Caribbean Destination Wedding at Manchebo Beach Resort

August 25, 2015 | Junebug Weddings

Destination-Beach-Wedding-Manchebo-Resort-M2-Photography (6 of 30)

The natural beauty of Aruba drew Sophie and Andrew across the ocean for their destination wedding. Manchebo Beach Resort provided a stunning seaside backdrop for the vibrant and intimate ceremony. To ensure that they documented every bit of Aruba’s breathtaking landscape, the newlyweds enlisted their wedding photographers M2 Photography to capture a post-wedding session the following day. Sophie’s windswept hair and the secluded location made for positively romantic images that the couple will cherish forever!

The Couple:

Sophie and Andrew

The Wedding:

Manchebo Beach Resort, Aruba

The Inspiration:

We are both extremely outdoorsy and beachy people. Therefore, a destination wedding sounded truly perfect for us. It allowed us to marry on a beautiful beach in Aruba while enjoying quality time with our closest friends and family. We had a very simple decor as we used the natural backdrop of the beach as our main focal point. I also picked a vibrant coral color as the main color scheme as it stood out against the ocean blue.

Gemstone Inspired Wedding at Nasher Sculpture Garden

August 24, 2015 | Junebug Weddings

Gemstone-Inspired-Wedding-Nasher-Sculpture-Garden-Jojo-Pangilinan-Photographer (7 of 31)

Weddings with juxtaposing styles make our heart skip a beat, so it’s no wonder we’re head over heels for Tiffany and Alexandre’s gemstone inspired wedding. By combining modern and natural elements, the couple and their wedding planners Valerie and Valerie Weddings achieved a look unlike anything we’ve seen before! Tiffany blue and amethyst were the perfect accent colors for the romantic affair at Nasher Sculpture Garden, and we can’t get enough of the honeycomb ceremony backdrop! Jojo Pangilinan Photographers captured every unique detail, documenting each special facet of Tiffany and Alexandre’s wedding.

The Couple:

Tiffany and Alexandre

The Wedding:

Nasher Sculpture Garden, Dallas, Texas

The Inspiration:

Our wedding inspiration was mixing modern elements with natural ones. We had our wedding and reception at venues that were a combination of natural elements in the middle of the city. I used to collect gemstones and love how unique each individual crystal is. My dress had crystals as well sewn throughout the dress so it fit nicely with the theme. My name is Tiffany so I incorporated Tiffany blue as my bridesmaids colors.

The Moments:

The whole day was amazing! It was so nice to see so many people come together from around the world just for us. But the one moment that stands out to me would be our last dance. We got our own private moment on the dance floor beneath the stars just dancing and singing to each other. It was so nice since the stress of the whole day was behind us and everything turned out so well. We couldn’t have done it without all of our amazing vendors.

The Couple Recommends:

All of our vendors were great, the few that stood out were Jojo Pangilinan, Splendor Films, and Mike Mahnich. I think the photos speak for themselves in terms of Jojo‘s skill and passion. He captured everything beautifully.
Mike Mahnich did a great job in terms of catering music to our interests and getting the crowd on the dance floor.
Splendor Films did a great job on our wedding trailer and sneak peak. Jeffrey and Amanda managed to capture our day and the emotion so well. It brought tears to everyone’s eyes and the quality was just outstanding.
I recommend them all.

Brazilian Engagement Session in the Forest

August 24, 2015 | Junebug Weddings

Brazilian-Engagement-Session-in-the-Forest-Tati-Pinho (7 of 19)

Melina and Nicholas’ Brazilian engagement session was playful, romantic, and chic. Photographer Tati Pinho captured the sweet couple skipping through tall fields of golden grass and embracing in the depth of the forest. We love that Melina’s outfit choices were each reminiscent of a bridal look, starting with a delicate white tank top and ending in an elegant ballgown with sophisticated lace sleeves.
