Hands down this might be one of my favorite dresses I own. Also, that is my favorite quilt I own as well. And this is my favorite post. Ever.
How was everyone’s weekend? My husband and I shot a wedding with some friends in Houston. (And by my “husband and I” — I really mean just my husband. However, I did guard the camera equipment with my life, so I feel as if that totally counts to be a part of the team. Just like when I was the volleyball team manager in high school, technically that still meant I was on the team, right?) It was so hot outside — I literally don’t think I’ve been that hot in my life. Well maybe once when I was in one of those hot rock sauna’s but I have to say that was my fault. But the heat from the sun? I’m totally blameless. But we went, we snapped, we conquered. It was a great day.
It’s pretty strange to go to someone else’s wedding whom you’ve never met. I totally felt like a wedding crasher, except I wasn’t there to get a girlfriend and I’m not Owen Wilson. Oh and we were paid to be there. So I guess it’s not like wedding crashing at all. It’s actually like wedding photography. Exactly like wedding photography.

i <3 that dress. and that quilt. and that you brought a book of maps along.
my husband and i did some wedding photography. it is hard, no?
Photographing weddings is such a blast! I love doing it. But this dress is so cute. The color is just perfect. This looks like a little mini photo shoot! You guys really put a lot into these style photos and I think it's great!
hey Kendi! Long-time reader and first (maybe second) time commenter here. Love the blog; and wouldn't you know that I was in LOFT yesterday and saw this dress on the clearance rack for $15!! IN MY SIZE! I don't know what my problem is but I did not buy it. However, now that I see this post, I am thinking I made a grave mistake. eek!

What a lovely set of photos! Everything about it is so right.
I love the dress and the quilt. I am obsessed with this shade of yellow; I'm pretty sure I would live inside this color if I could.
I think this is one of my favorite dresses too. And the shoes and belt (and quilt) go perfectly. Great photos!

I can't imagine getting married in the heat of the summer in Houston. Brave souls for tying the knot and snapping the photos!
I loved this dress so much on you that I bought it (in the print) to use in my remix!
Love these pictures – great props!
The best parts of a wedding (in my humble opinion) are the food and the cake. Hope you were able to get both! Especially the cake. That's important.
Ahh, scarf-as-belt, I love you so.
I have been loving seeing your use of those red shoes! Just as I caught myself drooling on the keyboard last week, I remember that I have a pair of red suede shoes in the back of my closet! Now you've got my head spinning with outfit ideas. Thanks for the inspiration!
I really like that dress. Your pictures are always so creative too!
kendi, i love your outfit! the dress goes so well with your shoes. i have a red pair of shoes i may need to pair with a similar dress that i own as well! and haha about you tagging along to the wedding with your husband. i tag along with my boyfriend when he plays in weddings and i just kinda enjoy and take in ideas for my own one day. lol!! glad you had fun. 🙂
yes! this is an awesome set of photos! you look so happy 😀

This might be my favorite post ever, too. That last photo of you is absolutely gorgeous. Glad you had such a nice weekend!
That dress is gorgeous – I love the ruffle detailing. You seem to be accessorising with that quilt – is that included in your 30 items. 😉
oooh. pretty pretty pretty dress. ^^
and being part of a team is fun. even if one just guards the equipment.
and I`m thinking that wedding crashing might be somehow fun too. 😀

Love the scarf as belt.

That color is fantastic on you!
You and that dress on that quilt is perfection! I am in love with the mustard colour, and you look beautiful.

These pictures are almost as beautiful as that dress (and you)! Looks like you had so much with all your favorite things 🙂
great photos!
I love the combo of mustard and red! So pretty together. Speaking of pretty, these photos are lovely, missy!
These photos are beautiful! How nice that your outfit matched your quilt. 🙂
I am so in love with that dress 🙂
I absolutely love this shoot! I'm already head over heels in love with mustard and now you've gone and taken it up to a whole other level.
They're all great but I particularly love the one shot from over your shoulder of you looking at the map. Just gorgeous.
these pictures are gorgeous and I must have that dress. Still available??

Holy wow that is a fantastic dress! LOVE it to bits!
I really like this dress. I also like it with touches of red.
these are such lovely photos, you look so pretty and happy !!!
love the dress, the shoes, the whole wide world.
I can see why that dress is your favorite. It's mine too, and I don't even own it. So I guess it's my favorite your dress.
i liek tha you used a skarf as a belt and i adore the pattern on it!
I love the shots of you with the quilt…so pretty.
Wedding photography would be so fun! I also LOVE this photo shoot…the atlas was the perfect prop!! You have also proven that buying shoes in a bright colour is nothing to be scared of because they will go with far more than you think! I sense some shoe shopping inspiration when my shopping ban is up 😉
What a beautiful dress! Its the perfect tone of yellow.
I agreeeee – I LOVE this post! And this dress. And your quilt. You're too amazing, Kendi!
I love love loove this post! These photos are so gorgeous.

Can see why you like this dress – it looks fantastic on you! Yellow really suits you.
