Chic Barn Wedding at Graciosa Byron Bay

December 29, 2016 | Junebug Weddings

chic-barn-wedding-at-graciosa-byron-bay-35

Between a natural ceremony arch made of bamboo, a stunning reception hall, and fab bridal style, we can’t get enough of Alyce and Mitch’s sophisticated Australian wedding! The couple selected Graciosa Byron Bay as their venue because its panoramic views of rolling green hills just past the ceremony space were too gorgeous to pass up. Alyce’s crisp white floral bouquet from Poppy & Fern and lace gown from Made With Love were truly the stars of the show – even after a very sandy beach newlywed session with Jimmy Raper Photography!

The Couple:

Alyce and Mitch

The Wedding:

Graciosa Byron Bay, New South Wales, Australia

The most memorable part of our wedding would of course have to be the ceremony… being able to share & celebrate our love with our family & friends under the bamboo arch was pretty amazing! Also having our son walk down the aisle & be a part of our day was pretty special.

Jacqui, our wonderful celebrant, asked both Mitch & I to answer some questions about our relationship which meant she was able to share our personalized ‘love story’ with our family & friends – along with having some of our close friends read passages that we felt were relevant to us & our future.

My gorgeous dress was created by the amazing team at Made with Love & my stunning bridesmaids wore handmade silk dresses by a dear friend & incredible designer Bojena King.

I met Jimmy while he was shooting my best friend’s wedding & knew I wanted him to be our photographer. We were able to lock in our dates & he was fabulous, so easy going & he really needs no instruction or direction… he knows what he is doing & captured the day perfectly. He was easy, fun & relaxed & so enthusiastic which makes you enjoy it so much more!

We gave s’mores as our favors. We wanted these as it was in one of the cooler months on the year & we thought our guests would enjoy to toast them over a fire. Sadly we found it later we weren’t able to have an open fire on the property… but that just meant everyone was able to take their treats home!

Sweet Surprise Proposal and Engagement Session in Savannah, Georgia

December 28, 2016 | Junebug Weddings

sweet-surprise-proposal-and-engagement-session-in-savannah-georgia-3

There is something so uniquely magical about surprise proposals and the moments directly following them, so we are thrilled that Stefanie Keeler Photography captured every moment of Kayla and Erik’s engagement! While Erik was taking Kayla on a walk through their Savannah, Georgia neighborhood, the couple approached a tree with photos hanging from its limbs. As they got closer, Kayla recognized that they were photos of herself and Erik, and Stefanie Keeler Photography started clicking away as Erik got down on one knee! We love how the couple took a mini adventure in a nearby field and among Savannah’s brick roads, turning this surprise proposal shoot into a romantic engagement shoot.
