Have you ever loved someone so much that you wanted to scream it from the top of the world? Alana and Duncan’s Sea to Sky Gondola engagement may as well have been just that, as the pair took in the Howe Sound from an epic suspension bridge in Squamish, British Columbia. Wonderlust Photography brilliantly captured the couple’s love for travel and each other in these breathtaking shots in one of the most beautiful overlooks the world has to offer.

If succulents and farm tables are your jam, Michael Ann and Jonathan’s Cuyahoga Valley wedding is everything you love in one place. The Ohio celebration began with a first look among the trees and ended with an intimate fireside reception, and every detail in between was just as special and thoughtfully placed. Oak & Honey Events created a barn wedding scene with dark wood, delicate air plants, and a touch of gold, all of which was meticulously captured by Addison Jones Photography. We love a wedding with interactive elements, and Sweet Water Caravan providing delicious mixed drinks and a quiet spot for the newlyweds to snuggle just might be our favorite yet.
Addison and her assistant were so fun and by the end of the day were just like family. They reassured me whenever I got insecure, jazzed us up if we started to fade, and were just like family. I totally recommend doing an engagement shoot like we did with Addison. By the time the wedding came, we knew what poses we liked the most, how she wanted us to stand, and had developed a great rapport; it took all the stress off.
I grew up in the MetroPark area and always loved fall. After some searching, we found the Hines Hill campus and when we went to visit it within seconds we were sold. Being able to have so many different areas was great and unique. In seven hours we were able to have the ceremony under a huge tree, cocktails in front of a cottage, dinner in a barn, and socializing around a fire pit. Plus, the staff was great to work with and totally on board for anything we wanted to do!
We are a simple couple who appreciate the basics so we let the venue and surrounding nature shine and lead the color choice. I loved the succulents and the modern touch they bought to the venue while still complementing it nicely. Any fabrics we chose were natural to let the beautiful barn and farm tables we had.
Our wedding planner was just, fantastic. She sourced nearly every single part of our wedding and made it all flow together seamlessly. The months leading up to the wedding were full of lots of conversations and Pinterest exchanges and she found a way to make all our visions come true. The day of she pulled everything together in record time (literally two and half hours) and was able to advocate for us when we needed space and pull together pizza when we needed late night snacks. We loved working with her.
Sweet Water Caravan was SO fun. Not only was their whole set up unique but they were the perfect combination of laid back and professional. Every one had mentioned how great their set up was and how nice and accommodating they were. We really had a great time because of them.
Right away we knew we wanted a small party so that everyone could spend time with one another and be the most comfortable they could be. Since our ceremony started at noon and we had the venue until 9 pm we wanted an all day party that people wanted to stay around for and would look back on and think of how fun and relaxed it was.
This Iceland destination wedding brought tears to our eyes – getting to watch two people begin their happily ever after is one of the best feelings in the world! Maddie and Joe met through a mutual friend on Instagram, and they fell in love six weeks before they ever met in real life. Both being photographers, they knew that the pictures and video of their wedding would be the most invaluable physical takeaways from the day. Luckily, they have a talented set of friends – Micah Hamilton of Micah Visuals created a beautiful video tribute and Gregory Woodman captured some breathtaking photos of the couple in front of Budir Church, the tiny black wooden church where they wed. With views of the magical Snaefellsjokull glacier in the background, Maddie and Joe vowed to love each other passionately all the days of their lives.
We tried to plan a big wedding in Nashville and it just got overwhelming knowing that we had to book our venue a year or two in advance. So we decided to go smaller and Iceland has always been on our minds. We’d seen photos of the Budir Chapel and knew we had to find it.
I had always wanted a wedding dress with a low back and the second I found that Katie May dress, I knew. I added on lace straps and went with a champagne color because of my pale skin. I got a necklace from Anthropologie that looked like a crystal/rock, which I am still obsessed with and it went perfectly with our surroundings in Iceland. My maid of honor wore a floor-length simple black dress.
The most memorable part of the day was our first look. We don’t think that we will ever feel the emotion that we felt at that moment. We were able to have that precious alone time to calm our nerves and share our personal vows before the ceremony.
We wanted a very intimate ceremony with close friends and family. We definitely did not go the traditional route. There were maybe 10-15 people at our wedding – and we wouldn’t have had it any other way. We truly got to share that moment with the ones we love most. Our good friend officiated and was able to share our story on how we met through Instagram.
I think there are always going to be surprises on wedding days. Good or bad. Like we were all running a little late and decided to cancel our reservations for dinner back in Reykjavik and just run into the hotel that was right next to our chapel. Wedding dress and all. We all crammed into this booth, had drinks, told stories, and ate sandwiches. It was perfect.
It was wonderful working with our photographer on the day of. We are both photographers, so photos and video were one of the most important things to us. We were so lucky to have our good friends capture those moments for us.
Many, many thanks to videographer Micah Hamilton of Micah Visuals for sending us this wedding. Maddie and Joe’s big day was absolutely breathtaking from beginning to end, and we wish them a lifetime of happiness together!
