An Evening Under The Stars – Maria & Sam

Posted on January 17, 2014 | 2 comments

Today I get to share with you the rad wedding of Maria & Sam from What The F4 Photography.. They both met through friends at Roller Derby.

“I spotted Sam’s tattoos and beard and thought he looked interesting. He won me over with his sense of humour and big heart.. For Sam I think it was my tattooed thighs!”

I don’t have a creative bone in my body! This is when the little independent shops and Etsy came in handy! Being able to have our wedding reception on a boat with Halloween decorations made it fun and very special.

As I was able to design my dress with Sophie Creed of Ears and Whiskers at Hubbard’s Cupboard from scratch, I didn’t really have to take too much into consideration. The only this I was adamant about was that I didn’t want lace or any other kind of sleeves – It was important that I was able to be me and show my ink off!

A Wine Bar And Bistro Wedding In Ohio – Johnna & Will

Posted on December 2, 2013 | 1 comment

Today I get to share with you Johnna & Will’s wedding that took place at Cork’s Wine Bar & Bistro in Ohio with fabulous photography from Meghan G Photography.

We met when a mutual friend invited us on a day trip to Put-In-Bay. We locked eyes and hated each other instantly. At one point during the day we were arguing in front of a group of total strangers, but by the end of the day we were laughing and holding hands. We’ve been together ever since.

It was really important to us to keep the entire event true to us. There were so many little details that we included such as using a Dr. Seuss poem in place of a prayer or religious reading during our ceremony.

“We each had a deceased grandparent that meant a lot to us so we each wore an heirloom of theirs during the ceremony. His was his grandfather’s pocket watch and mine was my grandmother’s wedding rings.”

A Skull Filled, Black And White Wedding In Milwaukee – Sarah & Jon

Posted on November 18, 2013 | 1 comment

“Unbeknownst to me, for 2 years he had been folding 1,000 origami cranes for me. He only worked on it while I was at school or work. As the legend goes, if you fold 1,000 cranes, your wish would come true. 1,000 cranes is also a common wedding gift in China to wish a thousand years of happiness and prosperity upon the couple.”

I love Sarah’s story of how Jon proposed to her on her birthday in 2011. As well as being a magician, bartender,, graphic designer, balloon animal maker, punk rock music enthusiast and many more, he is also an origami artist.
