Check out this majestic Puget Sound Wedding! The venue, The Edgewater House, is located about an hour outside of Seattle and situated directly on the water with a verdant forest backdrop.
Autumn Wedding at Barnsley Gardens + Manor Ruins
As a Landscape Architect and musician respectively, Nicole and Will are a true power couple. When we met for the first time, it was clear that their wedding in Georgia was going to be a heartfelt and hand-crafted celebration. And we were not disappointed. To begin with, their venue was a dilapidated brick manor surrounded by a wide range of landscapes, from carefully sculpted english gardens to a towering grass forest. Nicole helped design her stunningly simple gown and hand-crafted the invitations. For their first dance, they busted out a semi-choreographed creation that put the older-generation to shame. These two exude kindness, sincerity and spirit. This was clear as they danced the night away with their pack of friends and family. As the party came to an end, guests were treated to a homemade hot-sauce party favor for the trip home.

Garden Wedding at Villa Verano
To mark the occasion, Rachael and Ivey rented a house in the foothills of the Santa Ynez Mountains and spent the weekend leading up to their wedding hanging out with their closest family and friends. This peaceful house in Santa Barbara is set on 10-acres of terraced gardens with unbelievable views of the Pacific Ocean. It felt like there was no one else around for miles. One of our favorite parts of this day was the first-look between Rachael and her Dad. It was completely organic, and the reaction as he saw his daughter for the first time in her gown was so sincere. This is the best stuff in life. We're so fortunate to have been part of their day. All of our best to Rachael and Ivey!

Baja Beach Wedding
La Paz, Mexico is a is a laid-back town with old-world charm that made for the perfect, fun-filled getaway to celebrate the marriage of Jillian and Chris. A unique part of their ceremony was the incorporation of the traditional Mexican lasso where a decorative rope was placed around their shoulders in the form of an '8' to symbolize infinite union. The day was warm, the sunset was spectacular and the dance floor was packed all night. Mexico, we can't wait to visit you again soon. Congrats Jillian and Chris!

Ojai Summer Fling
Rachel and Justin’s wedding took place amongst the avocado trees and citrus groves in Ojai. The classic California backdrop of mountains and sunshine set the stage for a fun-filled celebration. The tiered venue was one-of-a-kind, as guests moved about throughout the evening from one setting to the next. Following the hilltop ceremony, guests were led to the dining area below by a three-piece band. And as the sun gave way to dusk, everyone made their way back up the candlelit walkway to dance the night away under a sky full of stars. We are so happy for Rachel and Justin – can’t wait to see what is next for this visionary couple!

Michigan Barn Wedding
Lauren and Drew's wedding took place in and around the historic, white-washed Blue Dress Barn. Covered in flowers and foliage, the grounds served as a perfect backdrop to their intimate and heartfelt ceremony. Later in the evening, family and friends moved inside to dine and dance under the soaring wood rafters that frame the iconic gambrel roof. A unique party favor, the couple made 'smores' packages for roasting over the fire as a late-night snack. Conversation and sticky 'smore' fingers carried the celebration well into the night. Thanks for sharing your friends and family with us Lauren and Drew! We had just as much fun shooting this beautiful wedding as we did enjoying conversation by the fire afterwards.

Coffeehouse Love & Courthouse Marriage
On the day of their private ceremony, Rachel and Justin kickstarted the morning with coffee from Handlebar Coffee Roasters. Despite the persistent rain, they kept warm and dry inside this quaint cafe. The rest of morning was just as warm. On the short walk to the venue, their golden-doodle Clementine joined in on the fun. The courthouse was practically empty because of the wet weather, which gave us our choice of places to enjoy the solitude. Congratulations, you two - we cannot wait to celebrate with you and your families in Ojai this summer!
Handmade LA Art Gallery Wedding
From their renowned weekend brunch gatherings to their elopement in Mexico City, Christina and Jon know how to throw one hell of a party. At All(Most) Studio & Gallery, it was a fun-filled night of celebrating with lots of family and friends. The couple, along with lots of help from their families, completely transformed the blank-slate space with handmade banners, string lights, a mariachi band and a magician - all thanks to the vision of the incredibly talented and organized Christina. Congratulations Jon and Christina - we can't wait 'til the next party you throw!
Michigan Backyard Wedding
When every single person that you invite to your wedding RSVP's yes, it means you're a special couple. Renée and Ian are that kind of couple. All the friends and family invited to this beautiful West Michigan backyard wedding not only attended, but in many cases chipped in to make this a truly heartfelt evening. Close girlfriends arranged the florals, Renée's Aunt officiated, many helped set-up the tables & chairs, dogs and kids helped forage for sticks to line the aisle, Detroit friends DJ'd the dancing + karaoke, and two talented photographer friends took a few candid film photos throughout the evening. Check them out - Noah Elliott Morrison and Mark Sommerfeld. Renée and Ian added plenty of their own touches as well including hand-drawn invitations, polaroid thank you cards and some incredible handmade plates and linens for the entire head table. See the full gallery here.
