between the rehersal dinner, wedding day, and reception, with a limited audience of nine.  Here are some photography ideas taken from my Pre-Spontaneous Wedding Photography Opportunities: Spontaneous Wedding Photo Ideas for the Modern Bride and Groom.

Environment

Our rehearsal day/dinner was held at a winery.  What better photo ops. than the natural surroundings of a winery?  These environmental photos add that extra touch to your wedding album, bringing the memories alive.

Animals

Every wedding party has one, no matter how small.

The Promenade

Surprising “The Promenade” shot was not in the “Must Have” article.  A simple single-file line to the wedding site invites anyone to jump in and join the party.  (Love the angle of the shot to the right!)


Secret After Thoughts: Just Between You and Me

This photo opportunity is huge!  What a perfect time to snatch a photo of the giddy couple right after their vows.  The only time it is okay to spy on the newlyweds.  Get your camera ready, because you just might catch them kissing and rubbing noses!  Such spontaneous photos and so cute!

It’s Official

What makes the marriage official is the actual signing of the marriage document.  This is truly the defining moment, a “Must Have” photo.

Check out the article and send me some ideas in the comments section on great photo opportunities for any wedding.
