This Halloween wedding had a lightsaber duel first look

Some Halloween weddings really bring the horror, but Vida and Zach reminded us that “subtle” and “spooky” are not mutually exclusive at their adorable and fun Halloween wedding!

A cozy & cosmic New Jersey wedding by the sea

It made sense for us to have a seaside New Jersey wedding at The Grenville Hotel! Our wedding was an ode to the beach, the stars, and cosmic joy. In lieu of anything religious, much of the energy at the wedding was sheer gratitude for existence. Since we both love astronomy and the vastness of the cosmos, we wanted our wedding to have an ethereal, contemplative quality.

This couple went back to school for their celestial sci-fi wedding

Natalie and Ryan first met in film class at the University of Colorado – so it only makes sense that 15 years later, this alumni couple would return to seal the deal! Back in school, they had bonded over a shared love of Star Wars and all things film. So for the big day, they wanted a sci-fi wedding with starry ties, alien worlds, and Star Wars-themed cornhole!

Devotions & Dragons: a Jewish/Christian interfaith wedding

Our wedding was as eclectic as Jordan and I are ourselves! I am Christian and Jordan is Jewish so, while we only had a Rabbi at the ceremony, she made sure to highlight our interfaith relationship. The general theme of the wedding was the game that brought me and Jordan together nearly 6 years ago: Dungeons & Dragons!
