Part 1.

Melanie + Aaron gave me too much to work with! Every part of their wedding was exactly the kind of do-it-yourself style I love. They are photographers themselves, (check out their site here) plus incredibly creative, wonderful human beings. And they have such a great love for each other.

I didn’t want to miss showing you how amazing all the details were from start to finish. Especially since so much love went into making everything either by Melanie + Aaron or their friends and family. You might want to stretch your hands because you’re going to be scrolling down a long time…

Edin Valley Inn was just so adorable. I couldn’t stop shooting all the amazing details.





Bow Ties!





Emotional first look (for all of us.)




Love this, love them!











All kinds different glass bottles Melanie collected from thrift stores, etc.



Tons of quotes displayed all around adorably.

This is my favorite of course! Vintage cameras. I like them with the flowers.



Best Friends Forever.


Melanie made this with fabric. Look at the way the light shines through! Perfection.

First there was Heather + Grayson, then there was Catie + Ben and now there is Melanie + Aaron.. My Hipster wedding of the year!

These two are dear friends of mine and I am so happy for them! Can’t wait to post the rest of their great wedding.

I’m excited to share this wedding with you! I’ve known Erin for such a long time, done several shoots with her and her friends so it was extra special to shoot this wedding! It was filled with so many fun details: gorgeous multi-colored wildflowers, mason jars, wood guest sign, bikes, and not to mention the amazing Twin Peaks setting!

Hello Lover! This is a much more sophisticated version of my favorite jellies from the 80s!

I feel like all my weddings are so inspirational, I want other brides to get ideas! So I get extra excited when they get featured on blogs I love like Style me Pretty. You can see my original post here.

Kelly + Mike are such an amazing couple. I seriously heart them so hard. They were referred by one of my other radtastic couples, Lindsey + Matt. I adore the fact that I get to see my other client-friends at referred weddings. Win-win-win!

This wedding was so great. Great friends, family, details and fun. I loved the purple bow ties and grey suits (groom being the only one wearing a jacket). The flowers were just gorgeous and the table settings were so cute with mason jars, wood, burlap and old bottles. And the lemonade stand… adorable!

They needed assistance with their bow ties!



Groomsmen are so fun!









Kelly’s dad was very emotional seeing her for the first time.

You might remember the adorable Bree + Marty from their super cute antique-y engagement session. Their wedding was in the same fashion! I loved all the whimsical details: books, jars, lace, wildflowers, burlap, cupcakes, candy and more! They spent a lot of time yard sale-ing and did a lot of this themselves. Their florist hosted flower parties where everyone got together and put their bouquets and centerpieces together.

The table setups were so cute! Flowers in mason jars, lace, books, pearls and burlap tablecloths.



I loved what Bree did with the door behind the cake! We actually found that door on their engagement session.

It’s this door:

Cupcakes! (Homemade by Bree, Marty and Bree’s sisters.)

Candy!

Funs!

Here is the Las Vegas Vintage wedding you’ve been waiting for! Lisa is the cousin of my client-friend Catie (of Catie + Ben fame). Feast your eyes on all of these delicious details! Such a great day filled with amazing eye candy and wonderful family and friends.

I’m still so impressed that Lisa + Heath made this sign!

My favorite kind of clouds.







I signed the guest photo tree too!

Special thanks to my associate shooter, the great John Michael Cooper from Altf!

I can not wait to show you how many great details there were at this wedding. Until then, feast your eyes on this amazingical (I like to make up words) Vegas-y sign handmade by the bride and groom….

I love this wedding blog that has so much do with music. It’s such an important part of the wedding day and so much thought goes into picking the perfect songs. And Jessie + Colin definitely put a lot of love into their CD booklet invites and record seating charts.
