We are blown away by the spectacle of this Iceland hiking elopement

When two East Coast adventurers who love to hike and travel meet in medical school, they just might get along. Not only did Elita and Matt get along, but they found their partner in life. Fast forward to a trip to New Zealand where Matt proposed a lifetime of adventure to Elita. Then it was all about planning their Iceland hiking elopement.

This New York City pair planned a superb wedding in just TWO WEEKS! Yep, a whole wedding in two weeks including a venue, outfits, cakes, and more. And it was fabulous. Don’t miss the family walk down the ceremony (post breastfeed!), the daisy themed decor, the surprise Lady Gaga cameo at the after party, and the cake made by their friend (and someone you may know!) Ron Ben-Israel!

Post-wedding portraits at a glorious Hindu mandir in Georgia

We were so excited to be seeing some gorgeous traditional Indian wedding garb. It had been so long! And Ronak and Mital were fabulous in their post-wedding portrait shoot after their wedding in Atlanta. They went to the BAPS Shri Swaminarayan Mandir in Lilburn, GA which offered up an AMAZING backdrop for their portraits.

Vow Renewal Gown DIY

This bride altered her original wedding gown for her gorgeous vow renewal

My husband, Anindeep, and I came to our tenth wedding anniversary very much different people than we were so long ago, now personally and emotionally more enriched. We decided a vow renewal was necessary to celebrate ourselves in this new chapter in realizing our individual selves and expressing our togetherness more meaningfully to each other.

Photography (duh) and fashion are priorities for me, so with NO attire budget and exponentially growing dressmaking skills, I suddenly found the confidence to alter my own wedding gown.
