Dustin and Amanda are two kind hearted people who have been in love for awhile and waited until the right time to get married. Their wedding was all vintage themed and couldn’t have been more perfect for fall. The balance between rustic and polished details speak so much of the couple– raw and real yet polished and ready at the same time. With a beautiful reveal and a wonderful relaxed ceremony, this is definitely one of my favorite weddings!
We’re so used to “trash the dress” features done by bodies of water that having a different variety like this is a nice change. Looking at this album made me think of the word “ethereal”. Maybe it’s the orange and yellow of the leaves, the bride’s outfit matched by the pretty headpiece, or maybe it’s just the way this couple lovingly looks at each other. Whatever the reason is, it made the photos look more alive and (as I’ve said earlier) ethereal. Such a beautiful couple. Late congratulations Kaitlyn and Justin!
Not every bride and groom can say that they got married in castle like a fairy tale prince and princess so when a couple decides to do just that, we’re all eyes and ears as to how they delivered this amazing moment. And lucky for us, our feature today was set in a venue that will make us say “And they lived happily ever after” for it was held in a castle that is just majestic in all it’s glory.The ceremony and the reception was held inside in a conservatory room that was formal and welcoming in the day and was then transformed to be fun and elegant as the day progressed. Truly a wonderful day for our couple. Congratulations Alana & Fraser!
The classic and medieval style of one of the buildings in the University of Chicago served as a perfect setting for our couple’s personality. They have always preferred classic styles and it’s not surprising that they achieved this effortlessly through their outfits and venue choices. This album also serves as some sort of preview of their wedding because they want their special day to be filled with classic and elegant details as well. But aside from this all, they did not forget to pay homage to one of the things they love to do together as a couple – sailing – when they had the rest of their engagement session by Lake Michigan. Enjoy this lovely feature and to our couple, advanced congratulations!
With our lovely bride-to-be in a gorgeous red dress and our dashing groom in a crisp suit, we can truly say that this autumn-styled engagement shoot looked classic and picture perfect. It’s not often we can incorporate the outdoors with elegance but this album is certainly an exception to that rule.
This is such an elegant event and what’s more amazing about it is that it has a homey touch to it. The ballrooms where the ceremony and reception were held were undeniably gorgeous, which the decorators should take credit for, but it’s the flow of the natural light that made it look welcoming altogether. Plus their decision to shoot after-wedding photos in the park added more omely vibe because it looked like a garden setting. What a wonderful wedding. Home is indeed where your heart is.
Prior to reading Staci & Brett’s account of their special day, looking at their photos constantly reminded me of the words “magical” and “fantastical”. There was just something so charming about their pictures but I cannot lay my finger on why. I figured it must be the backdrop since old rock textured structures and blue skies reminds me of fairytale castles but then I read a tidbit of our couple’s love story and how Staci got the idea of choosing a Disney Princess inspired wedding gown and I knew that even if the magical description of the event wasn’t planned, it surely wasn’t done in complete ignorance. Our couple even met in one of the world’s magical place, Disneyland! I hope you can see what I meant, and I know every wedding day is supposed to be magical but this one very much nailed that description.
Autum love affairs are such a classic. The combination of orange, brown, violet and yellow hues definitely spells out romance. Jessica and John’s wedding would give you that relaxed, intimate feeling of what a true wedding should feel like.
