It’s another rainy day here and it seems all I can think about is wanting to run away and hang out on an exotic beach somewhere for a few days. I assure you this won’t be happening any time soon, but a girl can dream, right? Toes in the sand, a big beach umbrella and …
Beach wedding
I’ve been a huge fan of James Moes’s work for a long time. I just can’t get enough of his gorgeous images and this surprise wedding that he so beautifully captured is a new favorite for me. Dave surprised Heather with a proposal (and a surprise wedding ceremony!) on a beach in Tofino BC. See …
With spring having finally decided to stick around and summer close on her heels, you’re going to notice things getting increasingly beachy around here. I grew up on the water and I swear I can’t stay away, especially in the warmer months. By summer you’ll find me on a boat or a beach or a …
I loved this beach bachelorette party the instant I saw it. In fact, I may have clapped on sight. It’s so many of the things I personally love in life. The waterfront, sea breezes, my best girlfriends, icy cocktails served up with paper straws, and easy indie-inspired style. In a word, it’s gorgeous. For those …

Spied recently on Sweet Paul, I love the look and feel of these simple strings of shells for a beach wedding or seaside celebration. Carefully use a hammer and nail to pound small holes into each shell and then string together with twine or string. Use shells collected together or from past family vacations for …
My obsession with the beach this week continues with this playful engagement session from Caroline Tran. I’ve been such a huge fan of Caroline’s work for a long time, but these images really just captured my imagination. I love how sunny and cheerful they feel, so celebratory and bursting with excitement. The gorgeous light and …
I guess I’m feeling like summer this week because this table setting made me pause in my tracks immediately. The soft ocean-inspired color palette and details paired with sleek modern style make this so appropriate for so many occasions. I love the mix of color, pattern and texture – it feels both playful and yet …
I want to go to Greece. And I want there to be candelight glowing from pretty pink lanterns on a table topped with blue and white gingham linens. I want there to be laughter and running about the surf barefoot and the hazy mist of twilight all around. Because to me, today, this looks a …
Last night I wandered over to the blog of Oh, Darling Photography and found myself instantly captivated. I’ve long been a fan of Whitney Deal who writes the immensely inspiring blog Darling Dexter and who is one half of the talented Oh, Darling team. (Her husband is the other half.) I immediately found myself in …
