Bohemian Costa Rica Elopement

May 25, 2015 | Junebug Weddings

Bohemian-Costa-Rica-Engagement-Costa-Vida-Photography (8 of 27)

We feel so lucky to be able to share Janet and Mike’s intimate elopement celebrating their 15 years spent together! The Costa Rica elopement took place on Tamarindo Beach where Four Winds Weddings organized a truly special ceremony for the couple and their precious daughters. Costa Vida Photography joined the family to captured such a beautiful day spent in the sand and sun.

The Couple:

Janet and Mike

The Wedding:

Tamarindo Beach, Playa Tamarindo, Costa Rica

The Inspiration:

It was a true elopement — we wanted simple but with some magic thrown in. I love everything boho, so I needed something along that aesthetic but something more sexy for a dress. We incorporated pieces from our home: a rug from our youngest daughter’s room and a vintage tapestry and kantha that we acquired over the years. I wore pieces of jewelry that Mike had gotten me throughout our 15 years together and it really made me think of the journey that we have been on together.

The Moments:

Well, the whole entire day was just magic from beginning to end. We fell in love with Costa Rica pretty hard and were enjoying a pretty awesome trip leading up to the wedding.

The Couple Recommends:

Everyone was absolutely perfect. From the very first contact Kirsten and Jon were on point and got what I was looking for. They had such great energy and nailed it on every level. My photos blow my mind. Im still obsessing over them. They are professional, laid back and just “got it” — two talented people. Oh and Kirsten totally picked the right officiant for us. He had such a cool vibe! Tricia from Maravilla weddings is so sweet and talented. I could not have even envisioned a better day.

1950s Wedding at the Inn at Whitewell

May 25, 2015 | Junebug Weddings

1950s-Wedding-Inn-Whitehall-Lawson-Photography (21 of 29)

Married on the most romantic day of the year, Charlotte and Andrew’s Valentine’s Day wedding was a vintage-inspired fête full of red accents, pearls, and lace details. The 1950s wedding, complete the with most adorable flared and collared bridesmaids dresses in bold red, took place at the Inn at Whitewell nestled in the countryside of Lancashire. Lawson Photography so beautifully captured the sweet candid moments shared between Charlotte and Andrew on their wedding day, making art from memories the couple will cherish forever.

The Couple:

Charlotte and Andrew

The Wedding:

Inn at Whitewell, Lancashire, England

The Inspiration:

We wanted our wedding to reflect us as individuals. Every single detail was directly influenced by our personalities and interests. We live in a small cottage filled with antique furniture and kitsch fifties items and have such a love for all things 1950’s. We chose Valentines day as we are both soppy romantics at heart and figured you simply cannot do Valentines without using lots of red, lots of love and lots of roses!

All of the invitations and stationary were inspired by retro playbills and was filled with kitsch fifties cartoons. I also wanted to draw out the elegance of the 1950’s, the lace, pearls and glamour. Our style was a juxtaposition, in the day I wore a beautiful lace dress with intricate embroidery and delicate beading and in the evening I donned my full poodle skirt and layered red undercoat. The bridesmaids all wore 1950’s inspired dresses, complete with fifties collars and full skirts. I hired an incredible vintage makeup artist in Kittywink vintage who styled the girls in victory rolls ect. We had a live band playing all the 50’s classics and the dance floor was packed as they really made the atmosphere electric. I also hired a silhouette artist to cut the guests profiles, he was fantastic and really added to the day and the theme. The day was beautiful due to the people who were there, filling the space with their warm, infectious personalities. It really made our day incredible.

The Moments:

My favourite moment has to be turning the corner and seeing the man of my dreams standing at the other end of the aisle. He was radiating happiness and seeing his face settled all of my nerves. This was what we were here for, I wish I could bottle that feeling and sell it, as I would certainly be a millionaire.

The Couple Recommends:

Also Angie at Puure bride really made me feel comfortable when choosing my dress, she went above and beyond and even drove an hour and a half to see me on my special day.
