Seattle wedding photographer Jonas Seaman is totally full of win. He's a Getty Images photographer turned wedding photographer when he realized how much fun shooting weddings can be! So he's fun, he takes amazing pics AND he's actually budget friendly! Triple-threat bitches! Check him out…

Donielle & Wayne didn't just want a wedding they wanted to create an entire experience. They rented an abandoned warehouse next to a train station to have their ceremony. Afterwards they held a decadent candlelit dinner party reception.

I mean seriously — the peacock necklaces? The purple ribbon fascinators? The purple gloves!? And you haven't even SEEN the shoes yet! For more adorableness from Sam's...

I'm not vegan, so I asked my go-to vegan expert to write this one up… Jana Morgan is a vegan and an amazing wedding photographer. She's also in the midst of planning a vow-renewal with her husband, so she's fresh off the vegan wedding dress search. Here are her tips.

After two failed attempts at planning weddings Emily & Benj decided to do the next best thing: elope! So they took their soon and ran away to Vegas. But they didn't get married my Elvis, they had their ceremony on a red rock in the Valley of Fire at sunset!

The moment Ariel and I saw this pop up in the Flickr pool we were like "whoa." And I immediately contacted the Amy, the bride, to get the scoop on this unique bouquet alternative. Here's the low-down plus more Barbie-licious photos…

Recently Ariel and I were talking about how SUPER IMPORTANT a good wedding officiant/celebrant/whatever is to the feel of a wedding. You want someone articulate, someone who can project, someone who can wrangle a crowd, someone who wants that perfect balance between sacred and sanctimonious. And Merrilyn Williams, a really good civil marriage celebrant in South Australia, is that someone.

Tina & Nico got legally married in May, so they were free to get wedding'd their way. So, they had a family-filled wedding at a castle in Belgium. When I say family filled, I mean they literally involved their family as much as possible. Both Tina & Nico's fathers officiated the wedding!
