Sarah & Patrick’s laid-back space jump wedding

Get married under the moon? You bet your ass these two did! That, along with a huge bounce house, handmade (and painted!) astronaut cut-out, and a planetarium show, made this wedding out of this world… and other puns! But seriously, get a load of the giant “LOVE” balloons at the ceremony, the bride’s starry headpiece, and the bit of sage wisdom about photo-taking from their venue!

Sarah & Davy’s love in the key of honky-tonk wedding

When the groom is a professional honkey-tonker, and you live near an amazing little dive called Max’s Place, it makes all the sense in the world to celebrate that honkey-tonk lifestyle with a cowboy and music-themed bash. The kick-ass outfits on the bands (yep, all of them) alone are worth a look.

This arden party wedding had stepmom vows

This pair had a strange introduction, but it ended up being something pretty magical in the end. And it all led to this day full of garden party awesomeness, sweet vows to a new step-daughter (with matching custom necklaces!), and a genius way for introverts to avoid a receiving line! Oh, and get ready to LOL at the groom’s steamer incident (photo included).
