The “Will My Wedding Be Deemed Blogworthy?” Bride
Special to OneWed by Casey of Casey Fatchett Photography “I just worry that my wedding is not going to be blogworthy.” There are few statements regarding my profession that make me sadder than this.

I know how much time and preparation goes into planning your special day. And I have one secret to pass...

The Proof is in the Pictures
The other night I was having a few cocktails with some industry professionals (shocking I know…) when we got to talking about one of the latest trends in wedding photography. Photojournalism.

Personally, I too am a huge fan of photojournalism, although I am not completely against making sure...

Wedding Dress Detail Shot Not to be Missed
A talented wedding photographer should be able to capture all the gorgeous details you'll work so hard to create. And while you likely won't have a hand in the making of your wedding dress (unless you're splurging on a custom couture gown), chances are you searched far and wide to find that stunner... so you'll want it captured in all its glory when the big day arrives! There are plenty of wedding dress detail shots we love, but our absolute favorite is the hanging dress photo....
When Should The Groom Get His First Look?
According to ye olde wedding tradition, the bride and groom shouldn't see each other on the wedding day until the actual wedding. While there is plenty to keep the couple in their separate corners on the morning of the wedding, many couples feel that this idea is a little dated. Truth be told, I had a delicious brunch with my hubs on the morning of our wedding. Looking back, it was a nice and relaxed way to start our big day - and it certainly hasn't jinxed us so far. Many...

Engagement Proposal in Central Park- Romance Captured
A priceless moment in time. Captured. New York City cinematic storytellers and videographers, Michael Justin Films, were in Central Park while an engagement proposal went down. Around noon on 05.07.2011, one of the Michael Justin pros set up a time-lapse of Central Park's Bethesda Fountain. Every 5 seconds (for one minute's time) the camera snapped. While reviewing the film later that day, something caught the photographer's eye... Right in the middle of the frame (as if done...
