New Jersey Garden Wedding at Liberty House Restaurant

November 12, 2015 | Junebug Weddings

New-Jersey-Garden-Wedding-at-Liberty-House-Restaurant-Daniel-Moyer--4

A spring color palette, handcrafted origami, and an outdoor ceremony at Liberty House Restaurant overlooking the Manhattan skyline are just a few of the elements that made Jennifer and Cameron’s wedding unforgettable. Luckily, Daniel Moyer Photography was there to capture it all. The couple shared a first look with shimmering skyscrapers in the distance before heading to the 9/11 Memorial for an artistic wedding portrait session.

The Couple:

Jennifer and Cameron

The Wedding:

Liberty House Restaurant, Jersey City, New Jersey

From the Couple: One of the best feelings you can experience during your wedding planning is trust in your vendors. From day one of working with Dan Moyer, our fantastic photographer, I knew that we could trust him to capture the scope of our day, as well as the small, in-between moments that will continue to resonate with us in the decades to come while flipping through our wedding images. Dan brings a contagious enthusiasm and a remarkable photographic vision. We would recommend him in a heartbeat.

The Inspiration: We wanted to go for simple elegance, with a touch of Asian themes as a nod to my heritage. With an outdoor garden ceremony and with spring in full swing by the point, we wanted our color scheme to be celebratory, seasonal, and in tune with the rest of our surroundings. We opted for rich yellows and greens, with a touch of blush. For a lovely pop of my favorite color, my bridesmaids donned gorgeous horizon blue gowns. Trees with orchids as centerpieces continued the vibrant “life” theme from the garden, while hanging Chinese lanterns and origami table cards rounded out the Asian touch.

From the Bride: My favorite moment of the wedding was following the toasts, when the dance music really kicked in and our family and friends hit the dance floor. After all the excitement and stress of the planning that went into our day, Cam and I were ready to let loose to the whole list of our favorite songs.

Intimate and Natural Couples Portraits in Iceland

November 12, 2015 | Junebug Weddings

Intimate-Natural-Couple-Portraits-in-Iceland-Charis-Rowland-Photography-63

Though we’re sure it was rather chilly beside glacier lagoon Jokulsarlon, these couples portraits in Iceland of are irresistibly hot. Ashley and Kaleb were joined by Charis Rowland Photography as they enjoyed a romantic adventure across some of Iceland’s most picturesque landscapes. From kissing beneath a waterfall in Seljalandsfoss to taking a dip in the Seljavallalaug Pool, every moment was as authentic as it was extraordinary.

From the Photographer: It’s hard to even put into words how incredible this trip was and how unreal these places are. It all still feels a bit surreal. This whole collaboration kind of snowballed from my daydreams and musings to travel plans and last minute shopping sprees. Somehow it all came together and exceeded every single expectation. Kaleb and Ashley are two of our dearest friends so once we started talking about a trip to Iceland it was hard to think about anything else. At some point I casually mentioned doing some styled shoots while there and they were totally on board so naturally all of my creative energies launched into hyperactivity dreaming up scenarios. It was amazing to capture their very real love in such a stunningly beautiful place.

Earthy Pastel Wedding at Skyloft Ski Resort

November 12, 2015 | Junebug Weddings

Earthy-Pastel-Wedding-at-Skyloft-Resort-Daring-Wanderer-46

Kayleigh and Siam are a nature-loving couple, through and through — just take a look at their breathtaking Lake Minnewanka engagement session for proof — so it’s no surprise that the adventurous pair chose a ski resort for their wedding venue. With pastel elements sprinkled throughout the earthy décor, Kayleigh and Siam tied the knot at Skyloft Ski Resort. It may have rained throughout their ceremony, but a little bit of unexpected weather couldn’t deter this romantic celebration. Daring Wanderer Photography took the drizzly skies as an opportunity to capture the most beautifully intimate portraits of the newlyweds indoors.

The Couple:

Kayleigh and Siam

The Wedding:

Skyloft Ski Resort, Uxbridge, Ontario

Standing up at our altar, getting married to my favorite person, was the best moment of the day. I was on the verge of laughing and crying the entire time. I remember looking one way out at the rain and mist in the hills, and than inside to the warmth and love of our family and friends. I felt like I was in a dream land.

Our décor was inspired by and reflected the nature that we love, our adventurous spirits, and the many talents of our family and friends. Even though it wasn’t part of the plan, the rain created a beautiful warm atmosphere that was steeped in the love and happiness of our guests.

Our first dance was also amazing. We had taken a few dance lessons because it was something we always had wanted to do. But with my dress, we were barely able to do any of the choreography. We danced anyway and sang to each other like we were the only people there. Towards the end of our song our wedding party joined in with us, and pretty soon all of our guests were dancing and singing along with us.
