Greece provides some of the most breathtaking views in all of the world, so it’s no wonder Natalie and Tim’s Santorini engagement is positively captivating. Natalie’s bold orange maxi-dress lent itself beautifully to Les Anagnou Photographers‘ artistic approach to capturing the engagement session, and we love how the shade complements the blue of the Mediterranean that Santorini is known for. Every frame is a masterpiece that reminds the couple of their romantic time spent in Greece and all of the unique facts of their love.
With a ceremony held in the front yard and the reception held in the back, Jaira and Paul’s celebration at home was the elegant backyard wedding we’ve been dreaming of. The bride donned a sequin gown with pearl-embellished shoulders as she said “I do” to her husband in front of a sign reading “True Love is Awesome.” Photographer Briars Atlas beautifully captured each personal detail and every candid moment that made the backyard wedding so special.
The Couple:
Jaira and Paul
The Wedding:
Private Residence, Melbourne, Victoria
The Inspiration:
The inspiration was a relaxed white garden party – it was a mix of everything and I contrasted it with my rose coloured wedding dress which was more glamorous.
The Moments:
It was during our ceremony, leading up to our first kiss as husband and wife. In the background we had Xavier Rudd’s Follow the Sun playing – a song we both love for its free spirited lyrics and nature inspired sound. As soon as Lisa announced the kiss, the sun came out and so did the golden light on us while the lyrics ‘follow the sun’ synced with the moment. Paul and I looked at each other and both knew, without words – that it was such a special moment.
The Couple Recommends:
Definitely the Spanish Home Catering company! They made it all very easy to deal with and with no fuss – they know how to handle parties. Their years of experience really came through. Our dealings with them pre-wedding, during wedding and post wedding were all handled very professionally and with such warmth and friendliness. Everyone commented as to how wonderful they were, how great the food was. They provided all the food, their own equipment and washed up and cleaned at the end of the party, making the day after the wedding clean-up very easy!
Congrats to Jaira and Paul and thanks to Briars Atlas for sharing such a stunning celebration! For more backyard wedding inspiration, be sure to check out Amber and Matthew’s handcrafted wedding in Sudbury, Ontario.
A tattooed couple, a chuppah covered in ferns, and an overlook of San Francisco made for a fabulously fun and romantic hipster wedding in San Francisco. The indoor ceremony at Sunnyside Conservative took on a natural motif with shades of green accented by bright pink and red buds. The entire celebration was filled with personality, which expert photographers Helena and Laurent brilliantly captured in every frame.
Kate: Despite getting choked up and not being able to deliver the final line of my vows — “I love your face” — Micah nevertheless and unplanned delivered the proper response at the end of his — “You are the best of the human race.”
Micah: There were technical difficulties during our first dance as the song kept skipping. We were unfazed and, as the DJ looped the track around the skips, we looped our dancing to match and got all of our friends to join us for the beginning of what turned into the dance party to end all dance parties.

All of our wedding professionals stood out: Helena and Laurent captured our aesthetic perfectly (and are just rad folks, to boot). Shannon’s floral designs — especially the chuppah — were out of this world. And our caterers were able to design a menu that honored both our heritages and respected our guests’ diverse dietary preferences. We feel lucky to have worked with such a talented group of people.
