Jessica and Mike crossed their fingers and toes a forecast of rain wouldn’t interrupt their Baltimore wedding day. Unfortunately, a torrential downpour began just as they were saying “I do,” eliminating any chance of taking newlyweds portraits around their beautiful venue. Photographer Justin Kunimoto jumped to the rescue with a Plan B, arranging a post-wedding session at sunset. Without the stress of a wedding timeline, Jessica and Mike were completely calm and enjoyed these solo moments overlooking the skyline as a light breeze moved effortlessly around them.
Helena and Ante turned up the volume on their traditional Croatian wedding with unexpected fashion choices and DIY elements. Helena wore a lace gown covered in delicate floral details from eNVy room paired with a pair of fierce yellow peep-toe pumps. Nina Photography documented the entire day, from the couple preparing to say “I do” to shaking off the nerves and tying the knot in a beautiful church ceremony. Finally, the grand reception took place at Marincel, where ceiling to floor was decorated in lace, burlap, and romantic shades of pink and white.
My wedding style was very romantic. From the moment I started imagining my dress, I knew it had to be all lace. My hair had loose curls and was decorated with white flower wreath. The bouquet was made of pink and white flowers. The only thing that stood out were my yellow shoes!
Saying ‘we do’ was the best part. Everything before that was nice, but a bit nervous, and everything after the church was fun and really quickly over so the ceremony must be ‘it.’
We wanted it to be romantic, so we chose light pink, white and a bit of green and put it on everything – flowers, invitations, and thank you gifts. Of course, lace and burlap are inevitable, so they could also be found all over the place. We gave out homemade schnapps that was also decorated with lace by my friends and family.
Our first dance was Al Green’s “Lets Stay Together,” and we found the choreography on YouTube. It looked so much better on YouTube than on our tape, but it was funny.
Heather and Daniel’s Charlotte military wedding brilliantly balanced their traditional marriage values with a fun party for their friends and family. After the couple said “I do” in a church ceremony, Rob + Kristen Photography captured their first moments together as husband and wife in the Daniel Stowe Botanical Garden. Guests danced the night away inside the elegant venue, which was decorated to the nines by Southern Savvy Events.
My husband and I are both pretty traditional when it comes to marriage, but we don’t take ourselves too seriously, so we wanted a timeless yet non-stuffy feel to our wedding. Getting married in a church, not seeing each other before I walked down the aisle, the bridal party’s traditional attire, and military ushers helped create the classic feel. At the same time, the easy-going attitudes of our bridal party, the fun dance music played by our DJ, and the willingness of our guests to get out and have a good time really kept things from being too formal. We were shooting for timeless, romantic, and fun, and I think that’s what we ended up with! Looking back at our pictures, we feel like our wedding could have taken place 10, 20, or 50 years ago, and we love that.
Our photographers were amazing! We spent a lot of time with them during the actual wedding day, and their calm-yet-professional attitudes really helped the day go smoothly. We had a large, diverse wedding party, and all of them commented later on how great the photographers were. We were so glad we chose Rob + Kristen!
One of the best things was watching our families and sets of friends, most of whom had never met before, interact and enjoy each other. It seemed like everyone of all ages was out on the dance floor, and we had several “epic” dance moments. On a sentimental note, when we were driving away from our reception, my husband leaned over to me and said “this has been the best day of my life so far, but now our real adventure begins.” It was a great moment to reflect on the whole point of the day- to come together as husband and wife for the rest of our lives.
