Summer Weddings...What About The Guys ?

I had a contact recently send me an infographic on what guys wear to summer weddings and I've posted it below.

Women seem to stress over wedding attire a lot, but guys seem to be mostly oblivious. With the exception of a few guys, ties are not a favorite in my limited experience. Guys like easy, comfortable and no fuss dress up clothing.

Linen pants, cotton or linen button down short sleeve shirts with pleats. Love the rolled up pants !

Now some guys work in corporate offices and dress every day, but few guys seem to relish getting togged up on their days off. The consolation usually is the wedding food and dancing :)

 My experience is that wedding parties these days are tending more casual, beachy and low key. Bowties are big. Vests and rolled up sleeves on long sleeve shirts and boots or converse tennis shoes are pretty universal. Bolo ties are big in Texas.

Note the long sleeves, vest and untied bowtie :)

Beach and island weddings seem to skip ties - even for the groom - in favor of a lightweight button down shirt in linen or rayon with minimal color or print. Usually a cream or white, maybe pale blue. Sometimes a light graphic or textural element is added. Pants may be linen and loose for beach or jeans or other dark pants otherwise. If anyone has a take on this, please share !

So Sarah !!! Finding the Right Wedding Photographer Series

Finding the right photographer is mostly about style....and emotion. You want someone who'll see what others miss at the wedding...those poignant moments that go by as a blur but are treasures. So a photographer has to be intuitive. They have to think with the heart and mind and capture it beautifully. It's a pretty tall order !

So I thought I'd do a little series on photographers I've seen or known whose work captures something special in the day of a wedding or an engagement shoot.

Photographers record the sweet moments of the day that get all but forgotten in the crazy busy rush.

So I thought I'd post a few wedding pics from a personal friend Sarah Webster of Sarah Isaac Photography. Sarah's sweet, blond and petite and a lot of fun. She does a range of photo shoots from families, engagements, high school senior pictures and especially weddings. You can find Sarah at her site : Sarah Isaac Photography
