Engagement shoots are all about capturing moments. When moments are as candid and heart-warming as Megan and Zach’s engagement session at the Fryeburg Fair in Maine, you can’t help but fall in love with the photographs! The couple shared the sweetest day together surrounded by games, lights and fun. The amazing Darling Photography captured the most beautiful moments of the excited, newly engaged couple.
Baby’s breath, dark-blue ribbons, and a birdcage veil worked together to give this vintage wedding at The Farm a timeless, elegant look. Megan and Taylor wished to have wedding decor that was raw and simple, and they couldn’t have been happier with the outcome! Bouquets made of straw marked the columns of seats leading up to the stage where the couple exchanged vows. To show the guests a token of their gratitude, the couple offered jars of jam at the reception. Megan and Taylor’s classically beautiful wedding was expertly captured by the talented professionals at Willett Photography.
Throughout our relationship, our style has converged on vintage sophistication. We wanted décor that was raw, simple, and timeless. We have a huge appreciation for vintage pieces that are still functional in today’s society. Therefore, we incorporated a lot of old books, a globe as our ‘guestbook’, a typewriter for the bar menu, and several mercury-glass candleholders. This theme paired perfectly with DIY budgeting, because the resulting imperfections gave the décor character, rather than subtracting from the sophistication we hoped to maintain. Our wedding day fashion extended from there, where we blended current trends (funky socks and my backless dress) with classic pieces (three-piece suits and birdcage veils). All together, our goal was to create a wedding day that could have existed in 1920 or 2120.
The Moments:
Being rather private, we wanted to be alone for the big reveal, just us and the photographers, who are also friends of ours. Taylor specifically recalls one photographer saying “Just wait, you won’t believe how she looks,” with each comment building even more excitement. On my end, as I waited, there was a moment where everything fell silent and a faint breeze rustled the trees, and I felt completely at peace. It was this anticipation that we both remember vividly, but that moment when he turned around… I can’t even explain it. Just us, completely in our moment, forgetting about the cameras and the guests being seated up the hill. It was absolutely the most emotional part of the day, and I don’t think I’ll ever be able to fully describe it.
The Couple Recommends:
Willett Photographers are absolutely wonderful at what they do. They’re professional, timely, and extremely talented. I knew from day one that they would be our photographers and I am forever happy with that decision. Also, Cindy Wooten. She is a genius with the sewing machine. My dress was too large and originally covered my back up to my shoulder blades, and after just a few visits with her, I had a well-structured backless dress with a bustled train and a perfect fit!!! She is the go-to person in Plant City, FL, where I grew up, and a dear, dear friend who made my favorite wedding project a reality.
Sandra and Jonathan’s gold and blush wedding at the Richard Nixon Library was as irresistibly romantic as it was purely Californian. The gorgeous details designed by Splendor & Bliss perfectly captured the warmth of Sandra and Jonathan’s love with bright candles, dusty pink accents, and sophisticated gold décor.
We knew we wanted a simple yet elegant romantic wedding. I love the color gold! So we used that color as our main pallet. We live in sunny California but the weather was in the low 60s and it was January so we wanted a wintry wedding. We used a lot of candles and our florist showed us dusty millers and succulents. They made our centerpieces look a bit wintry without over doing it. The ceremony was outside with lush colors of green and blush/white tones. The reception felt warm and romantic because I requested a lot of candles. Candles all over the room.
The Moments:
Jonathan: Everything! The whole day!!
Sandra: Me too!! But I have a moment with my dad that brings tears to my eyes. I did a first look with my dad and that was a special moment for me personally.
The Couple Recommends:
Everyone was lovely and caring!! All of our vendors took their time to make sure everything we wanted happened that day. When we needed help they were always there for us. We had moments when we panicked but they helped us relax and we trusted them. We had some hard times trying to figure out what we wanted but they ALL helped us make our dream wedding into reality.
