There’s no better location than Joshua Tree for a free-spirited couple like Sammy and Mark to celebrate their engagement. The wild-hearted pair took in the sun, sand, and scenery as Anne-Claire Brun captured every giggle and grin. As the sun set over their Joshua Tree engagement, a light breeze whipped through Sammy’s delicate white dress, making for some truly dreamy portraits the the couple will cherish forever.
Congrats to Sammy and Mark on their Joshua Tree engagement, and a big thanks to Anne-Claire Brun for sharing! Dreaming of your own engagement photos at Joshua Tree National Park? Check out Dani and Philip’s sensual Joshua Tree engagement shoot!
A dose of Old Hollywood glamour, a copper moped, and the Sežana countryside were just a few factors of Vanja and Nikola’s wedding in Slovenia that won us over. The couple may not have taken themselves to seriously on their wedding day, but they were seriously dressed to the nines in Alexandrer McQueen and Dolce & Gabanna! Samo Rovan captured the cheeky couple celebrating at Domacija Sajna, where they enjoyed a golden hour portrait session and danced the night away to the sounds of Skitnice.
The professional that is constantly with you on your wedding day is the photographer. with Samo, things just “clicked.” We went for a coffee, and immediately felt at ease with him, which I think is the most important thing when someone is present at your wedding and its not family or friends. He is constantly there without you realizing it. He captured all of the moments (not just the key ones). He captured the energy and the love of that day. Every time we go through the album, we relive our wedding day.
When Vanja and I came back to our venue from our photo shoot with Samo, everyone were waiting for us and the band started to play our song. In that moment I picked her up and danced with her in my arms. That was the moment when it hit me that we were married and that I am the happiest man ever.
When an upcycle artist and floral designer say “I do,” you know you’re in for a treat. Michelle and Grahame began their wedding planning by searching for the most beautiful locations in the United States when they stumbled upon Point Reyes. With photographers Helena and Laurent documenting the journey, Michelle and Grahame enjoyed their California elopement in the gorgeous scenery around their rented VRBO home and exchanged vows beneath a weeping willow. The whole affair was personal, intimate, and handmade to their exact preferences. It doesn’t get better than that!
We spent the entire day together, including getting ready side-by-side. (Although I did wait to put on my dress until he was outside with the officiant.) The whole day was about feeling connected. The pictures immediately after the I do’s capture exactly how happy we were that day (and continue to be).
Grahame is an upcycle artist and we both love all things vintage, so our fashion reflected this. My dress was made from a vintage tablecloth and Grahame wore a suit purchased at a thrift store for $9. Being a floral designer, I spent hours looking at area florists but ultimately decided to design our flowers myself. I purchased flowers from the feed barn in town and clipped blooms from the gardens of the house we rented. My grandmother wore her wedding rings on a necklace after they wouldn’t fit on her arthritic fingers anymore and I wore that same necklace with her rings on our wedding day. My bracelet was given to me by Grahame on my birthday the first year we were together.
We wanted to have an adventure somewhere beautiful, far away from home, and where neither of us had been before. We did a Google search of the most beautiful places in the US and then promptly booked a trip to the Point Reyes National Seashore. We used VRBO to find a house to rent in Point Reyes Station. We found one that had beautiful gardens and a large weeping willow tree under which to exchange vows.
I did a LOT of photographer research before selecting Helena and Laurent. I Google image searched “Bay Area wedding photography” and noted photographers whose images caught my eye. If I came across a photographer more than once, I set up a consultation. Because the photographers would also be our only guests and witnesses, it was really important that we felt comfortable with them. As soon as I spoke with Laurent on the phone, I knew that I had found the right match. It was a delight to share our day with them and they were the perfect witnesses to our commitment, both as people and as photographers. Their images capture our day exactly as we remember it.. every feeling, every touch, and every smile. (We think they had a lot of fun, too!)
