Inspired by springtime in Michigan and the timelessness of their family’s wedding before theirs, Molly and Drew’s Grosse Pointe War Memorial was sophisticated as could be and everything they imagined. To ensure that every moment and detail was documented with care, the couple enlisted Julie Pepin Photography to capture their day. The resulting images are artistic, romantic, and filled to the brim with joy!

The Couple:

Molly and Drew

The Wedding:

Grosse Pointe War Memorial, Grosse Pointe Farms, Michigan

We listened to the stories from grandparents’ and parents’ weddings, and were inspired by how uncomplicated they seemed. So we wanted the day and the wedding fashion to stay simple, easy with a touch of classic sophistication. With the decor, we wanted to evoke the sense of joy and hopefulness that comes with a Michigan spring.

Listen to your heart when it comes to everything – from the dress, to the venue, to the guest list. Don’t get caught up in all of the hype. Splurge on a great photographer. Julie Pepin was an absolute dream. I followed her work before and after the wedding. She was professional, calm, organized, and beyond talented. I couldn’t have been happier!

Breathtaking Post-Wedding Photos at Cape Schanck

January 4, 2016 | Junebug Weddings

Breathtaking-Post-Wedding-Photos-at-Cape-Schnack-Motta-Weddings-19

After saying “I do” in a traditional church ceremony, Camille and Nathan hit the road in their little red corvette to Cape Schanck for a romantic post-wedding photo shoot with Motta Weddings. Nathan looked sharp as ever in his classic tux, while Camille’s stylish bridal look included a lace and taffeta gown with light blue accents. We love that she even paired festive blue ornaments on her shoes to match!

Bohemian Chic Bali Wedding at Puri Wulandari

January 4, 2016 | Junebug Weddings

Bohemian-Chic-Bali-Wedding-at-Puri-Wulandari-Terralogical-Photography-17

When planning their Bali wedding, Ricarda and Erik told Simply Chic Weddings they wanted a bohemian chic affair inspired by the weddings of Kate Moss and Tori Praver. Even with elegant and romantic fairy tale styling, the most beautiful part of the wedding was Ricarda and Erik exchanging their vows in a gentle rainstorm. Terralogical Photography masterfully captured the enchanting fog that hung over Puri Wulandari, as well as the exquisite décor that filled Uma by Como for the reception.

The Couple:

Ricarda and Erik

The Wedding:

Puri Wulandari, Bali, Indonesia

I wanted a bohemian chic wedding, informal but still proper, fairytale like but not princess. For the inspiration think a mix of Kate Moss’ garden and Tori Praver’s wedding, we wanted something similar.

The ceremony was our most favourite part. It rained cats and dogs before and after the vows but in between the rain stopped for ten minutes and it felt like the earth stood still and everything was about our reunion. To look into the faces of our parents and family and to feel their love for us. Also, our both dad’s wedding speeches were absolute tearjerkers! What also amazed us was how our wedding planner managed to exceed expectations on the flower and table arrangements and the overall orchestration of the day. Everything was just perfect.

Erik is Dutch-Indonesian, I grew up in a small town with lots of greenery. Bali was our first and only choice as we have been in love with the place for a very long time and it almost feels home to us. We wanted a green, garden-style wedding with a dramatic element, so Ubud was just perfect. Uma by Como is a beautiful boutique resort hotel with an amazing jungle backdrop and their service is remarkable. Our solemnisation was at The Puri Wulandari, quite tucked away, and they don’t usually do many weddings. When we visited it for the first time we both had goosebumps and knew that’s the one.
