Stylish Engagement Photos on Second Beach

December 14, 2016 | Junebug Weddings

Autumn and Mike wanted their engagement shoot to be just as natural as their love for each other, so they chose the epic shores of Second Beach as their backdrop! The neutral grays and blues of this La Push, Washington location were the perfect complement for the couple’s outfits in this stylish engagement. We can’t get enough of Autumn’s cream knit sweater, and we think her beaded ivory shift dress adds a gorgeous boho element to her look. Sarah Joy Photo beautifully captured this newly-engaged couple among Second Beach‘s driftwood and sandy shores.

Congratulations to Autumn and Mike on your upcoming nuptials, and a special thanks to Sarah Joy Photo for sharing their engagement session with us! Love this couple’s trendy take on a beachfront engagement? Then you’ve got to see this adventurous Shelter Cove engagement inspiration!

Lush Ohio Wedding at The Club at Hillbrook

December 14, 2016 | Junebug Weddings

Jessica and Daniel wanted their wedding at The Club at Hillbrook to reflect the venue’s natural rustic vibes while showcasing their own modern flair and love for florals! The couple incorporated lush florals and greenery, a cool blue and gray color palette, and vintage elements in their décor to achieve an elegant yet organic atmosphere. We think Jessica’s custom lace gown by Fyodor Atelier is the perfect match for this easygoing wedding! Photography team Mallory + Justin captured every stunning detail of Jessica and Daniel’s wedding, including the couple’s indoor Jewish ceremony!

The Wedding:

The Club at Hillbrook, Chagrin Falls, Ohio

After many failed shopping trips in NYC (where we live), I decided to design a dress with Cleveland’s Fyodor Atelier. We created a simple lace dress with shoulder ties that felt understated but special, and stayed true to my style.

We took our cues from The Club at Hillbrook’s Tudor design and natural beauty. Lush florals were a big priority and we tried to blend the natural and semi-rustic elements with some more modern touches in our florals, linens, candles and paper designs.

Processional: “God Only Knows” – The Beach Boys
Recessional: “Maybe I’m Amazed” – Paul McCartney
First Dance: “Islands In The Stream” – Dolly Parton & Kenny Rogers

Having both indoor and outdoor space was a top priority, and The Club at Hillbrook’s beautiful grounds and open-air patio were the perfect fit.

We didn’t choose any official colors, but after selecting grey linens for the tables, we started to gravitate towards blues and grays. Our family ended up wearing those shades, and everything was tied together beautifully with our awesome flower wall/photo booth backdrop!

Neither of us like being the center of attention, but “Islands in the Stream” holds a lot of meaning and memories and it felt great to finally dance to it together.
