Marissa & Andrew’s pink-haired Vegas wedding with The Hoff

This bride proposed to her groom, so typical traditions are not their style. And if that’s the case, why not go all out on a pink-haired Vegas wedding with a Hasselhoff cut-out?! Add in the epic purple reception lighting, the sexy bathroom photos, and the awesome way these guests showed their love, and you’ve got one Vegas wedding to remember.

Alise & Adam’s intimate San Francisco surprise elopement

These cuties met on Tinder! After the bride’s experiences as a wedding hairstylist, the whole idea of a wedding wasn’t for her, so these two took off to San Francisco’s city hall to get married and surprise all their friends. With only four people in attendance (and one cheeky officiant!), they made it official. Don’t miss the purple hair, glittery gold dress, and amazing scenery.

Robert & Cecily’s jumpin’ the broom in Kauai wedding

This bright and beautiful Hawaiian day was meant for these two. After a handfasting on the mainland, they continued their ceremony on the beach in Kauai with a lei ceremony, jumping the broom, and a dancing on the beach. This one is intimate, lovely, and true to this adorable pair.
