This art gala wedding created an exhibition of art by family & friends!
The overall theme was Unity Through Art. I am an artist, and both my husband and I come from a long line of professional artists and grew up immersed in fine art culture. So, we decided to celebrate our wedding in the form of an art exhibit.
We held an art gala wedding that showcased the collective artwork of our closest family and friends and celebrated our local neighborhood of Astoria.

A romantic Ohio forest elopement for two (with purple hair and smoke bombs!)
Kitti and Sean wanted a private and intimate Ohio forest elopement for two. They want it private, but they also wanted it to represent their style. Their photographer met them at the entrance to the forest at Pine Quarry Park in Reynoldsburg, Ohio. There was a private ceremony, a gorgeous cake, and a few stunning portraits (some with colorful smoke bombs — the groom’s idea!).
Let’s get a tiny look at this secluded Ohio forest elopement…
This chic Halloween wedding had serious style (AND live performances by the groom!)
Jen and Brian had an atmospheric and totally chic Halloween wedding at Turner Hall Ballroom in Milwaukee, WI.
As their ceremony started, so did a smoke machine which gave the space a lovely early morning cemetery feel while the couple stood next to each of their “headstone” columns. There was a gorgeous Nightmare Before Christmas cake, darkly gorgeous centerpieces, black cat shoes, and a to-die-for sweets table.
Masked romance: a quirky masquerade-themed engagement story in the rain
I’m no Cinderella. As a child, I was one with the sword saving the prince-in-distress. But somehow I was the one, 20 years later, with a fairy godmother, the gown of my dreams, and a magical masquerade ball. Just after midnight, instead of the dream melting away, my very own button-nosed Prince Charming poured out his heart, asked for my hand, and sealed it with a kiss and a sparkling sapphire.
Eight-year-old Lydia, eat your heart out. Here’s how my real life fairy tale engagement story played out…
A glam Halloween wedding with a black dress and beignets
“We wanted the look and feel to invoke a sort of luxurious, devil came down, cozy funeral for two, eternal love and damnation sensation.” Mission fabulously accomplished! Just wait until you see THE DRESS, the burgundy suit, the pre-wedding boudoir shoot, and the killer venue (that was totally a last-minute save!).
