Mrs. Lamb, Norfolk Age and Occupation: 25, Homeland Security Consultant Fiance's Age and Occupation: 27, Graduate Student Engagement Date: January 2009 Wedding Date: January 2010 Venue: Trinity Presbyterian Church/Harrison Opera House About Me: I’m a Homeland Security Consultant with a tendency towards pulling office pranks, taking lunch breaks, and drinking Wawa shakes. I’m also an English major with a serious obsession with alliteration and rhymes. While I’m not keeping America safe, I’m training for half marathons and the Escape from Alcatraz swim. Or moving for the third time this year. Or baking. Or wedding crafting. Or crying about wedding planning. All the while, I’m getting myself into Lucille Ball-esque scrapes and making Jim Carey-esque faces. Our big fat Czech/Baptist/Jewish/Italian wedding is a combination of vintage eclectic, DIY, and little spoonful of sugar from our Event Coordinator. It’s going to be a Norfolk flavored wedding with the verve of an only-daughter-blow-out bash!

Inspirational Vintage Sessions

October 3rd, 2009 @ 3:05 pm by Mrs. Lamb

Since I was in elementary school, I’ve been drawn to the first half of the 20th century. I liked that part of history best. I wrote papers about swing dancing, I researched the likes of Amelia Earhart and Nelly Blye, and I memorized poetry by Ezra Pound and T. S. Eliot. Sometime I think that I was born in the wrong era, or that I have an “old soul”.

I think these leanings have had a huge influence on our wedding planning. It should come as no surprise then that I follow the Vintage Glam Wedding Blog. Recently, there has been a spate of wonderfully vintage e-session photography.

Check out this amazing WWII (and Casablanca!) feeling session from Dustin Todd:

Or what about this one by Jen Stewart Photography?

I’ve also been blog stalking a girl that I knew growing up (down the street from me actually!). Lydia Jane Photography has got a more mod or ’70s feel to her portfolio. Seriously, doesn’t it remind you of Super 8 film???

Which photographers do you think have a vintage aesthetic? Are you looking for a photographer to impart a vintage feel? Or are you going more modern?

Those last two are so ethereal — and look like they could be from yesterday…or 30 years ago! :-)

Those vintage sessions are so beautiful. For some reason I’ve convinced myself that I’m not “dainty” enough for vintage looks. :( It’s hard to do vintage when you’re 6′3″.

Beautiful inspiration shots, though!

Love this vintage-y wedding picture idea, my FH and I might take it a step further and do a vintage army shoot since we are having a military wedding!

[...] a side part. Wildly out of regulation hair just wouldn’t do with the uniform. I looked back at some inspiration pictures and decided to browse for a vest for him. I bought a great blue button up shirt and charcoal wool [...]
