DIY weddings are great. I find that they really embody the couple and their style to a greater depth than many cookie-cutter weddings out there. This one, captured by Jono & Laynie, is certainly unique and is full of fun and bright details. I particularly love the bride’s dress.

From the photographer…Sarah and Josh’s wedding was one of the sweetest we’ve documented this year. It was the perfect combination of charming DIY elements and elegant vintage details. It was intimate and adorable and filled with so much love - all the things you’d want to see on a wedding day.This wedding was handcrafted with love by all the closest people to the bride and groom.

Holly of Belle and Beau Fine Art Photography out of the U.K. can capture some seriously gorgeous images. She photographed a lovely wedding last spring at the luxury venue, The Taitlands in Yorkshire Dales National Park. Even with the rain (but hey, that’s part of the beauty of spring, right?), this couple and their loved ones shared a fabulous day filled with smiles and pretty pink details.

Miranda and Adam married on June 7, 2014. Miranda wore a Vera Wang dress and a sash embellished by Lou Lou Puchalka and matching headpiece. Their wedding was adorned in shades of pink, with florals made of roses, peonies, and hydrangeas. The ceremony was decorated with a gorgeous backdrop of arched trees adorned in pink flowers. There were also several DIY pieces from this wedding including the cake, made by the bride’s mother-in-law along with fun pink pom poms.

Beautiful, right? Well there’s more where that came from in this intimate California winery wedding from Michele Beckwith. I am totally in love with this wedding venue and there’s some gorgeous inspiration in these photos.

And on a more ‘technical’ note, each individual image from this post (and from here on out), is pin-friendly! A small change in the blog’s features, but one that I’m very excited about. So pin away, my friends!

From the photographer…It was an intimate wedding os about 40 people at a private estate near the wineries of the central coast (soledad to be exact, an airbnb house). They are a stylish European couple who wanted a relaxed atmosphere to celebrate with their closest friends and family. Sadly Minadora’s parents and brother have passed and there were reserved seats for them at the ceremony. She was very insistant on relaxed portraits and wanted a classic style with a bit of whimsy, hence the sofa in the vineyard. Their husky Dakota was the ring bearer. Also, some important details to her was a photograph of her and her mother, a ring she gave her and a prayer book. I photographed them along with her other details.

Alright, all bohemian lovers, like myself, I have a special treat for you. This real wedding is jam-packed full of the most amazing boho details I think I’ve ever laid eyes on. We’re talking feathers mixed with florals, a dreamcatcher ceremony backdrop, and tons of boho style attire. And when everything is captured by the talented Mary Moon, it’s truly a wedding to remember!

From the photographer…Wedding theme was thoroughly created and designed by amazing Flowerslovers team. The whole atmosphere wouldn’t be so stunning without all the gorgeous details: feathers in the hair, the arch with dream catchers, the breathtaking ceremony. Tears of the bride, smiles of the relatives – everything was so touching that day. It’s always a pleasure to shoot such a magic and sincere wedding!

Happy Friday, everyone! I’ve shared some of Ashley Ludaescher’s work before (here and here), and today I’m sharing another one of her gorgeous shoots. There’s tons of inspiration in this bright, warm day filled with gorgeous florals by Botanic Art and coordinated by Beautiful Occasions. Really though, you have to check out all the pretty little details from the hair, to the bouquets, and the amazingly styled table. Oh, and let’s not forget to mention that that last shot is a real stunner too!

From the photographer…I am thrilled to get the chance to share the work of a super talented team of vendors and felt honored to get to work with them all. We wanted to create a super chic wedding in the countryside, similar to the beautiful barn weddings we have back in California. We had so much fun organizing this shoot together and had a blast on our day of shooting. Our models, Josefin and Daniel were so sweet and just a joy to photograph. We found the perfect wedding location, Gartenglück Wegendorf, where we fell in love with the 300 year old tree in their courtyard and Hürriyet created a stunning floral garland under the tree’s canopy. Hazel was excited to debut her modeling skills alongside our adorable flower girl and ring bearer, although she was immediately fired after she tried to eat the peony collar we created for her.
