By the time Dean proposed, Yulia had already spent years picturing herself getting married in Tulum. That felt fitting for a couple whose story began because of music in the first place.

A Modern, Textured Alt-Bridal Editorial at Calgary’s Fortuna’s Row
When Junebug vendor OM Wedding Storytelling began planning this modern romantic styled shoot, the goal was surprisingly simple: create something different. Photographer Montse Zavala wanted to move away from the wedding inspiration she was seeing around her and create a look that felt modern, romantic, slightly vintage, and a little unexpected.

The Wedding Hashtag Died. Here’s What Couples Are Doing Instead
Weddings are always evolving. What felt fresh and of-the-moment a decade ago has a funny way of becoming the thing you cringe at in old photos. Ten years ago, ceremonies were full of bowties and suspenders, floral crowns, and Edison bulbs—basically a Lumineers music video come to life. And woven into all of it was the wedding hashtag: that carefully brainstormed, pun-forward mashup of two last names that couples spent real time perfecting. There were […]
