A Laid Back And Intimate Wedding – Jaci & Craig

Posted on September 20, 2013 | 1 comment

“The wedding day was awesome, and we had a great time; but the highlight was definitely the group sing-along to “Bohemian Rhapsody,” or maybe the sing-along to “Total Eclipse of the Heart.” They both made me pretty happy.”

Today I have another gorgeous wedding from one of my favourite photographers Allebach Photography. Jaci & Craig were married at iCi Restaurant in Brooklyn.

We really wanted our wedding to be fun for us and for our guests. We wanted everyone to feel relaxed, which we tried to achieve by keeping the guest list intimate and by incorporating things we like. For example, we had the Back to the Future theme as our recessional (something we have enjoyed together and with our friends throughout the years), we had alligator cake toppers (our college mascot), and a family-style meal with people sitting together at long tables so everyone could really mingle together.

A Magic Gardens Wedding – Anne & Derek

Posted on August 28, 2013 | 5 comments

“I never really think about my tattoos when I’m dressing, since they are a part of me and who I am. I never considered covering them.”

Today I get to share with you Anne & Derek’s colourful wedding that took place in the breathtaking Magic Gardens in Philadelphia, which stunning photography from Mike of Allebach Photography.

“We began as friends who worked together as producers in the independent film industry.”

After working together on a few projects we became business partners, along with 3 of our friends, and together started Double Windsor Films. We worked so much that our work life eventually turned into our social life. We enjoyed each other’s company, loved talking about food, cooking, and eating, and exchanging our horrible dating experiences with each other and one day asked ourselves, why aren’t we dating? Once we both let our guards down, we fell madly in love with each other and here we are today, happily married.

I tried to customize the entire wedding to represent us as a couple. The venue had so much character and was so unique and strange at the same time and I think that describes us a lot. It had a very relaxed atmosphere and that is what we were going for. We didn’t want a fancy over the top parade of traditional wedding traditions. I wanted the vow exchange to be the only traditional factor, after that it was just a fun relaxed party. I didn’t want to tell people when to eat or drink or where to stand and wait. I just wanted everyone to enjoy the venue and have a blast.
