Newly engaged couple Kira and Nejc and their talented photographers from Happy Moments Wedding Photography set out on a journey to Mangart Saddle, which is in the Julian Alps in northwestern Slovenia, to capture some of the coolest engagement photos ever! The couple explored the rough terrain all while overlooking the beautiful valley and warm sunset. We absolutely love how this session is the perfect mix of a fun adventure and a breathtaking romance.
With a sunny yellow and gold color palette, Caitlin and Drew’s sweet wedding at Hyatt Regency Indian Wells in California brightened everyone’s day. We love how the flower girl swapped out the traditional basket of rose petals for a unique, massive balloon. The couple made sure to incorporate personal details into their wedding to create a day that was uniquely them. Ryan Horban Photography captured the incredible moments spent at this simply stunning California wedding!
As a wedding and event planner, I had thought a lot about this! I wanted it to be charming, whimsical, and unique and use colors that not a lot of people use (yellow and gold) – to me they are such happy, sunny colors. We wanted personal details that made people smile and think of us. I have a lot of pen pals and Drew and I write letters to each other when he is deployed (he is a USMC officer) so we had people write us advice on postcards and they are getting mailed to us throughout the year. The table names were bars and pubs from all over the country that we love and we put postcards from those cities at the tables too in case people hadn’t had a chance to write us at cocktail hour. I also wanted people to feel casual and comfortable as it could have been really hot in the desert – luckily it was only 85 degrees! Each bridesmaid got to pick out her own white & gold dress. I wanted it to feel like a very special, backyard California party!
The Moments:
Our favorite moment was saying our vows; we didn’t know what the other would say. They made everyone laugh and cry. Drew also liked his groom’s cake — also a surprise. He is a big Miami Dolphins Fan. One thing we were relieved about was how well behaved our pitbull Bo was. We strapped a Go Pro to his back when he walked down the aisle so we could see his unique point of view! The last dance of the night was Colder Weather which is one of our favorite songs. All our friends and family circled around us, and we all sang it at the top of our lungs together. It was magical just like the entire day.
The Couple Recommends:
Lollipop Workshop on Etsy made the cake topper and were so nice — I had originally sent them a photo of the winter USMC uniform, not the summer uniform so the pants were the wrong color. They fixed the cake topper with in a week! It was my favorite keepsake from the wedding.
Incorporating your favorite activities into your big day is one of our favorite wedding design methods, so it’s no wonder we love Kelli and Mike’s vintage rustic Toronto wedding. The couple loves to hunt for antiques together in their spare time, and their wedding decor beautifully reflected their special finds. Wedding designer Love by Lynzie helped create a day that included vintage treasures while looking fabulously rustic inside of the Steam Whistle Brewery where Kelli and Mike said “I do.”
Mike and I love spending our Saturdays hunting at auctions for incredible antiques. We wanted to showcase some of these pieces on our day. I would describe our decor theme as rustic vintage!
The Moments:
There are so many its hard for me to choose. I would have to say watching everyone enjoying all the hard work and planning that went into the day.
The Couple Recommends:
I can’t say enough about Love by Lynzie wedding planning and Melanie Leutz Photography. They were amazing!!!! Melanie and her team did an amazing job capturing our story through her photos. Lynzie and her staff executed our day to perfection. Mike and I didn’t have to worry about any details as we knew that she had everything under her expert control. Having both of these ladies in charge of such important aspects of our day put our minds at ease.
