Taking off the makeup to reveal this gorgeously simple couples’ shoot
Andy and Justin won this gorgeously simple couples’ shoot from their photographer and we couldn’t dig it harder. Despite the fact that Andy (aka one of Cheltenham’s premier drag artistes, Pandora La Roux) spends much of his time wearing a wig, a dress, and five inches of makeup, this shoot was simply about love and gorgeous scenery.

This simple mountain wedding had handmade cakes and a stunning black and white dress
This baker and her groom rocked a simple and gorgeous wedding in the mountains where they grew up. She challenged herself (with a back-up plan!) to bake her own cakes for the wedding and knocked it out of the park. You’ll want to see them. Oh, and her amazing black and white dress and sweet flower crown. This pair is stunning at their simple mountain wedding.

Sweet simplicity: Sam & Meghan’s small, simple Winter wedding
This was a very small and simple Winter wedding — a celebration of our relationship. There were 17 guests in attendance, just immediate family and best friends.

We had few decorations, no theme, no wedding party, no rehearsal dinner, no formal invitations, no gifts, no dancing — and it was glorious.
