Lindsey & Mike’s all things Texas cowboy wedding

Everything is bigger there, so why not have bigger fun in Texas? A mechanical bull and the antics that accompany it fit the bill perfectly. A camera-mugging daughter and some first-time cowboy two-steppers round out this rainy, Texas-sized wedding.

Charis & Jarrell’s serendipitous Anglo-Catholic homemade wedding

These two eco-friendly, tea-loving cuties had a DIY-filled ceremony and reception in a church with a cupcake bar and a live music jam session. Family is really important to them and it totally shows in the details. Plus, Charis’ groom’s two left feet are adorable.
