Brandi and Josh first met at a local coffee house after being set up by some of Brandi’s co-workers. Their coffee date lasted five hours getting and the rest is history! They decided to elope, and then, eight years later, had a vow renewal with family and friends present.
“When Josh and I first married almost eight years ago, we were so young and very in love. We didn’t have a lot of money or a clear vision for our ‘dream day’”, said Brandi. “Honestly, we just wanted to commit our lives to one another.”
“The theme for our vow renewal was industrial and we focused on one-of-a-kind pieces and décor. It reflected us and both our personalities in the best possible way. Our vow renewal celebration was even better than our wedding day because this time we have history, we have memories, and we have a deeper love than we could ever have imagined.”
“We think the best advice that we can give to future brides and grooms is to keep it about the two of you. This is a day that you will always remember, and what’s most memorable is the love between you two. Honour that first, and don’t give too much attention to the ‘stuff’.”

I think a lot of you will know Sassy already. She is an amazing wedding photographer and I'm really lucky because I get to share her incredible weddings all the time. A few years ago she also wrote an article for me about her own wedding photography experience which went kinda viral (read: it was one of my most popular articles of all time!)
So, when she told me that she and her gorgeous husband, Ian, were renewing their vows in Thailand I was really, really excited. Excited for them because they'd finally have the epic photographs they deserved, but extra excited for me and you because I knew she'd let me blog it!

Adam and Meghan wanted to find a suitably Rock n Roll venue for their alternative wedding in Pheonix. After a long search they eventually came across The Duce which ticked all their boxes! "We wanted the wedding to let us shine through", began the bride. "We didn't want a particular theme. When we were looking at wedding venues, we wanted something that was already us. In Phoenix, there are tons of country clubs and botanical gardens. But none of that really fit who Adam and I are. It was to the point that it was bumming us out that we weren't able to find something in our budget that fit us. We had heard about The Duce through a friend, so we went to check it out."

Industrial Eclectic Downtown Los Angeles: Phil & Joelle

Phil & Joelle were married at Studio Six01, an event spaces with a industrial vibe in downtown Los Angeles. They planned their wedding in just three months with the help of event planners Two B Events. "Because we had dated for so long, once we got engaged we knew we wanted to do a very short engagement", explained Joelle. "We initially planned on six months, but due to schedule conflicts that ended up being shortened to three months and a day. It was then that we realized we needed help, and Seth and Ziza of Two B Events came to our rescue. I wouldn't have done it any other way! Second to saying 'I do', hiring event designers was the best thing we did for our wedding. I loved every detail but my two very favorite things were the vows and the hanging edison bulbs (especially as seen in the chandelier built by Two B Events)."
