Victoria-and-Sotonte-Pixies-in-the-Cellar-on-Junebug-Weddings-1-2

We’ve got a fun wedding to share today! Victoria & Sotonte decided their day should reflect their heritage along with their fun personalities, hence their traditional British ceremony and wildly fun Kalabari after-party. All beautifully captured by Pixies in the Cellar, Victoria & Sotonte’s special day captured the beauty of two cultures coming together to celebrate love. Enjoy!

The Couple: Victoria & Sotonte

The Wedding Ceremony: St. Joseph’s Church Harrogate

The Inspiration: “I would describe our wedding as a very simple, elegant and traditional British wedding during the day followed by a chaotic Kalabari party in the evening.”

Vendor Recommendations from the Couple:

“The professionals I would recommend would be Pixies in the Cellar and the staff at Rudding who dealt with a very chaotic wedding trying to co-ordinate two very different cultures and lots of guests and last minute changes but they dealt with everything that was thrown at them with professionalism and a smile. Rudding Park ensured that every detail was perfect and stress free and Pixies in the Cellar captured every moment of our day in a way that reflects who we are as a couple.”

From the planner –

“I’m typically inspired by life’s most (seemingly) insignificant moments. For this stunner of a shoot, I was daydreaming about happy hour and a Tequila Sunrise popped into my head. The way the more dense ingredient of grenadine ends up settling to the bottom of the glass while the orange juice floats on top is so interesting to me. The tonal stages end up being quite beautiful, and off my mind went thinking about color gradation. This sparked a domino effect of ideas ranging from a multi-colored, dip-dyed dessert backdrop, to watercolor inspired stationery and cake, to bright, vivid florals, to soft and romantic styling. I hope this shoot encourages you to be inspired by life’s most miniscule occurrences and create a day where you and your fiance feel celebrated and surrounded by warmth and love.”

Vintage DIY Backyard Wedding

September 22, 2014 | Junebug Weddings

natural couple's portrait

Whitney and Jonathan’s vintage DIY backyard wedding was a darling and down-to-earth celebration. The bride, groom, and friends and family helped to personalize their special day, from making the signs and floral arrangements to officiating the ceremony. The couple’s charming backyard wedding was beautifully photographed by Heather Elizabeth Photography.

The Couple: Whitney and Jonathan

The Wedding: Private Estate, Healdsburg, CA

The Inspiration: From start to finish, when we planned our wedding we focused on three things: family, fun, and nature. We wanted to find a way to share the things that defined our relationship, our love, and our adventures with the community of people that inspire us to be who we are. We wanted everyone to be a part of our ceremony and celebration.
