Dreamy New Zealand Wedding by Erich McVey

January 19, 2015 | Junebug Weddings

Erich McVey wedding photography

When the bride is a wedding planner and the photographer is Erich McVey, you know the wedding is going to be impossibly beautiful. Adele and David took one look at Erich McVey’s photography and knew his soft and dreamy style would be perfect for their natural New Zealand wedding. We adore the textured greenery in Adele’s crown and bouquet. The simple styling shifted the emphasis to the beautiful and intimate moments shared between Adele and David as they became husband and wife.

The Couple:

Adele and David

The Wedding:

Black Barn Vineyards, Hawkes Bay, New Zealand

The Inspiration:

I do wedding planning on the side, so when it came to my wedding, I knew I wanted my wedding to look as natural and simple as possible and I knew just the place.

I wanted my photos to look soft and dreamy. So we went with Erich McVey, a gifted man, very talented and very passionate about what he does. He is a professional. A rare find. And his lovely wife! Oh, she is just so adorable! If you’ve met her you would know what I meant, it’s impossible not to love her. They are such a lovely couple and just people you feel genuinely privileged to have met.

The Moments:

Holding David’s hands at the altar, it was just him and I in that moment. We read our vows in Korean and I think my voice was trembling and only David could make out what I wanted to say which made it even more special. We were with everyone, and yet we were alone; it was like singing lovers secret song that others didn’t understand.

The Couple Recommends:

My wedding photographer, Erich McVey — I go through my wedding photos regularly and I am so amazed how beautiful we look in the photos every time we see those photos. He is just too talented!

I must say that my hair stylist, make up stylist and florist trio was just perfect. They were so lovely, down-to-Earth and easy going yet so perfectly professional. I’ve received so many compliments on their work, especially the table setting that my florist did. They are a blissful bunch.

Announcing the Catherine Rhodes Wedding Photography Giveaway Winner!

January 19, 2015 | Junebug Weddings

Congratulations to Lauren and Peter! This adorable pair, who are getting married in Big Bear California, Spring of 2016, are the lucky winners of the Catherine Rhodes Wedding photography giveaway.

LaurenPeter_CatherineRhodesPhotography_WeddingGiveaway

Here’s their cute proposal story:

“We were camping and hiking at Julia Pfeiffer Burns park in Big Sur, CA when Peter found a little nook in the trees and suggested we crawl in. We were then in this little nook on the cliff side surrounded by trees looking at the ocean! He put the camera on auto shoot and during the second set asked me to switch spots so I stood up and that’s when he got down on one knee. While cliff sides are beautiful I accidentally placed the ring on the rock to take a photo and it tumbled over and was dangling on a tiny corner a centimeter away from falling into the ocean 500 feet below…..”

Congratulations, again, you two! And a H U G E thank you to Catherine Rhodes for offering up such an awesome giveaway.

Sweet and Simple Backyard Wedding in California

January 18, 2015 | Junebug Weddings

Sweet-Backyard-Wedding-Apertura-Inc-7

Ashley and Jeff’s backyard wedding was inspired by feminine details and classic elements, making for a lovely and natural celebration. Having your wedding in a familiar place, like a parents’ backyard, can result in such calm and ease, and Erwin Darmali of Apertura perfectly captured these emotions through his lens. A couple of precious flower girls are a wonderful bonus, and these two brought so much joy to the story of Ashley and Jeff’s wedding day.

The Couple:

Ashley and Jeff

The Wedding:

Private Residence, Pasadena, California

The Inspiration:

Simple, girly and natural. The wedding was at my parents home in the backyard which is situated at the edge of the Angeles National Forest. I’ve always been a nature girl and when my parents were looking for a new home during my childhood I saw it in the local newspaper and showed my mom. I’ve grown up in the woods and I wanted the focus to be on my home.
