When a party turns out to be a SURPRISE summer camp wedding

Shay and Chris had one main goal for their wedding: for everyone to have major fun. To achieve this, they made a drastic move and didn’t tell their guests that a wedding was happening! Yep, it was a surprise summer camp wedding in Oregon with games, bonfires, and loads of fun.

Let’s take a look at the surprise wedding shenanigans…

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…

Elegance overflows at this misty Halloween ballet wedding inspiration

This Halloween-themed spooky inspiration shoot was set in Payson, Arizona, where a fire had burned down the forest. Set in-between the trees, they staged a romantic Halloween ballet. There were horses (in skeleton costume!), a perfectly creepy and moody tablescape, mist in the trees, a tall and elegant black wedding cake, a stunning black tulle dress, and pops of blood-red and deep purple details and skulls.

A summer solstice glamping elopement in the redwoods

Amanda and Josh moved across the country to the Seattle area from the East Coast, and made a point to explore the forests and scenery. They wanted to include nature by having a “glamping” elopement in the redwoods with a long day spent in each other’s company before exchanging personal vows. And to make that day as long as possible, they got married on the longest day of the year: the summer solstice!
