Relaxed Farm Wedding in Wanaka

September 21, 2015 | Junebug Weddings

Relaxed-Farm-Wedding-in-Wanaka-Andy-Brown-Photography (19 of 33)

We love how New Zealand weddings take epic ceremony backdrops to the next level, and Joce and Tim’s relaxed farm wedding in Wanaka is no exception. The couple said “I do” in an intimate and organic outdoor ceremony before heading up to the grassy mountaintops for a picnic in the clouds. Andy Brown Photography captured the entire extraordinary affair from the rustic details at the Criffel Station Woolshed reception to the exceptional views as the newlyweds spent their first moments together looking over the great beyond.

The Couple:

Joce and Tim

The Wedding:

Criffel Station Woolshed, Wanaka, New Zealand

The Inspiration:

Inspiration was our love of the outdoors and our laid-back lifestyle. The theme could be called “relaxed rustic” — we wanted to create an atmosphere that was beautiful but relaxed, where the scenery could speak for itself and our guests have a wonderful day.

The Moments:

Our favourite moment was when the helicopter turned off it’s engine on top of the mountain, and we were surrounded by silence and the most beautiful view in the world. It gave us a chance to collect our thoughts on the ceremony and day, and to have a moment with just the two of us.

The Couple Recommends:

Andy Brown [Photography] was just amazing. He was so much fun to have around on the wedding day, and the photos he captured are simply stunning. The majority of them are candid shots and the feeling of the day was captured perfectly. It is a beautiful collection to look back through and smile at.

Venue – Criffel Station Woolshed
Floral Design – Studio 24
Invitations – One Big Day
Rings – Debra Fallowfield

Gorgeous Polish Wedding and Post-Wedding Shoot

September 20, 2015 | Junebug Weddings

Gorgeous-Polish-Wedding-and-Post-Wedding-Shoot (17 of 29)

Kasia and Jacek’s gorgeous ceremony at St. Marcin’s Church in Poland was filled with traditional antique details and extravagant architecture. The bride wore a beautiful flowing gown that she designed herself! In the days following this unbelievable Polish wedding, DreamEyeStudio stole the couple way for a breathtaking post-wedding session. The photos will leave you speechless!

The Couple:

Kasia and Jacek

The Wedding:

St. Marcin’s Church, Tarce, Poland

The Inspiration:

There wasn’t any particular decor theme for the wedding. We managed to find a perfect church and a nearby manor house whose interiors were ornate themselves so there was no need for too many extra decorations. The flowers we chose were the ones you could easily find in many back gardens that time of summer.
Our clothes were meant to emphasize the celebratory atmosphere of the day, yet letting us feel like ourselves at the same time. The dress had been sewed by a neighbour seamstress according to my drawing. Jacek wore his old suit which he knew was comfortable.

The Moments:

Of course the whole day was beautiful and it was filled with many special moments like the first dance or the song that we performed for our parents (I sang and Jacek played the guitar). But, surprisingly, we really enjoyed the preparations before the whole event. We got to our hotel room about two hours before the ceremony and still had to arrange all wedding name cards, have a shower, dress up and generally “get ready”. I did my make up in ten minutes and Jacek put his suit on just before the blessing from our parents. The funny thing was that we had great fun this whole time and it seemed we were the least stressed of all.

The Couple Recommends:

We were pleased to work with our photographers Gosia and Grzegorz from Dream Eye Studio. Our outdoor wedding session in the mountains was a great adventure. It was really important for us to go to the Tatry Mountains as we’ve got many beautiful memories from that place. Gosia and Grzegorz helped us to immortalise those moments. We hope to work with them many times in the future! The Quest Music Band was also brilliant! They were true professionals – skilled musicians with amazing voices and really nice people at the same time.

Ceremony Venue – St. Marcin’s Church
Reception Venue – Palac Tarce

September 20, 2015 | Junebug Weddings

Classic-California-Wedding-at-the-Presidio-Officers-Club (13 of 22)

Knowing they wanted to invite friends and family from all over The States and the UK, Thomas and Victoria decided their was no better place to have their wedding than in the city where they first met, San Fransico, California. Presidio Officers’ Club in Presidio Park created the perfect cozy atmosphere for the two to tie the knot! We love the gold touches and simple details that led to this beautifully elegant wedding! Talented photographer Collin Hughes captured the sweetest moments on the big day!

The Couple:

Thomas and Victoria

The Wedding:

Presidio Officers’ Club, San Fransico, California

The Inspiration:

We knew we wanted to get married in the Presidio in San Francisco. We live close by and love being able to walk, hike and bike all through the park. It is such a unique and special part of the city with amazing views of the golden gate bridge and bay. It’s the perfect place to have a classic modern wedding while incorporating history and nature. We had friends and family coming from all over the states and the UK so we were excited not just to have them in the city where we met but to experience all the Presidio has to offer.

The Moments:

There are so many things that make me smile when I reflect back on the day. Nothing makes the heart patter more than when the church doors opened and I say my future husband standing there surrounded by all of our friends and family. But if I had to choose it was when Thomas gave a speech during dinner. He truly expressed the gratitude we have for our friends and family and the inspiration and life lessons they have given us to be have a long and happy marriage.

The Couple Recommends:

Amanda from Mandolin Floral is absolutely amazing. I had never seen more beautiful peonies and the flower’s in the church and the flower beam above the main bar were stunning. She is so talented! Lauren, our wedding coordinator went above and beyond to make sure Thomas and I were as relaxed as possible and were able to enjoy the entire day.
