Jennifer and Zlatko are a beautiful couple who fell in love with each other, and then their venue. We love when a wedding is styled to allow the venue to speak for itself, and the rustic-meets-modern aesthetic of Shobac Cottages is brilliantly showcased in Elegant Productions‘ styling of this oceanside wedding in Nova Scotia. Applehead Studio masterfully captured Jennifer and Zlatko’s day. The first look is one of our favorite moments (and Jennifer’s too!) because you can see the excitement bursting out of the couple as they saw each other for the first time on their wedding day. The romantic event was accented by rustic elements and literary details. We adore the idea of used books as wedding favors!

The Couple: Jennifer and Zlatko

The Wedding: Shobac Cottages, Nova Scotia, Canada

The Inspiration: “We used cues from the wedding venue itself. Kept it simple. Romantic, rustic and polished.”

The Moments: “Number one moment was our reveal, it was pure bliss, and really set the tone for the wedding. We were so happy and relaxed after that moment. Also, on our wedding day it was raining and foggy in the morning, of course we were nervous because we wanted our ceremony outside on the edge of the ocean. We were talking about back up plans to have the ceremony inside, then our photographer showed up with a little weather app on his phone and explained and promised the weather would be perfect. And he was right! The blue skies and sun came out as we said our vows. A second cousin of the bride was our ceremonial officiant, so to repeat the words after someone we trust and love meant the world to us. That moment couldn’t have been any better!”

The Couple Recommends: “Our photographers, were outstanding. They were both professional, fun, easy to be around, and I think the big thing is they really just get it. So happy we had them. Liam and Steph stayed until the party was over, not all wedding photographers do that! They crave all the moments, hunt for them and catch them. The food was incredible, and the service was wonderful.”
