Gianna and Patrick chose an intimate elopement in the mountains of Breckenridge, Colorado, with only their Chihuahua and a photographer with them as their witnesses. In Colorado, you don't need an officiant to make it legal, so they decided to say their vows alone. They even got their dog got to sign as a witness with his paw print on the marriage license!Read more...

Melanie and Daniel got hitched on Halloween at the Sure Thing Chapel in downtown Vegas.

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.Read more...

I recently saw a Thread where the poster pointed out that luxury wedding workshop shoots often exclude marginalised couples or those with tattoos, piercings, or other alternative styles. I haven’t been able to stop thinking about how accurate that is! As you know, I’m all about celebrating alternative shoots and weddings (obviously!), but just because someone doesn’t appear to be straight, white, or fit a certain body ideal doesn’t mean they aren’t interested in the luxury end of the wedding market.Read more...

Natalie and Trevor's wedding blended soft gothic aesthetics with the idea of a garden in winter. With black candlesticks, pearls intertwined with grapes, and Miu Miu ballet flats, the couple's moody vision had nods to a medieval aesthetic and vintage touches, or as Natalie described it, "a Sleeping Beauty illustration personified."Read more...

Melissa and Heder’s wedding was gothic romance themed day in September. The couple exchanged vows at the St. Francis Chapel, an architectural gem tucked inside Balboa Park’s Museum of Us. “We love history, art, and architecture, and our venues reflect that,” Melissa says. “The chapel looks like something out of an old Catholic church, but it’s actually an exhibit. It’s unconsecrated, which made it feel like we were bending the rules just a little.”Read more...
