Intimate Houston Museum of Natural Science Wedding

October 14, 2015 | Junebug Weddings

Intimate-Houston-Museum-of-Natural-Science-Wedding-Ama-Photography-and-Cinema-083

Just when we thought we’d seen everything, Elizabeth and Aaron’s Houston Museum of Natural Science wedding made our hearts all a-flutter! The couple said “I do” in an intimate ceremony surrounded by their closest loved ones and hundreds of the world’s most beautiful butterflies in the Cockrell Butterfly Center. If that’s not romance, we don’t know what is! Ama Photography and Cinema captured dreamy portraits of the newlyweds among the lush nature of the museum, where Elizabeth and Aaron danced and twirled in the greenery and golden light.

The Couple:

Elizabeth and Aaron

The Wedding:

Houston Museum of Natural Science, Houston, Texas

The Inspiration:

We wanted a small, fabulous wedding with a cool venue and great food. We wanted to remember having conversations with our closets family members and enjoy a killer dinner with them all. We ended up choosing to get married at the Houston Museum of Natural Science Butterfly Exhibit; we are both kind of animal/science nerds and have grown up going to this museum so it had a true sentimental touch to it. My dress was flowy and fun and made me feel erethereal! Aaron looked so sharp in his 3-piece suit. It was the perfect amount of “fancy” for us! For dinner, we chose Brennans of Houston, a restaurant that my fabulous Grandma Harkey introduced to me. Their Bananas Foster is so amazing we didn’t even need a wedding cake!

Goddess-Inspired Bridal Shoot in Cleo & Clementine

October 14, 2015 | Junebug Weddings

AshleyRaePhotography-12

No one does ethereal bridal style quite like Cleo & Clementine, so it only makes sense that brides with goddess vibes would find inspiration in this gorgeous shoot by Ashley Rae Photography. With textured floral design by Hoot and Holler, a candlelit scene filled with pieces from Fancy Lou Designs, and elegant jewelry by Alixandra Collections, every inch of this styled shoot is divine!

Here’s what photographer Ashley Rae had to say about the inspiration behind the shoot:

The inspiration from the shoot was inspired by a romantic modern goddess. She was dressed in a one of a kind silk blush gauze hand dyed gown with a plunging neckline, surrounded by soft candle light, scattered metalina roses, macaroons, and ivy vines.

We wanted to showcase an ethereal ambiance that was traditional and modern in style. So, shooting at Cleo and Clementine’s venue was the perfect setting that allowed us to combine all elements together.

The simple vine draped inspired florals of metalina roses, peonies, white scabiosa, dahlia, and ivy wall wines, added a gorgeous touch in the images. By scattering the metalina roses around the brides with candlelight really intensify the beautiful rural scenery.

For this delicate and romantic bride, her makeup was glossy and simple with a fuchsia lip. For the hair, a messy braid up-do was made to bring out the elegance and timeless of style.

Elegant Rustic Wedding at Strawberry Creek Ranch

October 14, 2015 | Junebug Weddings

Elegant-Rustic-Wedding-at-Strawberry-Creek-Ranch-Danny-K-Photography-0030

Cricket and Josh’s rustic Colorado wedding was impossibly elegant thanks to a classic black, white, and gold color palette designed by Pick Me Weddings, the bride’s lace Maggie Sottero gown, and a dreamy ivory bouquet by Southern Charm Wedding and Events. The outdoor ceremony at Strawberry Creek Ranch took place with a breathtaking mountain view in the backdrop, and the couple danced the night away with their guests under the stars on a wooden deck outside of the venue’s barn. Danny K Photography captured the epic views and the tender moments that made Cricket and Josh’s wedding unforgettable.

The Couple:

Cricket and Josh

The Wedding:

Strawberry Creek Ranch, Granby, Colorado

The Inspiration:

I wanted something simple yet elegant. We used black, white, and gold along with some light pink and mint green for our decor. I wanted my wedding dress to be the same. It was a lace long sleeve dress. Josh wore a simple black tux. We did not have bridesmaids or groomsmen and made the ceremony and rehearsal playlists ourselves.

The Moments:

Our favorite moment was watching our weimaraner, Liam, walk down the aisle and steal the show during the wedding. He rolled in the grass and barked a couple times while we said our vows. Having him there meant so much to both of us since he is such a big part of our lives.

The Couple Recommends:

Each of our vendors did a fantastic job making our day perfect. Rami was an awesome wedding coordinator. Danny’s pictures were breathtaking. Our florist did a perfect job making our vision a reality with black and white anemones and pink peonies. The food was some of the best we have ever had and the venue could not have been more beautiful.
