Allison & Christopher’s simple sunflowery garden wedding

This couple opted for a simple, sweet morning ceremony and a casual brunch for a day full of flowers, bubbles, and lots of love. Summer, sunflowers, sun streaming through the trees… I’m bookmarking this wedding for dark winter days.

Lauren & Johnny’s rockin’ seaside aquarium boda

An authentic taco bar, a garage rock band, and the most awesome hand-illustrated invitation… need I say more? This South-of-the-border-influenced bash boasted lots of fun details and a gorgeous seaside ceremony. And you’ll love the bride’s Burning Man-inspired flaming copper flower bouquet!

Jennifer & Rick’s romantic candlelit Daft Punk music wedding

When you meet at Coachella and share a passion for music, it’s only right to honor it with a rockin’ after-party featuring all the music from the concerts you’ve seen. Add in some band name table numbers, glow sticks, Ring Pops, and a Daft Punk cake, and these guests were ready to dance. But not before an ultra-romantic candlelit ceremony!

Jessicah & Adam’s punk pop culture-filled wedding

This couple met making films and decided it was only right to make it official in the theater where they’ve spent so much time together. In addition to throwing out tons of references to their favorite shows and movies, these kids actually made two short films to start off the ceremony! If that wasn’t enough, you’ll get to see the groom’s rad giant green mohawk.
