A beach-and-boat-house Cape Cod wedding with a canine ring bearer

Amanda and Ilana were wed in Cape Cod, Massachusetts, and the pair’s “wicked good” wedding day included roses, a furry ring bearer in the form of the couple’s dog, and a charming hand-painted wooden directions sign. The two traveled by golf cart from their intimate beachside ceremony to the paper lantern and twinkle light covered boat house reception spot, where they were greeted by guests and a tower of chocolate desserts. Remember how Megan thought this photographer’s work looked almost unreal? Wait until you see the final shot of the night — it’s a cinematic explosion of lens flare love!

An amphitheater wedding in Colorado with gratuitous dog adorableness

Dayna and Jason’s Colorado wedding had so much going for it: Dayna’s short and sweet dress, Jason’s Boston tie, their walk down the aisle together, the amphitheater setting with a view we can’t even handle right now, and GRATUITOUS DOGGY SHOTS! This pooch is walking down the aisle, front-and-center at the ceremony, and then falling asleep in the middle. We are bowled over with cuteness. Then it’s on to the reception where there’s carb-loading and robin’s egg centerpieces.
