Kathleen & Lucky’s traditional 1950s wedding

This pair is a self-described June and Ward Cleaver queer couple, which is just rad. The wedding itself mirrored this with its 1950s-style traditional vows and style. They also found time to sneak off during the reception for a little alone time, which was not missed by the hooting and hollering crowd.

A fabulous rainbow geek social media wedding

I’m going on 300 weddings edited and this is the FIRST French wedding I’ve done! In fact, we haven’t seen one in over two years. But when it finally came around, it came around with a bang. You will love this adorable couple, their rainbow-tastic details, geeky references, funky dancing, and ingenious use of the Tribe to get to vendors they wouldn’t otherwise have access to in France.

Michelle & Chris’ relaxed vineyard wedding

After a serious illness threatens this wedding, the pair comes out swinging with a gorgeous vineyard venue (with matching wine barrel cake!), a bride and bridesmaid color swap, and even a papier-mache pig card box. Plus, you’ll love the sweet little hand-crafted hearts filled with facts about their relationship.

Alicia & Cody’s fiery dragon and phoenix art gallery wedding

With amazing gradient mobiles that match the bride’s earrings that match her dress that matches the cake that matches the fiery candles… WHEW! Seriously, this wedding is a sight to see and totally authentic to their tastes. Plus, the bride painted a spectacular (seriously) triptych for the ceremony that made my day.
