Erica & Sean’s peaceful and elegant guests-included elopement

These two cuties were originally torn between a large shindig and a private elopement, but instead settled on an intimate tiny wedding with a few of their nearest and dearest. Plus, they introduced Indian food to a few newbies, which is always worthwhile. But the best part of all was their ceremony. Take a peek at their special reading and awesome ring vows.

Jess & Casey’s dark, snowy fairytale in the mountains wedding

We don’t even know where to start with this gorgeous shindig in the mountains of Colorado. You HAVE to see the dark, elegantly goth fashion (and makeup on the bride and groom), the nature-sourced, video game and movie-themed decor (Skyrim! Game of Thrones! Snow White and the Huntsman!), the snow-capped backdrops, and super awesome guest book idea that we’ve never seen before.
