Vintage Chicago Wedding at Salvage One

August 2, 2015 | Junebug Weddings

Vintage-Chicago-Wedding-at-Salvage-One (31 of 31)

Kathryn and Marcus designed their wedding with minimal decor, which allowed their gorgeous venue to speak for itself. A perfect combination of rustic and industrial attributes, Salvage One‘s unique atmosphere was an amazing venue choice for this sweet, elegant wedding. Light florals and lavender bridesmaid gowns added a soft touch of color to the big day. Talented photographer Oriana Koren expertly captured Kathryn and Marcus’ special moments.

The Couple:

Kathryn and Marcus

The Wedding:

Salvage One, Chicago, Illinois

The Inspiration:

We went for a vintage theme to match the venue. We kept the flowers and additional decor to a minimum because the venue did the work for us. For the bride’s dress, she wanted something classic and elegant that matched the feel of the venue. For the bridesmaids dresses, she wanted something elegant and simple adding unique necklaces to make a statement.

The Moments:

The speeches. We loved hearing what our family and friends had to say about our relationship and their blessings for our future. The best man, Jeremy (Marcus‘ brother) surprised us all. Typically a man of few words, he impressed us with his thoughtfulness and humor.

The Couple Recommends:

Monica from Skinny Piggy who put together the candy bar with us was amazing. It was so easy from start to finish. She can get any candy or sweet that you desire. Her team sets it up, takes it down, and provides the jars.

Chic and Unique Wedding at Hotel Excelsior Dubrovnik

August 2, 2015 | Junebug Weddings

Chic-and-Unique-Wedding-at-Hotel-Excelsior-Dubrovnik (20 of 24)

Jelena and Mirko wished for an untraditional Croatian wedding. They loved the idea of an intimate, outdoor ceremony by the sea, and what better place is there than the beautiful Hotel Excelsior in Dubrovnik, Croatia? The aged stone walls and walkways and the glistening water created a romantic atmosphere perfect for this gorgeous couple. We absolutely love the unique angles One Day Studio used to capture the excited, newly married couple.

The Couple:

Jelena and Mirko

The Wedding:

Hotel Excelsior, Dubrovnik, Croatia

The Inspiration:

Wedding! The topic of my dreams, and probably every other girl in the world. But we all dream differently about our weddings, with our unique style and sensibility. The sun, beach, sea, everyone happy and relaxed, smiling, without stress, fear, or prejudice. Our inspiration was very clear and simple, we wanted to fully enjoy it because that was our day and we did not wanted to have any regrets. We considered that is possible only if we avoid all our traditional “obligations” and therefore the pressure. From the very beginning, we wanted to say “I do” under the open sky, near to the sea, with the sun and the main decoration being the beauty of the nature itself. Dubrovnik is a beautiful, romantic city in former Yugoslavia which had all what we wanted.

The Moments:

It’s almost impossible to single out one special moment on the special day. We really achieved all our dreams and fantasies. That day was filled with feelings of happiness and satisfaction for each other. With such a small and intimate wedding, bringing in an unknown person as a photographer could have been scary, but One Day Studio works with you so naturally and spontaneously that they make you become so spontaneous and relaxed in your “modeling” adventure — you want that moment to last forever.

The Couple Recommends:

One Day Studio is a team of extreme professionals who turned our surreal moments into eternity and recorded the moments of beauty that no one can deny. We are eagerly waiting for the next occasion when we will be delighted and honored to please One Day Studio to be part of it and collaborate with us. People that are easy to love. We are very grateful to them.

Dreamy Colombian Wedding

August 1, 2015 | Junebug Weddings

Dreamy-Colombian-Wedding (5 of 21)

Gorgeous views, dreamy bridal fashion, and candid shots are why Yeison and Alejandra’s wedding in Columbia is a must-see. After a classic ceremony at Iglesia El Lugar de Su Presencia, the amazing Captainfer Photography stole the couple away to shoot incredibly romantic moments of the new husband and wife. The bride wore loose wild flowers in her hair and fashioned a top-fitted, timeless gown. We love how you can feel the excitement from the big day in these enchanting photos!

The Couple:

Yeison and Alejandra

The Wedding:

Iglesia El Lugar de Su Presencia, Bogotá, Colombia

The Inspiration:

I had a pastry shop which decoration was vintage, so we decided to use some of its decorative elements in our wedding. We also liked the rustic wave that we have seen at wedding blogs, and we decided to include it at our wedding decor theme because it matched with the venue.

The Moments:

Our favorite moment was the ceremony because we have prayed for God´s presence to be there, and after the ceremony many people told us they felt something really special that they could not explain. It was perfect and was “magic”. We are sure God´s presence really was there. We also love that moment because without being planned, our votes had things in common and were connected with our pastor words.

The Couple Recommends:

Juan Fernandez of Captainfer Photography and Sara Briceño of Upper Films did excellent work — more than we expected!

Photography – Captainfer Photography
Ceremony Venue – Iglesia El Lugar de Su Presencia
Reception Venue – Private Residence
