Many of you may have noticed how Dan & Julie’s Real Wedding was full of unique photos, bright colors and interesting shots—that’s right! It was all shot on high quality film, printed and then scanned in to create digital prints.

You Look Nice Today Photography is a big proponent of film photos. I know it might be scary not to have the benefit of instant digital feedback, but it might be worth a try if you want truly unique photos with a fresh, artistic flair. Just look at how gorgeous some of these shots from You Look Nice Today came out:

When he and Jami got engaged, the pair combined the classic childhood story with engagement photos to prove that little Andrew was part psychic, part storyteller back in the day.

They used their story as an engagement part invitation, but we think it would be a fantastic idea for wedding favors, a slide show or even a photo book.

Here are just a few pages. You can see more at Brooklyn Bride. So cute!

What better way to showcase your pictures than with photo thank you cards? Whether you choose to highlight your wedding photos or snapshots from your honeymoon, photo thank you cards give you the chance to share your gratitude with family and friends while giving your favorite photo center stage!

You can filter the thousands and thousands of photos by category, and then use tags to narrow the selection down to exactly what you want. Or, if you are like me, you can click through every single one to find your favorites!

I love building little inspiration boards using different images in conjunction with one another. I love the rich jewel tones of these floral arrangements, the matching cake (from a completely different ceremony!), sleek dress and pretty, side swept hair.

By arranging photos together like this, you can form a better idea of the exact type of celebration you want to have. After all, a picture’s worth a thousand words!

Photographer Max Wanger seems to think that colorful streamers are the answer, as evidenced by this beautiful shoot with a couple named Grace and Parson. We love how he plays with focus to create artistic shots that would look fabulous in a photo save the date card.

What do you think? Are streamers the next big thing?
