Mariangela & Ryan’s beach brunch vow renewal

This pair are celebrating more than 14 years of happy marriage: they’re also celebrating a big change in faith. They started this new path with a beach-side ceremony and brunch-style potluck. They had singers at the ceremony, a sunny ceremony in a rainy day, and an epic and romantic beach run a la Dudley Moore and Bo Derek.

Kelsey & Meghan’s classic happy-sappy wedding

These two ladies decided early on that priorities were key and they wouldn’t be going into debt from the wedding. And they were able to pull together a lovely ceremony and dancefest reception (with s’mores!). You might also never guess that the bride’s two dresses and all the dresses in the wedding party were handmade, too!

Natalie & Iliana’s laid-back bounce house wedding

With s’mores, hula hoops, a bounce house (carefully hidden from kiddie’s eyes until after the ceremony), and a photo booth, there was something for all the kids and the young and heart to enjoy. They also had access to authentic homemade Latin food (made by one of the brides’ families!) and an amazing venue, all somehow on a low budget!
