Katy & Aytan’s potluck picnic wedding in the park

I just love simple and sweet weddings filled with love and no pretension. Give me a potluck in the park with the nearest and dearest and I’m sold. This wedding has that and a whole lot of sweetness between the couple. Just don’t accuse the groom of crying — it was obviously just his hair gel getting in his eyes.

Michelle & Adric’s adventure in ancient ruins wedding

Mayan ruins, a luscious deep blue corseted gown, a dashing groom who saves the ceremony… this is a wedding to savor. It practically teleports you to Belize and their amazing resort. Just watch out for the bride’s grandmother… she might tell you the real, naughty name of your drink!

Carla & Matt’s intimate mountain cabin wedding

With only immediate family and close friends in tow, this pair capitalized on the most lovely time of the season with a cabin overlooking an amazing Autumn view. The fire pit and DIYed details made the rustic cabin the perfect aesthetic. Although they had to chase down the ring bearer to snag the rings, the cuteness of the moment was well worth it. His motto was: “Fire bad!”

Alix & Nick’s WWII era 1940s elopement

Fedoras and cloche hats, seamed pantyhose, and tears of joy — I want all of these in my WWII era-inspired elopements. The good thing is, this wedding had it all plus the cutest couple you ever did see. All I could hear in my head was “here’s looking at you kid” in these photos. Travel back to the 1940s with this elopement!
