Balloons!

May 20th, 2009 @ 3:10 pm by Mrs. Apple Cider

What is it about weddings and balloon pictures? They make me fall in love! I keep thinking of things I want to do for our engagement pictures, bridal portraits and day of! And balloons are a must!

These pictures are from the latest wedding on the Once Wed blog. They are by the amazing Jill Thomas Photography.

How about these? Sarah Yates is a photography goddess. I found these pictures on her website of an amazing engagement session!

I saw these posted on the great Style Me Pretty blog this week.

I am drooling over these yellow balloon engagement pictures by Erin Hearts Court. They are beautiful! The yellow really makes a statement.

I am so excited to incorporate balloons into our photos.

What fun props are you using for your photography?

I love them, too! We used balloons for part of our engagement session, and I’d love to do the same thing with some of the wedding pictures.

Those are so cute!
What is up with the reflection in the second one? Are they standing in front of water? It looks so crazy/cool.

Balloons for us too! They’ll be a big part of the reception decor and I can totally see some pictures like these in our future!

Can anyone recommend a good place to buy balloons? Any store chains like Target, Michaels or Party City?

We used a chalkboard and wrote “Save the Date: 11/15/09″ on it. We plan on using it again and writing “Thank you” on it at the wedding and using the pic for thank you card inserts.

I’m making sure we have a few shots with our favorite drink of choice…red bull. Our friends went to their favorite boba shop after their wedding and have some really cute pictures

I absolutely love balloons too! I can’t decide if I like the big ones or smaller ones better.
@Miss Gloss-they shot those pics on the Bonneville Salt Flats in Utah after their wedding.

We did a whole GAP themed engagement session with winter wear and a fleece blanket-so fun and charming!!! We even incorporated the coffee they had for us and ended up with a happy accident of a special ring shot.
