Book Cover Photo Shoot by Jose Villa + Joy de Vivre, Part II

We’ve been celebrating like crazy round these parts today…bubbly has been broken out, heels have been kicked off and dancing has ensued. Why? Because, we finally got to spill the beans that our show-stopper of a book is now for pre-order herehere and here! I KNOW! Here’s a little look at the cover if you missed the first post, because well, we just can’t get enough…



Okay, lovelies. Back to business. Part 2 of the incredible photoshoot that Jose Villa captured with stylings from Joy at Joy de Vivre, florals by Florette (love), amazing calligraphy by Betsy Dunlap and a roster of all star faces and spaces that came together to create magic. And when I tell you that it just keeps getting better and better, I am hardly doing it justice. The rustic but crazy elegant approach to design, the dreamy, ethereal touches, the moments of pure beauty that Betsy infused into the paper…it’s SMP gold. Click here to see the full spread and check back in a bit to see the lovely vignette that Lola Film & Video put together.

Erin, our amazing writer here on SMP summed it up to perfection…”I would seriously give up my first born to wear that wedding dress. I think it might be the prettiest one I’ve ever seen.” Coming up next, we get to watch the whole beautiful moment come to life with an incredible film by Lola Film & Video. xoxo
