Hannah and Justin

The Wedding:

Petit Jean State Park, Morrilton, Arkansas

Our favorite moment in our wedding was our officiant, Daniel, a very close friend, took a moment to talk about how much growth he had seen in both of us and speak love and encouragement over our marriage. Daniel told funny stories about each of us, and he shared with family how much love there was in our relationship. Our favorite moment from the wedding day however, was our first look. It was a truly beautiful moment for just the two of us to share. We will never forget standing in the rain wearing our wedding best and celebrating an unforgettable day.

Our only advice would be to do what YOU want. Don’t let the opinions of friends or family members influence your decisions. Talk to each other and decide what the two of you want to do and stick to it. Do not let the expectations of others influence it. It will only take away the joy of it all and cause you a lot of stress. You will never regret your own happiness.

Snowy Couple Session at Mt. Baker

Snowy-Couple-Session-at-Mt-Baker-Alexandra-Celia-22

This snowy couple session at Mt. Baker is here to heat things up. Alexandra Celia Photography was fortunate enough to capture the playful Gemma and Matthew as they hugged, twirled, ran, and kissed in the layers of forest snow. Gemma wore a slinky black maxi dress, but with all the warmth coming from these moments, she doesn’t look one bit cold!

Glamorous Australian Wedding at Porteno & Gardel’s Bar

December 17, 2015 | Junebug Weddings

Glamorous-Australian-Wedding-at-Porteno-and-Gardels-Bar-Damien-Milan-7

Clara and Taz’s Australian wedding at Porteno & Gardel’s Bar was influenced by the old-school glamour of Audrey Hepburn and the like. Clara is an architect by trade, and she beautifully integrated elements inspired by their venue into the design of their wedding, including a unique and elegant invitation suite! Damien Milan Photography did a brilliant job capturing the festivities from every angle, subtly mimicking the clean lines and sophisticated styling of the day in each image.

The Couple:

Clara and Taz

The Wedding:

Porteno & Gardel’s Bar, Surry Hills, New South Wales

Our theme was timeless, minimal elegance with a hint of old-school glamour. Being a designer and architect, I had a gold mine of concept images, mood boards and inspirations to draw from. Mostly, our inspirations came from art deco architecture, old black and white movies, style icons like Audrey Hepburn, and from the decor of the venue itself. Porteno has these beautiful grilles across its windows and entry doors, so I designed the pattern into our wedding invitations, the guest book, the cake topper, and even my earrings to complement it.

We were so lucky to have Damien Milan Photography capture the day for us – we met Damien and his partner Anastasia at a store/exhibition, and knew from the first moment we saw their work that we wanted them to photograph our wedding. They have a really unique style – it’s dreamy and ethereal, and like no other wedding photographer we’d seen before. We loved how they caught so many spontaneous moments and made all the photos look really natural.

My favorite moment was when Clara and I sneaked outside with the photographers for some unplanned shots, whilst all the guests were being seated for dinner. It was nice being able to spend a few moments in the quiet dusk light, just relaxing and being with each other.

I got sick soon after the wedding and had to have surgery, but the first thing I remember seeing when I woke up was my new husband beside my hospital bed, holding up a photo Damien and Anastasia had taken of our wedding – it made me completely forget about all the pain I was in, and for the first time that day I smiled and felt well again!
