This-Couple's-Koolauloa-Hawaii-Anniversary-Shoot-Free-Trip-Paradise-13

This Hawaii anniversary shoot is especially sweet when you hear the couple’s love story. Tori and Mike had a whirlwind high school romance that initially only lasted two weeks. A few years after high school they both were back in their hometown. They talked the night away at a local bar and have been talking ever since. Photographer Tessa Tadlock went above and beyond to help them celebrate their seventh wedding anniversary in style! Tessa arranged the bouquet and picked out a previously owned, boho dress for Tori to wear. These photos really highlight Hawaii’s amazing landscape and the raw emotion between Tori and Mike, who still look at each other like they’re a couple of teenagers in high school.

White and Dusty Rose Botanical Inspired Bali Wedding at Khayangan Estate

May 12, 2016 | editorial team

Katarina and Steven fell in love with the Khayangan Estate at first sight. They both agreed that it was everything they wanted for their wedding – quiet, remote, private, and with breathtaking views. They also loved the Japanese architecture, and they wanted their wedding to equally represent both of their preferences. Their wedding planner, Flying Bride, helped define their wedding vision, ultimately incorporating orchids in everything from the invitations to the decorations and wedding favors. Terralogical Photography captured every moment from Katarina and Steven’s graceful and elegant affair, and the couple agrees that their wedding day was dearly intimate and filled with the people they love the most in this world.

The Couple:

Katarina and Steven

My favorite is the orchid lace cape for my reception and the holy matrimony. Yefta Gunawan chose a specific classic lace with a seashell pattern over nude lining and pearl beading which was extremely chic and timeless.

We chose Khayangan Estate as the designated venue. We fell in love with it at first sight. It was quiet, remote, and private, plus it had a breathtaking view! The Javanese architecture also made it feel so homey and warm, it was perfect.

Orchids became key visuals of the wedding day as they were especially meaningful to us; thus the flower described by Steven as elegant and masculine can be seen prettily gracing our wedding decoration, invitations, souvenirs, and other wedding essentials. That’s not all; orchids were also incorporated into the dress I wore to the reception.

As we wanted a small wedding with no more than 200 guests and a specific theme in mind, the most important thing for us was to see how all the elements harmoniously came together into a graceful and elegant affair. Steven didn’t want a too sweet pastel and feminine wedding so out wedding stylist decided to incorporate gray into pastel pink and purple, creating dusty versions of the colors.

It’s very important to find the right people. The lovely people who helped us in the planning were also very professional. It was such a smooth planning. They intently listened to all our ideas and selections and finally delivered something that exceeded our expectations. It was not at all stressful; we were excited and super happy.

Haven’t Considered a Courthouse Wedding? This Will Change Your Mind

May 11, 2016 | editorial team

presidio-417_blog

Morgan and Tony’s wishes for a courthouse wedding came true when they said “I do” at the Old Pima County Courthouse in Tucson, Arizona. Besides being architecturally stunning, the iconic building allowed them to have enough space to invite more people while still having the courthouse wedding they always dreamed of. Monica Mae Photography captured every moment from Morgan and Tony’s big day, starting with their private first look before the ceremony. The couple kept their planning as low-key as possible, waiting till a week before the wedding to choose a cake. They ended up with small Tres Leches cakes, decorated with fresh cut roses, for each individual table at the reception.

Aside from the first kiss as husband and wife, which was quickly followed by the realization we’d forgotten to exchange rings, the most memorable part of the day was hearing the speeches made by our closest friends surrounded by our guests. It was this moment of “This is it! This is what it’s all about.” We felt so loved.

As soon as we got engaged, we knew exactly who we’d ask to be our officiant. Carol is warm, wise and knows us so well. It felt so right having her be such a big part of the wedding. We also wanted to do something special with our grandmothers, so we asked them to be our witnesses. It’s so nice to look at our marriage certificate and see their signatures.

We knew immediately we wanted a courthouse wedding. After making a few phone calls, we were able to get permission to be married in the courtyard of the Old Pima County Court House, which is one of the most iconic buildings in our beloved Tucson. Besides being architecturally stunning, it allowed us enough space to invite more people while still having the courthouse wedding we dreamed of.

We were so low key about planning that we decided on our cake 10 days before the wedding! Rather than having a cake with multiple tiers, we had one small cake brought to each table. The cake was from a tiny shop in the Mercado San Augustine called Dolce Pastello – it was a traditional Tres Leches cake that was decorated with fresh cut roses.
