Elegant-Farm-Wedding-in-Iowa-Amanda-Basteen-Photography-

Morgan and Chris’ wedding in Iowa was full of sentimental elements, most notably the venue: the groom’s family farm where so many special moments from the couple’s relationship took place. With so much nostalgia abound, it’s no wonder these wedding images by Amanda Basteen Photography are impossibly romantic. From their first look on a pier to their sunset portraits on the farm, the Morgan and Chris simply glowed with newlywed bliss!

The Couple:

Morgan and Chris

The Wedding:

Private Farm, Clear Lake, Iowa

The Inspiration:

We wanted to keep it simple and elegant. Chris‘ family farm has been a special place for us throughout our relationship — it is a place we feel the most connected with our Heavenly Father. We wanted to share this special place with our family and friends.

The bond between a photographer and couple can be almost as important as the connection between the couple itself, especially when an engagement shoot requires a little adventuring to get the shot. Jessy and Travis put their trust in Brandi Potter Photography when the trio headed into Jefferson National Forest to capture these Virginia engagement photos. The result: exceptionally beautiful and exquisitely dramatic.

Old-Fashioned Polish Wedding at Palac Obory

October 6, 2015 | Junebug Weddings

Old-Fashioned-Polish-Wedding-at-Palac-Obory-WhiteSmoke-Studio--23

Inspired by old-fashioned Polish weddings and classic British affairs, Paulina and Tomek’s wedding was elegant in every way. The pastel color palette was perfectly punctuated by freshly fallen petal from flowering trees on the grounds of Palac Obory. Paulina’s Audrey Hepburn-inspired bridal look was positively dreamy, and it’s clear from these images by WhiteSmoke Studio that Tomek couldn’t keep his eyes off his bride!

The Couple:

Paulina and Tomek

The Wedding:

Palac Obory, Obory, Poland

The Inspiration:

We wanted our wedding to be a mix of tradition, elegance and simplicity, we love the style of old-fashioned Polish weddings but also classic British ones. I am a fan of Audrey Hepburn and when I heard from one of my bridesmaids that I looked like her it was a great compliment for me.

The Moments:

We have 2 favourite moments. First one was the moment when I was walking into the church. For me it was the most stressful, magical minute of my life, I felt like in a dream, walking with my father towards the love of my life, feeling like a princess.

The second moment was when we came to the place of our wedding party after the ceremony. We came there with the bridesmaid and best man by a beautiful vintage car. Everyone was waiting for us with a glass of champagne — I think it was the moment when we felt very special and realized what have just happened in a church.

The Couple Recommends:

We just loved to work with our photographers – Dorota and Michal from White Smoke Studio. They are real profesionals but also fantastic people. Dorota and Michal were very helpfull, they gave us hundreds of advices and made the wedding a lot less stressful. And of course I don’t have to mention that the results of ther work are just amazing, do I?

The Wedding Team:

Photography – WhiteSmoke Studio
Ceremony Venue – Saint Szczepan’s Church
Reception Venue – Palac Obory
Floral Design – G Fiore
Videography – Movie Factory
Makeup Artist – Agnieszka Chełmońska
