Travel Inspired Wedding at Thistle Springs Ranch

January 20, 2015 | Junebug Weddings

Sentimental-Wedding-Thistle-Springs-Bradford-Martens-39

Being a group of Texas girls, we can’t help but love featuring weddings from the Lone Star state. Lauren and John’s glamorous rustic wedding at Thistle Springs Ranch was inspired by the couple’s love of travel, using vintage post cards from around the world on each table at their reception. The exceptional Bradford Martens Photography was the perfect choice for capturing Lauren and John’s wedding, as Bradford’s style shines with natural elements, neutral color palettes, and sentimental moments. These images are absolutely captivating, and the contrast between dark and light will take your breath away.

The Couple:

Lauren and John

The Wedding:

Thistle Springs Ranch, Cleburne, Texas

The Inspiration:

Since we are both passionate about seeing the world, we incorporated a lot of travel-themed elements: vintage globes, maps, suitcases. I went with neutral hues that would blend well with the green landscape and the wooden barn on the ranch.

Urban Engagement Session from Callaway Gable

January 20, 2015 | Junebug Weddings

Los Angeles Art District engagement

Engagement sessions are such a fun opportunity to showcase a couple’s personality, and we love when an urban photo shoot brings out the best of the couple while also showing off the character of a city. The exceptional photographers at Callaway Gable accomplished both of these goals with Stacee and Kim’s Los Angeles Arts District engagement session. The cool couple did a fantastic job dressing for the photo session, ensuring that their outfits complemented each other’s and the epic street art around them.

San Francisco Wedding at Pelican Inn

January 20, 2015 | Junebug Weddings

Memoire Studio

Lai and Barry’s San Francisco wedding at The Pelican Inn has a subtle nautical theme calling back to the essence of the Bay Area. Memoire Studio beautifully captured the couple as they exchanged vows and then danced the night away after a quick outfit change. We can’t get enough of the terrarium table décor — definitely a must-have for a wedding with natural vibes.

The Couple:

Lai and Barry

The Wedding:

The Pelican Inn, San Francisco, California

The Moment:

While it is of course difficult to choose, we both have a special place in our hearts for the ceremony itself. The force-wind gale miraculously subsided for those twenty minutes, and there was such a gravity yet intimacy to it all.
