For Eryn and Vance, the appeal of eloping was simple: it gave them the chance to focus on each other. “We met in a way that felt completely natural, and from the beginning, everything just felt easy,” they shared. What started as something simple grew into a partnership where they became each other’s constant. That led them to Oahu’s North Shore for a Hawaii elopement, where dramatic landscapes, shifting weather, and quiet moments together set […]

An Immersive and Sacred Cenote Wedding in Tulum
When Mel and Kim met at a St. Vincent concert, neither of them expected they’d eventually end up together, planning a wedding from a Sprinter van while traveling across the United States.

A Modern, Textured Alt-Bridal Editorial at Calgary’s Fortuna’s Row
When Junebug vendor OM Wedding Storytelling began planning this modern romantic styled shoot, the goal was surprisingly simple: create something different. Photographer Montse Zavala wanted to move away from the wedding inspiration she was seeing around her and create a look that felt modern, romantic, slightly vintage, and a little unexpected. She started with the idea of an alternative bride and built the shoot one detail at a time. The jewelry. The dress. The braid. […]

This Laid-Back Boho Key Largo Wedding Was a Full Weekend of Good Vibes
Anne and David’s Key Largo wedding felt like an open invitation into the life they had already built together. They met during their senior year at the University of Miami—he was a platform diver, she ran track and cross country—and what started off easy and casual eventually turned into something steady. Just a few months after graduating, Anne moved in with David and his roommates without overthinking it. That same instinct carried them through bigger […]
This Wedding was a Toast to Amsterdam, and Even Included a Canal Boat Cocktail Hour
Katie and Brian didn’t plan to meet in Amsterdam, and they definitely didn’t expect that a few shared days there would turn into a relationship spanning years, cities, and countless flights. Looking back, though, it makes sense that their story would lead them back to the same place for their wedding. They met in June 2015 after a mix of timing and coincidence placed them in the same apartment. Katie was studying abroad and needed […]
Chicago Firehouse Wedding Full of Bookish Charm, Celestial Details, and Antique Treasures
Isa and Andrew’s Chicago Firehouse wedding came together the same way their relationship did: quickly, instinctively, and without much second-guessing. After meeting at work, what started as “hours of loitering at each other’s desks and dodging HR’s watchful eye” turned into something immediate. “This wasn’t a slow burn office romance,” they shared. “It was a ‘when you know, you know’ kind of connection, and we both immediately knew.” That certainty carried straight into their wedding […]

They met in 2021, during that strange, in-between phase of the pandemic when everything felt a little uncertain and a little more open. What started as […]
Texas Set the Tone for This Hill Country Wedding at Camp Lucy
Jennifer didn’t wait for an introduction. Spotting Benjamin at an event before a basketball game, she walked up and asked if he liked the symphony. It caught him off guard, but that small moment set everything in motion. A few months later, after finally going on their first date, things clicked in a way that felt easy from the start. That same sense of ease carried into their wedding at Camp Lucy, where a full […]
