Photography By Jim Kennedy Photographers
Professional Wedding Photography is, without a doubt, an absolute MUST on your big day! This is one detail that everyone in the business agrees should not be skimped! Cutting costs for a wedding is a major factor for many couples this year. However your photos are the one memento you can treasure FOREVER. You will definitely want to relive these special moments in years to come.
Ceremony Magazine is so proud to work with the BEST Photographers in Southern California. It is my pleasure to showcase the photo styles of our amazing advertisers in our daily PHOTOS OF YOUR SPECIAL DAY!

I love AWARDS season in Hollywood – so many gowns to devour as they stroll down the red carpet! Checking out what the starlets are wearing is actually more exciting to me than seeing who wins what award. I am STILL obsessing about Kate Hudson’s 2010 Golden Globe gown. Kate is obviously loving white this year (she rocked it at the SAG awards too) and it definitely suits her. Maybe she’s dreaming about her next wedding… (since she’s newly a single gal) but I’m thinking this structured Marchesa gown would look stunning coming down the aisle on a high-fashion bride! I totally {heart} the feather detail!

I am currently in LOVE with the movie: The Proposal with Sandra Bullock and Ryan Reynolds. Obsessed with it to the point that I not only own it, but fall asleep to it practically every night! (Clearly, I’m hoping to dream about MY proposal!) Part of what makes this movie so super cute, is not only the chemistry between the two stars, but how WILD their proposal story turns out to be!
This is the best part of your engagement! What is your story? Or rather, how does your story begin? There is no better place to start then the moment that QUESTION is asked! I would love to hear about PHENOMENAL proposal stories and blog about them here!
