My Wedding Crush

You know how every once and a while you see photos of a wedding and it just takes your breath away? You know, your heart skips a beat, and then you feel instantly smitten? While you're drooling over to-die-for photos, you finally realize that your knee-deep in your first (...or second or third) wedding crush.

Typically, I find myself wedding crushing over super prettyfied weddings on super swank wedding sites, that never feel like they're created by real people.

Well not this time! I have been drooling over this wedding for a long time, and its 100% legit. It's hard to believe a regular person could pull off something like this, but I promise you its true! I'm a little embarrassed to admit it, but time and time again, I go back to look at the photos from this wedding because they're just so amazing.

I went to college with Brooke and Jim. We had our graphic design classes together, and Brooke is such a creative person that I had secretly been stalking her facebook dying to see her wedding photos. It all started after she posted the most amazing E-pics I'd ever seen.

Brooke's wedding inspired some projects for us, but you'll have to wait for those posts in the future ;-).

With her permission, I'm sharing some of her photos here. All of her photos are by photographer Colin Lyons, of which Brooke only had amazing things to say about. For more of Brooke, visit her etsy site - I swear, she's a rock star!

Everything was done with such bright colors! The pinks and oranges make me smile!

I swear, the reception details will make you 10 kinds of amazed! Their programs are beyond awesome.

I know, I know. Hey, I wasn't going to say it, but "I told you so." I'm sure you guys are all enamored with such an unbelievably beautiful day. I swear, every time I see the photos, I just can't help but smile because they are just so fun (and that is exactly what I want our day to be).

I can't wait to share what we did that was inspired by this crush!

Oh and a huge shout out to rock star Brooke for letting me share her photos with the Hive.

Do you have a wedding crush? Has it inspired your big day?
