Vanessa and Ryan’s Lake Hayes wedding brought 10 of their closest family members and friends to a private villa in New Zealand for a week of celebrations.

The Vows They Never Said Finally Came to Life on the Shores of Cannon Beach, Oregon

Golden Light and Personal Vows at This Serene Emerald Bay Lake Tahoe Elopement
Kristine and Tracy exchanged private vows at Emerald Bay, with Lake Tahoe’s vast blue waters, mountains, and Fannette Island stretching out behind them.

Timeless Italian Elegance in This Bellevue Syrene Wedding in Sorrento
Ariana and Michael exchanged vows on the Villa Pompeiana terrace overlooking the Gulf of Naples, kept the decor to white florals and understated tablescapes, and, after midnight, led their guests through an ancient stone passage to continue dancing inside a cave carved into the Sorrento cliffs. For their Bellevue Syrene wedding, much of the plan came down to knowing when to leave a good thing alone. Sorrento had already earned a place in their story […]
A Jewish Ceremony Against an Ocean Sunset at This Ritz-Carlton Laguna Niguel Wedding
Shauna and Jon’s ceremony unfolded on the bluffs overlooking the Pacific, with the sun dropping toward the horizon as they exchanged vows. By the time their Jewish ceremony ended, the sun had set completely. Family heirlooms were incorporated into the ceremony, adding meaningful touches to the Ritz-Carlton Laguna Niguel’s oceanfront setting. The rest of the day shifted between two distinct settings. Outside, Shauna and Jon envisioned something with a rustic, Italian influence. Indoors, they moved […]
Handmade, Homegrown, and Undeterred by a Storm: A Quiraing Isle of Skye Elopement
A major storm had knocked out power across much of the Scottish Highlands. Fallen trees and power lines had closed every road to the Isle of Skye, and when Lou and McKay asked for advice on making the trip, the response was fairly straightforward: “Don’t go, don’t even try.” They went anyway. After eventually reaching Skye and enduring another night of heavy rain, they woke on the morning of their Quiraing elopement to blue skies. […]
Inside Leanne Ansar’s French-American Wedding at a Hidden Gothic Abbey in Burgundy
A five-meter veil, a centuries-old Gothic abbey, and a late-night speakeasy serving burgers and fries aren’t the most obvious combination. For Léanne Ansar and Louis Terme, though, the combination made sense. Their wedding brought together Léanne’s love of French history with the years she spent living in the United States. They chose a secluded abbey in Burgundy, kept the florals understated, and worked with local vendors to showcase the region’s food and craftsmanship. But there […]
This Queer Two-Day Mexico City Wedding Blended Pakistani Tradition and Mexican Culture Beautifully
Furhan Shah and Ben Fortuin’s wedding took place over two days and two very different Mexico City venues. The first brought Pakistani wedding traditions, colorful clothing, a dhol player, speeches, and dancing to the gardens of Museo Casa de la Bola. The next moved to Ex-Convento de San Hipólito, where black-and-white attire, dramatic lighting, a non-denominational ceremony, and a packed dance floor changed the look entirely. Junebug vendor Alex Krotkov was there for both days […]
