Low-Key Guatemala Wedding at Earth Lodge

May 23, 2015 | Junebug Weddings

Breathtaking views, ancient ruins, and colorful wild flowers all came together to create Caitlin and Jason’s natural Guatemala wedding. The Earth Lodge offered a romantic getaway high above sea level, which was the perfect place for Caitlin and Jason to say “I do.” After a sweet, intimate ceremony, the couple spent memorable moments among ancient ruins, where amazing photographer Daniel Lopez Perez captured incredible photos!

The Couple:

Caitlin and Jason

The Wedding:

Earth Lodge, Antigua, Guatemala

The Inspiration:

We chose to have our wedding at Earth Lodge because of the beautiful views, treehouse accommodations and friendly staff. Caitlin hates planning things so we kept things simple. We used flowers from the local market to make an altar and let the beautiful surroundings speak for themselves.

The Moments:

I don’t think we could pick one moment. Our favorite part was spending 3 days with our family and friends at one of our favorite places in the world. We loved being able to relax and get to spend time with everyone, rather than rush through a chaotic wedding.

The Couple Recommends:

Everyone was amazing! Our photographers, Daniel Lopez Perez and Melissa Ballarin were amazing as well, as the pictures clearly show. They showed up early and stayed late to make sure they captured all of the great moments of the wedding night. They worked very hard to accommodate us and made the long trip back to Antigua so that we could do a private session in the ruins of La Recoleccion. Everyone at Earth Lodge helped out to make it a wonderful weekend, and the owners Briana and Drew made our everyone’s stay very special. Maf and Jueves provided perfect musical accompaniment, and even came back for an extra night! Thanks most of all to all of our family and friends for making the trip, we couldn’t have done it without you!

Mountain Inspired Wedding at Emerald Lake Lodge

The rustic Emerald Lake Lodge and its surrounding natural scenery were the gorgeous focus points for Emily and David’s wedding inspiration. The wood and stone textured walls of the cabin presented a cozy atmosphere for Emily and David to exchange vows! Taking advantage of the astonishing scenery and all it has to offer, Orange Girl Photography stole the couple away to shoot some amazing, joy-filled shots in the snow! We can’t get enough of these sweet, fun moments!

The Couple:

Emily and David

The Wedding:

Emerald Lake Lodge, Alberta, Canada

The Inspiration:

The mountains were our theme. I wanted to feel surrounded. Since it was winter, we also relied on a lot of whites and greens- cotton, spruce, cedar, pussy willows. It was a very simple clean look- I wanted Emerald Lake Lodge and the mountains to be the feature.

The Moments:

My favourite moment was after the ceremony taking pictures with David. It wasn’t very cold outside, so it was actually a lot of fun. I always prefer to be doing things with David. Getting ready in the morning was not much fun because I wasn’t with David. The ceremony was lovely, but very nerve-wracking. It wasn’t until we were outside in our boots together that I realized how happy I was. The nervousness had passed and I knew that the rest of the day was just going to be an amazing celebration.

The Couple Recommends:

We loved working with Kirstie Tweed (photographer). She was incredible — and so very kind. I was even emailing her before the wedding panicked over little details, and she would take the time to write back with thoughtful and reassuring messages. I would highly recommend her and Kevin to anyone.
