Adventurous Moroccan Elopement in the Atlas Mountains

May 13, 2015 | Junebug Weddings

Adventurous-Moroccan-Elopement-Atlas-Mountains-Jennifer-Moher (16 of 38)

We love a good destination elopement, especially in one of our favorite locations! Kymberlie and Geoff love seeing the world as much as they love each other, so the pair hired Jennifer Moher and Hugh Whitaker to capture their adventure and the four of them headed off to the Atlas Mountains for a Moroccan elopement. The resulting images — which are positively stunning in every sense of the word — are giving us a terrible case of wunderlust!

The Couple:

Kymberlie and Geoff

The Wedding:

Atlas Mountains, Morocco

The Inspiration:

We love travelling together and our priority was travelling somewhere incredible, and having Jennifer and Hugh photograph us. We spent the majority of our budget on that, and tried to save as much as we could everywhere else. I knew no matter what that Jennifer and Hugh would take amazing photos, even if we couldn’t spend a lot of money on our decor or outfits. I spent $500 on my dress, which I bought because it fit me off the rack, and Geoff spent the same on his suit.

The Moments:

It would be impossible to pick a favourite moment. Our wedding day was more amazing than I could even describe. We adventured around a foreign country, spent the day laughing and crying together, and read vows we had written for each other on top of a mountain. The whole thing is just unbelievable. Geoff and I sit looking at these photos and think, “did this really happen to us”? We are just so thankful we can look back at this day and know it was more than we ever could have imagined.

The Couple Recommends:

Hugh and Jennifer did so much more than just photograph our wedding. I honestly don’t even have words to thank them. I feel like when you spend almost every waking hour of four days with two people you really get to know them. Hugh and Jen lift each other up, and everyone around them. Our day wouldn’t have been the same without their excitement, enthusiasm and thirst for adventure. I would have hired them for their personalities alone, so the fact that they are insanely talented is honestly just a bonus.

Vintage Boudoir Session Inspired by Leaves and Light

May 13, 2015 | Junebug Weddings

9Q4B2999

Beauty can be found everywhere, even in a decaying farmhouse in Michigan. Hello Lovely Boudoir by Kathy Davies was inspired by unkempt vines, golden light, and the mystery of an old, abandoned location when designing and capturing this stunning vintage boudoir session. The antique aesthetic of the Anthropologie lingerie and romantic hair and makeup styling of Kyle Ann Designs made for a naturally alluring scene.

Glamorous and Fun Bali Beach Wedding

May 13, 2015 | Junebug Weddings

Glamorous-Fun-Bali-Beach-Wedding-Diktat-Photography (24 of 33)

Fuchsia, burgundy, and yellow were the perfect pops of color in Beatrice and Robert’s glamorous and fun Bali beach wedding. The bright hues really stood out against the crisp white linens of Cocoon Beach Club where the couple said “I do.” Joined by family from across the world, Beatrice and Robert envisioned a day that was comfortable and enjoyable for all with colorful games and prizes. Diktat Photography masterfully captured the effervescent celebration from perfectly planned details to romantic beach portraits after the rain.

The Couple:

Beatrice and Robert

The Wedding:

Cocoon Beach Club, Seminyak, Bali

The Inspiration:

Before we even started to think about how it all looked, the most important thing for us were whether our guests were going to enjoy it. We knew our wedding was going to be difficult, we’re from Australia but live in Japan. Rob’s family lives in the UK, and my family lives in Australia. We wanted to pick a place that was going to be a holiday for most people and enjoyable for everyone involved (including us!!). I always imagined that we would have an intimate, outdoor wedding (but it actually ended up raining through our wedding!), so everything we picked was with this in mind. We wanted the overall feeling to be cosy, romantic (but not sickeningly so), glamorous, fun and relaxed…but on a budget (we all know there’s one!).

To try and keep it fun, we incorporated games with some prizes, our happy colored sunglasses wedding favours, a Fujifilm Instax camera with some cute paper props, mad lib advice for us from everyone. Instead of canapes we had lots of ice creams and icy cocktails for everyone to combat the humid hot Bali heat. I love sweets and ice cream so dessert is before dinner is best!

For our wedding decor, I sent the Venue co-ordinator Jess photos of what I wanted, and asked her to personalise it to my theme of pink, yellow, silver, grey and gold. I love bright beautiful flowers, and red is very lucky in chinese culture so I asked her to include lots of red in our wedding flowers. The fairy lights and lanterns also created a great atmosphere. One of my favourite decor items was the LOVE lights, It just lit up the area so well, and I felt it was fun!

The Moments:

There are just too many to pick from! The whole wedding was so much fun for us. My personal favorite moment was my first dance with my dad in front of everyone, it was rather impromptu and my dad is a quiet, shy man who never says much in a family of 4 loud females (and 2 quiet men) so it’s a lot for him to be standing in front of everyone. During the dance he busted out dance moves that had everyone surprised (including me!). People asked how long we had rehearsed it because he was so good!

But a favourite moment that we both love is when we all went down to the beach and let off lanterns to make a wish for us. It was really fun to light up the lanterns at the end of the night. Everyone joined in and helped each other light them up so they could get going. There was lots of laughter and my dress even caught on fire for 2 seconds! Seeing the little lights float off in the night with everyone really gave both of us a mushy feeling.

The Couple Recommends:

We got our wedding rings made in Japan at Saiho Jewelry, and we love them! They were so patient and sweet. They listened to what we wanted and worked with our budget and handmade our beautiful rings.

Diktat was also really great to work with. He and his team just blended into the background and were always at hand to capture all our moments.
