Leather, cigars, & Samoyeds at this burly bearded couple’s winter in Maine wedding inspiration

At a Glance

Brant and Erik have been together for eight years and are engaged but didn’t have time for a wedding at the moment due to Brant opening a confection restaurant/bar(!). So they had this amazing photo shoot with their dogs featuring leather details, cast iron, wood beams, and cigars, all set within deep pink florals and rustic greenery. Don’t miss the epic floof on those two Samoyed pups and the cake cut with an ax!

Brant and Erik have been together for eight years and are engaged but didn’t have time for a wedding at the moment due to Brant opening a confection restaurant/bar(!). So they had this amazing photo shoot with their dogs featuring leather details, cast iron, wood beams, and cigars, all set within deep pink florals and rustic greenery.

Brant is sober and Erik loves whisky, so they rocked both whisky cocktails and amazing mocktails (the recipes of which we’re going to share in a separate post because ZOMG they look good!). Keep an eye out for those coming soon. Fun fact: in between shots, Erik brushed his beard with a purple Hello Kitty beard comb.

Don’t miss the epic floof on those two Samoyed pups and the cake cut with an axe!

    This aesthetic is right at the cross-roads of traditional masculine and traditional feminine and I LOVE IT.

    This wedding is gorgeous and very romantic. The grooms beards makes my husbands beard look puny! I’m eating lunch right now and the food is making what I am having for lunch look pitful. Congrats to happy couple. Oh yeah, cute dogs never hurt eiher.
