Who said destination weddings have to be on the beach? Frances and Shaun chose a historical town nestled into the foothills of Genoa, Nevada for their intimate and charming spring wedding celebration. The couple said “I Do” at the idyllic Genoa Community Church. The bride’s classic lace wedding gown and pink rose bouquet were perfectly complimented by two delightful flower girls dressed in soft pink. The groom wore a chic black suit. The couple hosted a dinner reception at...
Kate and Stephen's causual Montauk wedding combined country and coastal styles and the result is gorgeous! The beach ceremony was a barefoot and sunny affair with plenty of relaxed nautical touches. Gurney’s Inn played host to the event and the venue's natural beach and cottage beauty was complimented by a fresh green and neutral wedding color palette. After the ceremony guests moved from the beach (stopping for a few quick “lawn” games) to the deck patio for a sunset...

To invite, or not to invite, children to the wedding is a topic that has long caused strife to wedding planning couples. Some say a wedding with drinking and dancing all through the night is no place for children. Others think that leaving kids off the guest list is ridiculous and rude. But ultimately, it is up to the couple to choose what’s right for them, and you can’t blame a bride for thinking that no kids means no wedding day disasters. So today, we take a fun look at...
I've already told you aaaaaall about my fiancé's creative ideas for our wedding reception... long drive contest, three hole putt putt, Slam n Jam basketball, and (gasp) a dunk tank (which I'll tell you right now will not be happening). So anytime I see games incorporated stylishly into real weddings, I can hardly contain my excitement. Enter, this adorable wedding in Pasadena photographed by Acqua Photo. The wedding venue, Pandora On Green, offered the perfect setting for guests...
Marissa + Oppi Tie the Knot, captured by MIMMO & CO From the bride... Our wedding planner, Machel Reeves, helped us pick the Royal Canadian Yacht Club for our reception. It was an amazing wedding venue – providing a sublime backdrop for our ‘Toronto Island’ getaway. Our favorite moment of the day was the conclusion of the “laava,” or walk around the Guru Granth Sahib, which describes the soul’s journey to unite with the infinite. This is when the partners’ souls are...

Hector “Tank” Martinez knew his long time girlfriend Paige wanted a “biker” style proposal that included the biker community, friends, and family. He began planning in October, tricking his bike out with pink smoke and researching his...

Summer + James, captured by Casey Fatchett Photography Inspiration—I wanted the formality and grandeur of Victoria (minus the stuffiness) with the warmth and functionality of the Dashwood cottage featured in the classic chick flick, Sense and Sensibility. Most of all I wanted no white. So we settled on a wedding color palette of warm, candlelit hues, shades of muted pinks, creams, champagnes, peaches, taupes and dusty blues. Venue—We really fell in love with the Meredith...
A few months ago Refinery29 had an article on City Hall weddings....essentially they photographed a total of 32 newlyweds getting married on a single day, and the styles they rocked. One of my favorite things about City Hall weddings is that you can dress a little more close to your own style vs the expected wedding gown... all you need is a fabulous dress that may or may not be in white! Hemlines are generally shorter, and even the guys can get in on the fun with unique ways of...
I was over the moon when California wedding dress designer Cocoe Voci sent me this ridiculously adorable LA wedding captured by Miha Matei Photography.

The Natural History Museum in Los Angeles (where the bride also works) served as the ceremony and reception venue, and also inspired the couple's overall wedding...

Joanna's bridesmaids each chose...

Pasadena wedding captured by Lovisa Photo Judith and Enoth's wedding was one of the most romantic events I've ever attended! This beautiful couple tied the knot at the Westminster Presbyterian Church in Pasadena, California.

Ever since Amy-Jo Tatum introduced me to the incredibly talented Stephanie Williams, I've been a fan! I mean... how can you not be once you see her skills working behind the lens! Her photos have that soft, whispy quality brides can't get enough of, pulling out every last drop of romance from a couple's special day.
