The days that follow your wedding are full of excitement and fresh, jittery love. Colleen and Ben shared a romantic, rustic post-wedding shoot in Scotland. Clipping her own flowers, Colleen created a personalized bridal crown. The greenery surrounding the Monachyle MHOR Hotel made the perfect atmosphere for incredible photos. This Modern Love photography captured the precious moments the couple spent at their honeymoon session.
After the sweetest proposal at Megan’s grandparents’ farm, Megan and Nolan felt the farm would be the most perfect venue for their rustic, burlap wedding. Driving in on an old Chevy truck, the couple arrived at the reception surrounded by tables covered in ivory satin and tan burlap. Stalks of straw, white roses and baby’s breath dressed the red barn, creating a truly romantic setting. Glasser Images expertly captured the couple on their special day!
The Couple:
Megan and Nolan
The Wedding:
Private Residence, Dickinson, North Dakota
The Inspiration:
We wanted a classy day followed by a fun night. The rustic theme seemed to fit with the barn dance too.
The Moments:
The drive from the church in Nolan‘s Grandpa’s old truck. We got to steal away from all the commotion and just be together for a few minutes. Also, dancing with all of our family and friends. We both have large families, so having everyone together at once is a rare occasion.
The Couple Recommends:
We loved our wedding planner. Charlene put in a lot of effort for our wedding and was really accommodating. I would recommend her to anyone. She recruited a whole crew to help out on our big day. The O’briens catered our wedding. They are a couple that lives in the area and spends many weekends catering events out of their mobile catering trailer. We had people saying it was the best wedding food they’ve had. We also loved our photographers. They are pros at what they do and were extremely organized which helped us out greatly. They were also a lot of fun.
Deciding to hold your wedding in the state you fell in love is a great first step in setting a romantic tone for your big day. Hannah and Justin’s gold and sage Breckenridge wedding combined the natural beauty of the Colorado mountains with their laid-back spirit to create a day that perfectly embodied their love. Photographer Levi Tijerina so effortlessly captured the ease of the celebration and the moments that made the wedding so inexplicably theirs.
We met and fell in love in Colorado, but moved away to DC for work/grad school. When we were planning our wedding we both really were excited by the idea of getting married in the Colorado mountains. When we found our venue (which used to be a gold mine and is tucked away in the mountains outside of Breckenridge) we fully embraced the rustic, low-key mountain-vibe. We are also both proud nerds and found ways to incorporate this into our wedding, without making it feel like too much of a theme.
The Moments:
We spent a lot of time crafting our wedding ceremony. In Colorado you do not need an officiant to get legally married, and as we are both secular, we fully embraced this fact. Our “officiant-less” ceremony was performed by members of our bridal party, with different people doing readings (“Love” by Roy Croft and “Union” by Robert Fulghum) as well as some pieces we wrote ourselves. It took a lot of time to write our own ceremony, but seeing how enthusiastic our friends were about participating (and how well it was received by our guests) made everything worth it. Our vows were especially powerful, and when I think back on that moment it still gives me chills.
The Couple Recommends:
We were incredibly fortunate to work with fantastic vendors. Our venue was amazing. So unique, gorgeous, and everyone was friendly and really went out of their way to make our wedding perfect. Our caterers were also incredibly helpful with our unique venue (off the grid and no running water!) and I don’t know how we would have done it with out them. Our photographer was also fantastic and I can’t tell you the number of people who have told us we have the most gorgeous wedding photos they have ever seen!
Congrats to Hannah and Jason on their romantic Breckenridge wedding! For more Colorado wedding inspiration, be sure to check out Keri and Sam’s Devil’s Thumb Ranch wedding in the snow.
