A 2007 bride of mine shared a link with me last night with this photo!  She had a friend who was married in Sweden - they used Erika Gerdemark Photography…while doing some exploring she found some trash the dress photos on the blog! I just had to share this one - it’s stunning!  It’s a trend that’s been around for a while and is spreading universally! It’s about being creative and not destroying memories - you’re creating new ones!  Most wedding photographers are game for it so don’t hesitate to ask!  Check out the official TTD website.  I’m sure your dress will be happy to be worn a second time!  Check out the rest of the photo session from above at Erika’s Blog.

Happy Friday!!! This Tying the Knot Moment is one of my favs so far!! Friend and photographer, Michelle Walker (based out of the San Francisco area) emailed these awesome photos to share! Super hip couple, Eulalia and Paul, were married in Chileno Valley Ranch in Petaluma, CA this past May. Their seating cards were hung by string, as seen above. In order for guests to retrieve their name, they had to exchange the seating card with a polaroid taken of them! Super cute! Thanks for sharing Michelle!! Advice: assign the task and station to one or two friends to help the flow.

This is my first posting of my new category called “tying the knot moments”! Wedding photographers from around the country submit their favorite wedding moments and why. A great way for brides and grooms to view what wedding photographers are doing around the country, how their styles differ and wedding day advice. Please don’t hesitate to submit photos!

Today’s tying the knot moment comes from Geoff White Photography and their love for sunsets! Located in northern California where the sunsets are incredible!! I’ve had the pleasure of working with this outstanding and hardworking husband and wife team - Geoff and Lara White. Their attention to detail and vigorous drive shows in their photographs! Read on….
