Edgy Pittsburgh Wedding at Bar Marco

September 13, 2016 | Junebug Weddings

When Giueseppe surprised Alyssa with a proposal at Bar Marco during a staged styled photo shoot, we couldn’t wait to see the wedding that would follow! Sure enough, the edgy couple didn’t disappoint with a vintage-inspired industrial wedding at the same venue. Adding a few natural elements to the inside of Union Hall provided a cozy atmosphere in the urban location. Both the bride and groom were dressed to the nines, Alyssa in a uniquely stunning Erin Grey Couture gown with pearls draped across her shoulders and Giuseppe in a rust-colored suit topped off with a black hat.

The Couple:

Alyssa and Giuseppe

The Wedding:

Bar Marco/Union Hall, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

Since we were getting married in the Strip District of Pittsburgh, we wanted to bring nature into the city. The minimalist look of the Union Hall was the perfect canvas for our big day. Since we wanted to stay with the minimalist theme, we tried to bring nature in the room without over crowding it. We built an archway out of ferns and ivy, and constructed a chandelier made of test tubes that held flowers and ferns that hung over the altar, with a natural moss runner down the isle.

We chose to write our own vows, and our friend Chris wrote a custom ceremony focusing on our love for each other since he’s been a close friend of ours since we had started dating. Our ceremony was about celebrating the differences that bring us all together, no matter where we stand in our faith or where we came from. We decided on having a non-denominational ceremony with universal love as our main theme so that all of our family and friends could feel welcomed in celebrating this incredible day with us. In my vows to Alyssa, I promised her that I would cultivate a home full of equality, passion and laughter and celebrate her victories and mourn her losses as if they were my own, and to always be faithful no matter where the world would take me in my travels. She promised to love me wildly without end and assured me that her promises would change and grow over time but she will always love me at my strongest and at my weakest, and support me in all of my endeavors apart as well as together as husband and wife.

Our most memorable part of the day, other than the getting hitched part was escaping to the roof top of Bar Marco for a few portraits after the ceremony. It gave us a chance to really process what just happened and get to spend some time alone (along with Jonathan from Hot Metal Studio). The light was amazing for some personal portraits and they are some of our favorite portraits of the day.

My last name “Capolupo” means “head wolf” and Alyssa‘s love for deer gave us the inspiration for our website and wedding title “The Wolf and the Dear.” The wolf is a symbol of strength and grace and the ‘dear’ being a symbol of elegance, innocence and beauty in all things.

This Beachy Bridal Inspiration Has a Moody Romantic Twist

September 12, 2016 | Junebug Weddings

this-beachy-bridal-inspiration-has-a-moody-romantic-twist-allison-markova-photography-1

This beachy bridal inspiration by Allison Markova Photography goes beyond a stark white gown and bare feet with a moody romantic twist. If boho glamour is more your speed, and the water calls to you to say “I do,” everything about this shoot — from the floral design to the gown choices — is yours for the taking. The embellished cream Free People bridal gown provides a vintage-inspired alternative to your usual beach wedding gowns. Instead of dressing up the bridesmaids in bright colors, a lovely oxblood complements the natural landscape of Jamestown, Rhode Island. Dhalias, feathers, berries, and leaves arranged by Flowers by Semia into a bouquet and crown are the icing on the cake of this dramatic beachy bridal shoot.

From the Photographer: The inspiration for this shoot came from where much of my inspiration as a photographer comes from in general, nature. My background is in Environmental Science and I aim to be a conservation photographer –  but this love for nature also makes me love capturing elopements and adventurous weddings – chasing unique landscapes and incredible light.

Rhode Island is such a beautiful state with so much local talent, I couldn’t think of a better place for this than Jamestown. As a photographer I strive to convey depth and substance in my work but sometimes it’s nice to approach it in a more surface artistic way and it’s really satisfying to see the details and elements of a styled shoot come together to communicate a complete creative vision. I didn’t want anything too overdone for this shoot, but instead to look as if they belong there and to capture Emily and Sam’s natural beauty and strong independent spirits.

We based all of the style choices (wardrobe, floral designs, paper goods, etc.) off of the landscape. Semia and her gifted team created the most organic and wild floral arrangements and Shasta whipped up this stunning paper goods suite in just a week! It really was a team effort and vision and hopefully we were able to create something magical.
