Daria Bishop's Ring Shots

I was inspired by Miss Petunia's "Picture These Rings" post today and wanted to share some GREAT ring shots from our lovely photographer, Daria Bishop. The photos below were all taken from her blog and I hope they inspire you to check out more of her great work. Daria and her husband Andy live in Vermont but they travel -- so if you're a New England or NY Metro area bride planning your wedding check her out! She also does engagement sessions and family photos. I'd recommend you get lost for hours watching her client slide shows.


These are our rings on the piano at the Willard Street Inn where we stayed with our friends and family.

The rest of the images are from Daria's blog. Enjoy!

I *heart* Daria Bishop

If I could change one thing about our wedding day it would be...absolutely nothing! From the moment we got to Vermont on Thursday to the car ride home with Mr. Onion and my bridesmaid tonight -- I enjoyed every minute. Every bride says the day flies by so make sure you take a moment to appreciate it. I'd say I was "present" for just about everything.

Now onto the important stuff -- the professional pictures. What's that you say? Professional pictures?! But you got married YESTERDAY -- what are you talking about? That brings me to the title of my post "I *heart* Daria Bishop."



Daria and her husband Andy (who is her 2nd -- but no less important photographer) are among my new favorite people. They went above and beyond and it was so special to have them share in all the amazing moments of our very intimate (46 guest) wedding. Toward the end of the evening they approached Mr. Onion and I together with a "honeymoon present." It was a small album of wedding pictures -- Andy "disappeared" during the reception, printed them and put the book together. I seriously almost cried. Enjoy until we have more to share :)












Daria and Andy Bishop live in Vermont but travel for weddings, so check them out if you're still looking! They are booking well into 2008 so don't wait. You will be thrilled you did -- trust me! Learn more at www.dariabishop.com Check out her blog as well for her most recent work.

OK, off to Curacao for our honeymoon in 7 hours so MUST sleep!

Signing off for the first time as Mrs. Onion!

Bride meets Bride

Mr. Onion and I had a fantastic weekend in Burlington. I found a salon to do my hair and make-up (hooray -- sooo relieved), we had a romantic dinner at the restaurant that will be hosting our wedding reception, we got Mr. Onion some snorkel gear for our honeymoon at a great dive shop and enjoyed spending some time together.

Just as we were relaxing on the Church Street Marketplace I see a wedding letting out of the church at the top of the marketplace. I really wanted to go see because -- well who doesn't want to see a pretty bride?! What I really wanted to do was take pictures for the weddingbee community so Mr. Onion, seeing the look on my face said, "Oh go on and get your camera -- you know you want to!" He's so understanding and sweet of my love for all things wedding right now.



So I'm taking some pictures across the street when I notice one of the photographers is shooting me shooting the bride and groom! I was a little embarrassed so I headed back down the marketplace to get Mr. Onion. As I look down at my digital camera I realize -- "What a minute! That's MY photographer!" Then I realized the guy who was taking my picture is her second shooter and her husband. He recognized me from our engagement photos and came right across the street to greet us.

But WAIT -- it gets better. Then I see the bride jump up and down and point at me. I couldn't tell if she was smiling or is she wasn't happy to have a wedding stalker. After they were on there way I realized I "knew" her -- well sort of. I'd seen her engagement photos on our photographer's website and then found her on the Vermont board of theknot.com. We had quite a bit in common and went back and forth via email for a few months. Sure enough, when I got home she had emailed me -- the subject line was "you were at my wedding!" It was too funny. It was great to see our photographer in action and to meet her husband before our big day. Here are the rest of the pictures I snapped quickly with my little digital -- sorry for the low quality of the zoom.







I wonder if I will end up on Daria's blog?!
