Becky and Adam’s steampunk-y wedding had all the trappings we love about steampunk AND some epic fashion including a lavender dress we crave by The Couture Company.

A Renaissance fantasy Christmas wedding (aka "A Lord of the Rings Christmas Special!")

A Renaissance fantasy Christmas wedding (aka “A Lord of the Rings Christmas Special!”)

When people asked about our wedding, we joked that the theme was, "Lord of the Rings Christmas Special." Shane is a huge Tolkein nerd, and we both love Renaissance faires and fantasy.

A romantic Ohio forest elopement for two (with purple hair and smoke bombs!)

Kitti and Sean wanted a private and intimate Ohio forest elopement for two. They want it private, but they also wanted it to represent their style. Their photographer met them at the entrance to the forest at Pine Quarry Park in Reynoldsburg, Ohio. There was a private ceremony, a gorgeous cake, and a few stunning portraits (some with colorful smoke bombs — the groom’s idea!).

Let’s get a tiny look at this secluded Ohio forest elopement…

A camping wedding in the woods

A summer solstice glamping elopement in the redwoods

Amanda and Josh moved across the country to the Seattle area from the East Coast, and made a point to explore the forests and scenery. They wanted to include nature by having a “glamping” elopement in the redwoods with a long day spent in each other’s company before exchanging personal vows. And to make that day as long as possible, they got married on the longest day of the year: the summer solstice!

Let’s pretend we’re sipping vino at this wine country wedding in California

High school sweethearts BriAna and Eric chose a Clos LaChance Winery for their wine country wedding in California. It was a dream with ivy-covered walls, tucked between rolling hills, and overlooking seriously scenic vineyards. Some of the highlights included a Mariachi band, flowers girls hugging and dancing the day away, a flower-covered cake (and SO many stunning flowers in general), parasols, and Serrano pepper salsa favors made from scratch!
