Wedding trends in Madison WI 2013

What’s trendy in 2013 for weddings?  Well to start with Pantone recently announced it’s “Color Of The Year” – Emerald Green!  We added some of this fabulous color to the site to help inspire those that visit us here.  They are already wearing the color on the Red Carpets in Hollywood and I’m thinking there will be a few bridesmaids wearing it this season as well.

Also, cupcakes are still a hot ticket for those spunky couples that just can’t do traditional wedding cake.  I think it’s a great way to add flavors that everyone will love without all the leftover cake that will dry out while you’re on your honeymoon!

And last but not least – 2013 is going glam!  Yes it’s true.  This year look for brides to be bringing back a bit of old Hollywood mixed in with today’s hot ticket designers.  Luxurious faux furs, sparkly bling in all the right places (then again, is there a wrong place for bling?) and some life changing shoes.

Photographer in Madison WI finds haute coiffure

This weekend I had the opportunity to work with Matthew, owner of Wicked Beauty.  This is the second time I’ve had the pleasure of photographing his work which can only be described as “haute coiffure”.  He has a vision that reaches into the corporate offices of Madison WI to the runways of Fashion Week in New York.  I had such a blast working with him again!!

 How lucky am I to be able to share the most special moments with the coolest people on the planet?  Very lucky.

“If you are looking for a wedding photographer, I would highly recommend Sweeney Photography. Mary will be capturing all the special moments at our daughter’s wedding this summer. We have already received such gorgeous engagement photos that I can’t wait to see the wedding pictures. Mary has already been invaluable in helping us think through timelines and how to keep the evening flowing. Who needs a wedding planner when you can ask Mary about some of the details? (She suggested a button hook for my daughter’s dress, a small but important detail that I had overlooked on my many lists.) Her goal is to make the day special for the bride and groom: judging from the gorgeous photos on her website and many other glowing reviews, I am confident that our photos will be treasured memories of this wonderful day. Mary is the real deal. It is obvious she loves what she does. Her retouching is masterful and once you meet her, you will understand why Mary becomes the photographer that families rely on for all of their special events.”  – Sue P.
