A stunning Jamaican wedding shoot with a ganja rolling station

Chris and Joan rocked a stunning destination Jamaican wedding at Borghinvilla with a fabulous gown, soaring views, huge floral centerpieces, and a lantern send-off.

Hair Glitter is the wedding accessory you didn’t even know you needed!

You might remember our sponsor oVertone as the collection of colorful-infusing conditioners that help you keep your mermaid/unicorn/alien/fairy hair vibes going between dye jobs.

Freaking HAIR GLITTER!!!

Look at all the ways you can use it…

Natya and Kris had a small but kick-ass ceremony at the famous Voodoo Donuts in Portland, OR. There were, as always, about 20 people in line at the store and many more outside along the sidewalk. This meant that there were tons of onlookers, many of whom only just realized there was a tiny wedding happening.
There were gorgeous photos out by the waterfront, a sweet (literally and figuratively!) donut-filled ceremony with Ring Pop rings, and a gorgeous pair of ladies in love. Let’s take a peek at this Voodoo Donuts wedding…
