Today I get to bring you this gorgeous wedding photographed by New York’s Joyeuse Photography that took place in Washington. Emily & Kyle even got one of their friends ordained so they could have a more person ceremony.
Being a jeweller, Emily made their own wedding rings – “My business partner made my engagement ring and I wanted to make a really special and unique, but still simple wedding band to fit to the shape. I probably made 8 models before I came up with “the one”. My husband just wanted a plain half round gold band, but being as I am a jeweller I just couldn’t bear doing at least something a little interesting to it. So for his band I forged it out with one of his father’s old hammers. The beat up face of the old steel lent a cool stone-like texture to the gold.“
We’re both in artistic trades (I’m a Jeweller and he’s a tattoo artist) so we wanted to make as much stuff as possible. He printed our invitations from a linoleum block that he designed and hand cut. I made home made canned jams as our favours (blueberry apple, plum cardamom, pear ginger, strawberry rhubarb, and apple butter). I also sewed all my bridesmaid dresses and we made all our decorations.
