Spotted: A Princess Wedding

Tuesday, June 21st, 2011

 

Every little girl dreams about having a princess wedding. Fact.
It’s only natural! After all, at age 5 most of what we know about weddings came from a Disney movie.
Then we grow up and realize that life is not always a fairytale.
We don’t wake up with perfect hair (at all), we don’t feel like every event in our lives deserves a song, we avoid wearing dresses 7 days a week, and our princes are not always that charming.
We grow up and realize that we don’t always feel like princesses.
Sometimes we rebel and think that we don’t want to be princesses anyways.

But then, it happens.
When you finally seem to have gotten over the whole princess thing, it just happens.
You meet a guy, you fall in love, you decide to spend forever together, you plan, and it happens.
That day happens.
That day, you know?
The day every girl is treated like royalty.
The day your prince seems more charming than ever.
The day you get to wear that perfect dress, with the perfect hair, and pair them up with the perfect smile.
The first day of your happily ever after.

 

“I am a princess. All girls are. Even if they live in tiny old attics. Even if they dress in rags, even if they aren’t pretty, or smart, or young. They’re still princesses. All of us.”- A Little Princess

I dedicate the following pictures to all the lovely real-life princesses out there.

The Yummyness:

The favors: chocolate cameos. Aw.

And here are 5 facts about this photo session:
1. It was done back in my hometown Curitiba, in Brazil!
2. The models are actually my 3 best friends. We grew up together, and the “bride” just got engaged!! I literally cried when she tried the dress on.
3. The dresses are designed by Rosa Clará (the lacey one), and Maggie Sotero (the one with ruffles). The bridesmaids dresses are by Maison Valentino, and are my all-time favorites.
4. We got to eat all the desserts served. All of them were made entirely of chocolate and truffles, and they were too good to be legal.
5. I was inspired by my two favorite movies: Marie Antoinette, and The Young Victoria.

When in Miami- Honeymoon Suggestion+10% off

Thursday, April 28th, 2011

After a long week of finals and sleep deprivation, Miami was a heavenly refreshment for both Mr.G and I.
No shoes, no shirt, no problems. Right?

Below, the happiest (and palest) people on earth:

Now, let me talk about our latest discovery:  luxury rentals in Miami Beach at Flamingo.
We lived in Miami, and so we know our way around, and honestly, this was so much better than anything else we have seen.
What a perfect way to spend the week!
In fact, what a perfect way to spend your honeymoon.

You get a hotel-style comfort, resort-style luxury, MIAMI BEACH, and the freedom and cheaper price of a rental.
Let me show you around:

 

THE APARTMENT:

Fresh. Modern. Relaxing.
It comes with everything you need to enjoy your stay (complete kitchen, internet,cable).

 

THE AMENITIES:

2 pools, 2 jacuzzis, beach volleyball court, basketball court, fancy gym, great views!
Plus, it’s nice and quiet, and full of hot people (for real).

Ahhh… I could live here.

 

Got you interested?
The weekly rental rate is $1,000 (much cheaper than hotels around the same area).
Call Frederic Bajol at 305-778-7737, or email him at fbajol@comcast.net
Want 10% off? The owner is a sweetheart and when I mention I would blog about it, he told me he’d give anyone I told about the rental 10% off.
Just let him know you heard about it on Spotted Photography’s blog, and you’re good!

 

Love,
P
