Well, hello Monday! And welcome, March!  You know what that means don’t you?…the onset of spring-blossom bouquets, sweat-proof wedding mascara, humid-resistant hair and more Wedding Nouveau love stories to fit the bill.

I don’t know who’s story to begin with really.  The photographers or the marrying couple.  Or both?  How do you resist a “straight-out-of-a-movie” love story, if it’s just as beautiful and touching as the photography.  A gorgeous Mexican photographer meets her match in Atlanta photographer, Matt.  Thanks to a serendipitous turn of events that involved congruent photo sessions, botched travel plans and a hurricane, the tale of these two souls joined forces with a lovely Mayan ceremony.  Read the full story here.

Many different countries, Two photographers, one passion.

Yes, Matt and Sol of Del Sol Photography have a love story that’s worth retelling over and over.  As a bride, you know you’re getting the deal of a lifetime with these two, as their love translates seamlessly into their work.

For Yean and Kyle, there was no exception to Del Sol’s level of detailed expertise, finesse and absolute beauty in each captured moment.  And so their story begins:

Setting: Quintana Roo, Mexico

Heroine & Hero: Cambodian/Thai Bride – Yean and her Canadian Beau – Kyle

Colors: Fuschia, Green & Brown

Scene #1: ROMANCE N’ FUSCHIA

Now here’s a great example of how to balance style and budget.  Yean chose an elegant and classic gown by one of my favorite designers, Romona Keveza.  Since she chose to purchase the gowns for her bridesmaids, not wanting to compromise on style and the overall vision she had, Yean found her stunning fuschia gowns for the maids from Forever 21, or as I call it to justify my habits in there…Forever 31.

Scene #2: TIMELESS PORTRAITS

I don’t know how she was able to pull off such a gorgeous hair style.  On the day of the wedding, the bride did her own hair which turned out envious.  With the help of one of her best friends/ maid of honour to do make up, these timeless portraits go down in my “Best Of” for 2010…and it’s only March.

When asked about some flower detail choices, here’s what Yean said:  “I wanted the ceremony set up to be simple and elegant so I opted for rose petals down the isle instead of tropical flowers on the canopy [which you'll later]. I provided the green ribbon for my bouquet. The bridesmaids bouquet were silk orchids I ordered online.”

Here’s to a style savvy and budget conscious diva who’s realization of her dream tropical wedding is exactly how you kick off March inspirations.  Stay tuned later for part 2 of their ceremony, with more fabulous pictures from Del Sol.
