This couple took their own wedding photos in Yosemite National Park
Shawn and Marcie got married in the Oakland California Temple after being friends for 16 years and partners for nine. Marcie says, “When I say finally, it’s like a FINALLY, married.” Cameras aren’t allowed inside, but photos still happened — courtesy of the couple themselves! Shawn and Marcie took a few images of their own reception before trekking five hours to Yosemite National Park where they did their own formal wedding portraits. They took turns behind the camera, even shooting in film! The results are intimate, personal, and (ahem) au naturale. Just saying you need to scroll to the very end.
Janet & Phil’s intimate tandem bike-themed wedding
Get ready for tandem bicycles, colored crinoline (with matching veil!), and the prettiest little backyard wedding we’ve seen in a while. It may be small, but it packs a punch in emotion. Don’t miss their custom Cards Against Humanity deck, handmade flower bouquet, and major board game setup. These two are introverts, but it didn’t stop them from sharing a lot of amazing non-spotlight time with those they love most. Learn from then, fellow introverts!

Ian & Jonathon’s laid-back wedding with cupcakes and vests
These two are killing it with cute. You have to see their green and blue matching vest outfits and the bride’s pants outfit with heels and a feather hair clip. Though this wedding had some serious grief surrounding it, they were still able to have a fantastic time with immediate family, lots of rough-housing in the photos, and some carrot cake vows and Chapstick ceremony sweetness. Yep… Chapstick.
