On a summer day in Oregon, Andie and Jimmy brought their families together for a celebration that sidestepped tradition in favour of something more unexpected. They chose to exchange vows at the top of Wallowa Lake Tramway, surrounded by views of the Eagle Cap Wilderness, wearing lace from Andie’s late mother’s dress. After the ceremony led by a punk poet friend, they ended the day racing go-karts!

So many weddings start with a grand venue, expensive outfits and a colour scheme planned down to the last detail. And while we love weddings like that of course, Caleb and Gabbi did something entirely different. They started with the simple idea of just throwing a party that just happened to include a wedding. No rigid timelines, no unnecessary formalities, just a celebration that felt like them.

Chana and Nate’s wedding was a weekend-long celebration blending a disco chic bowling alley party the night before, with a colourful yet glam wedding day. They chose Wave Resort in New Jersey for its sleek coastal aesthetic and open, airy design. From the moment they stepped into the venue, with its exposed ceilings, concrete floors, and signature santal and lavender scent, they knew it was the place. “We never even toured another venue", Chana said. "It had everything we wanted, and the vibe was just right,”

Spontaneous Elopement in San Francisco

When Daria slipped into a vintage Mark Ingham gown, everything suddenly made sense. The dress fit as if it had been made for her, and with that, all the uncertainty about how and where to celebrate their wedding disappeared. She and Kaleb had considered everything from a formal church ceremony to an elopement in the mountains, but none of it had felt quite right. The dress, however, made the decision for them. They would marry at San Francisco City Hall and end the night in their own way at the Phoenix Hotel.

When Isabella and Russell (who you might recognise from Fallout!) matched on an online dating app, they found out they were born only five days apart, attended the same college, and even shared the last four digits of their phone numbers! There’s coincidence and there’s fate, and they agreed their connection falls under the latter. Believing their two late Italian grandmothers were conspiring from beyond, they deemed it imperative to meet again the next day. They did and never looked back. Just over a year later, Russell took Isabella to see the winter illumination at the Brooklyn Botanical Gardens, where they had gone on one of their first dates. He popped the question, and when she said yes, he swept her away to a surprise party to celebrate with their families.

Moody November Wedding at a Gothic New York Mansion

The Cardinals

January 22, 2025

Meghan and Chris’s November wedding was held at a gothic style mansion in the Catskills, New York. They were entranced by the venue, which was filled with rich history, and stunning woods surrounding it. They really tried to make it their own; the first dance, for example, was done behind a curtain with a spotlight so their 75 guests could only see their silhouettes. They also had a tarot card reader as an option for guests who didn't want to dance in the evening.
