A dashing self-officiating urban elopement (with a rock star cameo!)

Sheannette and Paul met when she bought a mid-century desk from him via Craigslist! It was basically love at first sight after that. For their chic urban elopement in Denver, they rode around town in a limo to visit three different locations and create some gorgeous shots with their two children. Oh, and while they were there? They ran into a super famous rock star just chilling with his dogs. Let’s see the whole stunning display at this self-officiating urban elopement…

Entrepreneurs and adventure lovers, Sandi and Jimi, decided at the last minute to renew their vows with their three kiddos in a cenote (a natural pit) while traveling in Playa del Carmen. Pulling from their own cultures and experiences, they crafted a beautiful and intimate ceremony to re-bind their family together.

After that it was getting down to some serious play time with the kids in the wild foliage of Playa del Carmen, which is in no short supply of beauty. Let’s put on our sun-soaked goggles for this cave vow renewal in Mexico.

Gorgeous wedding party boots, handmade faerie dresses, and loads of rustic details make this wedding a heartbreaker. There were hula hoops at the cocktail hour, dancing down the aisle at the ceremony, and the reception included a sword fight, impromptu "Lord of the Dance" performance, and a birthday celebration. Definitely don’t miss the epic sword fight, too!

You’ve heard of a groom’s cake, now learn about a blended family cake (with amazing cake topper to boot!). Yana and Fabian had lots of ways to include their kids in their multicultural wedding, but we totally fell in love with their blended family cake. It felt like a really solid way to make sure the kids understood that they’re a full part of the new union and celebration.
