Wedding Inspo

When you’re planning a wedding, really good wedding photography can almost be like looking at dirty pictures! This is our archive of posts focused more on wedding photography (and less on written explanations).

A most colorful DIY wedding + bonus canine attendant

Rachel and Rich’s photographer, Pilster Photography, described Rachel as “the queen of DIY” so I know some of y’all are going to love this super happy celebration. These two had a limited budget and pulled together a day that radiates sunshine and giggles — complete with having their dog come along for the day.

Vintage frames, gears, and books: A spectacular British steampunk wedding

These two put a lot of thought into every aspect of the day — they designed their own outfits (including modifying purchased items when they couldn’t find what they were looking for) and combined their design and computing skills to create the bespoke invitations, stationery, and a website to match the theme. Adam’s mum and best man designed the centerpieces, and the pair had some of Adelina’s family’s old jewelry redesigned into unique wedding bands with a never-ending vine engraved on them. I LOVE!

Rachel & Dave’s urban clock tower dance party

Put on your goggles and your neo-Victorian gear, because this is STEAMPUNK WEEK! Today’s wedding isn’t technically steam-y, but it does have lots of clock-y goodness, so we couldn’t resist including it! Just wait until you see this venue! Five floors of awesome views? Yes, please. You’ll also never guess how this pair chose their wedding date.

Let’s get fancy with two kayaking brides and the cutest elephant cake topper you ever did see

Angela and Ashley got married after Prop 8 was overturned in California and boyyyyy did they do it up! From the bridal gifts (a kayak and a surfboard) to the shot of vodka they took (at the altar!) as their first drink, it’s pretty clear they were having a gooood time. I highly recommend watching the same day edit wedding video from Imperial Video if you want to get your emotions on — or if you just want to see Angela dancing up the aisle with both of her parents.
