Travel-loving couple Amy and Zach have spent the duration of their relationship exploring the great outdoors around their home of San Diego and beyond. To celebrate their engagement, they made the big trip from California to Banff for a romantic adventure in the Canadian Rockies. Luckily for us, Terry Photo Co. was there to capture all of the picturesque views and intimate moments.

Zach and I met at work but we fell in love at a Mumford & Sons concert. Before the concert, I just knew him as this cute, funny, red head who worked with me. We had friendly polite conversations before, but it wasn’t until the concert that I realized what a wonderful man he was. At work I was discussing the concert with some of my friends and asked Zach if he was going. He responded that him and some buddies were going and that we should all meet up. What I didn’t know until months down the line, was that he bought tickets the morning of the concert (at a pretty penny, might I add) so that he could ask me out on a date. His plan worked, we had so much fun and he was such a gentleman to me and my friends that I couldn’t help but realize how truly special he is.

We grew closer by exploring our love of traveling and the outdoors together. We’ve spent many trips traveling to places such as Yosemite, Colorado, and the Canadian Rockies. Just months before our two year anniversary, Zach got done on one knee on a beautiful beach in San Diego, California. He planned it on a beautiful evening with a gorgeous sunset. He had made sure to include my family who lives in Florida, by inviting my mom out for the engagement. He presented me a beautiful ring and a promise of a life time of adventure together.

Olga’s sweet auburn fringe, bouquet of peonies, and lovely lace gown stole the show as she tied the knot with Bartek in their intimate Warsaw wedding. Before exchanging vows in a traditional church ceremony, the pair posed for portraits with WhiteSmoke Studio, who captured romance, architecture, and the heart of Olga and Bartek’s love in each frame. The celebration concluded with dinner and dancing at Hotel Bristol Warsaw.

In terms of venue and decor, we wanted our wedding to be classic with a vintage touch. Since we are based in Warsaw and interested in its history and culture, we decided on a motif that references Warsaw’s artistic life of the ’20s and ’30s. Since the wedding held in June, we decided to take advantage of seasonal flora, thus we picked up peonies and spring ingredients.

Classically Beautiful Wedding at Magnolia Manor

January 20, 2016 | Junebug Weddings

Classically-Beautiful-Wedding-at-Magnolia-Manor-Hartman-Outdoor-Photography-18

It doesn’t get more classically beautiful than Rachel and Chris’ Magnolia Manor wedding. Though the couple now live in New York, they chose to honor the bride’s Southern roots with a wedding in North Carolina. The whole scene was elegant as could be, as Rachel, wearing an exquisite lace gown by Tony Ward Couture, said “I do” to Chris in an outdoor ceremony beneath towering trees. The wedding décor was simple and chic, relying on neutral colors and natural elements to highlight the already stunning venue. Hartman Outdoor Photography effortlessly captured the magic shared between Rachel and Chris on their romantic day.

The Wedding:

Magnolia Manor, Warrenton, North Carolina

I loved my wedding dress because it was all of those things. The designer, Tony Ward, actually customized the dress and added lace sleeves to make it more classic/romantic. And I thought the lace was beautiful. The swiss dot sheer material at the bottom felt very southern. And there was just a touch of beading, which was nice for the evening.

Honestly, it was the moment of standing in front of every person we love and who loves us and promising to love each other. That was a feeling of joy and just love that was beyond what either of us anticipated.

Our photographers were amazing. We actually hadn’t met them beforehand because it was hard to coordinate trips down to NC for wedding planning + meeting them. So I’m sure there was a little nervousness on both sides. Shelley and Josh came in and made everyone feel relaxed. And they were fun! Our guests loved them.

We wanted simple but classic. And we really wanted to highlight the natural beauty of where we were. So we had our wedding outside and we kept with the rustic nature of the barn for our reception. Twinkle lights, white table clothes, simple flower arrangements kept true to that theme. I think the lighting and simplicity made it a very romantic vibe.
