Timeless and Romantic Coworth Park Wedding

August 3, 2015 | Junebug Weddings

Timeless-Romantic-Coworth-Park-Wedding-Claire-Penn-Photography (24 of 36)

A meadow ceremony is just about the most romantic thing we can imagine, and these exceptionally lovely images from Claire Penn Photography perfectly capture the spirit of Sally and Scot’s sweet wedding in Coworth Park. The intimate English countryside wedding included thoughtfully handcrafted DIY elements to add a few personal touches to the already stunning venue.

The Couple:

Sally and Scot

The Wedding:

Coworth Park, Ascot, England

The Inspiration:

Scot and I are a pretty laid back, fun-loving couple, so we did our best to make our wedding reflect this side of us. Scot and I are very lucky in life and even though we did not want anything too over-the top, it was a big priority for us to give our close family the most memorable weekend that many of them would never be able experience. The venue was a very easy choice for us, we fell instantly in love with every single inch of the hotel, the timeless romance of the English countryside and the meadow which provided breathtaking backdrop for our ceremony. Our wedding was inspired completely by Coworth Park, the romance, the elegance, the flowers and the relaxed nature of the weekend.

My dress was a more complicated decision as I did not know what I wanted but needed it to fit all of the above in particular being elegant but softly romantic to fit our meadow ceremony. I found the perfect dress which, in my eyes, showed everything I wanted and fit beautifully with the inspiration for our day.

The Moments:

Hard to pick just one moment but I simply could not write everything here therefore I will pick another simple moment that meant everything to me.. In Scot’s speech he told our guests how during dinner the night before we were sat together on looking our family all enjoying the evening, we said to each other this is exactly what we wanted, ‘we did it’ and I must admit we even high five’d knowing that our wedding day the next day would be perfect. When our family looked back at us both with love and admiration and I looked up at Scot with the same feeling. this was the most perfect moment for me.

The Couple Recommends:

Claire Penn our beautiful photographer… when the wedding blues have taken full effect after your wedding what have you got left? A wedding dress sadly hidden in the wardrobe, accessories that may be brought out and worn on special occasions and memories. Sadly memories fade which is why in our thoughts a photographer is THE single most important element of your wedding day!

Claire Penn has a beautiful sense of style, all of her photographs tell a story in an elegant but relaxed and quirky way. She was much more than just our photographer, she became part of the family! Without being to obtrusive during our relaxed weekend she captured so many great shots that have made our memories so much more special, shots that without her amazing talent we would never have got to see. From the moment we first chatted and still to this day I feel like we are the only couple on earth Claire is looking after. She really does make the whole experience just perfect!

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.
