Photographers have the most amazing way of turning simple spaces and groupings of objects into magical vignettes of life. James Merrell is one of those people. He's shot for Anthropologie, Domino, J.Crew and Town & Country, among many others. I love the effortless feel these rooms and objects possess. (You may recognize a few shots from some of our favorite Domino spreads too...) Porfolios like these are such fantastic sources of inspiration!

I am simply enamoured with the wedding/portrait photographers Our Labor of Love. Creativity, artistry and fun permeate each image this group shoots- just try not to spend an hour going through their portfolio here. What lucky people who get to have their important life milestones captured by these creative geniuses... (and some fantastic wedding ideas for those who are planning too...)

OLOL also offers a "smilebooth" when they shoot weddings which looks like a perfect way to capture the silliness and exuberance of guests- filled with props and fitted with a remote to take the shots you're guaranteed some hysterical images...
