Sweet and Cozy Engagement Session

P h o t o s b y J e n W o j c i k

I don’t feature many engagement sessions, but every now and then, one really catches my eye. The simplicity of an engagement session without all the details and decor makes me take a step back and appreciate the love stories within this creative industry. Jen Wojcik is also a fantastic photographer, so I love showing off her work, and this e-session is full of variation. From the beautiful gown to the cozy seaside portraits with the couple’s dogs, let these images be a reminder to enjoy the special moments with the people we love (and take a look at the words the couple has to say about each other, two true heart-melting reads).

Several months ago I featured the Nubivagant shoot from one of Erich McVey’s workshops. Any shoot at one of his workshops is guaranteed gorgeousness, so I’m thrilled to share this one titled Alate, which was also shot during his workshop in Elk, California. Jenna does an amazing job capturing all the beauty in this organic shoot styled by Ginny Au, who is my ultimate inspiration.

Hello my dear readers. I love the feel of a rustic chic wedding and this wedding sums up that phrase pretty wonderfully. From succulents to the outdoor ceremony to the donut bar, this DIY ranch wedding is truly unique to the couple. Let’s have a look at these photos by Anna Peters and see what the couple had in mind for their day…

DIY Ranch Wedding: Couple Portrait

Jacob and Kortnee decided to really go for a DIY wedding. DIY wedding projects are wonderful, and are a true expression of the couple when they decide to take on the details themselves. The couple designed their invitations, built the escort card display, did their own gorgeous table number calligraphy, and painted their own wedding signs. And to top it all off, Jacob and Kortnee both love donuts, so they opted to have a donut bar with six different flavors. Oh, and they had a pretty incredible cake too…
