Rainy redwoods and tons of DIY at this Wes Anderson-themed wedding
The first thing to know about this wedding is that it rained. Not just any rain. It poured. And of course, it was an outdoor wedding in a redwood grove only accessible by an antique steam train. So there was no Plan B. But thankfully for us, everyone put on their galoshes and headed out to get Karen and Austin married.
But just wait, there’s more. The reception was Wes Anderson-themed!
An intimate and majestic Middle-earth elopement in New Zealand (with a rainbow!)
Kyle is an extrovert and wanted a large wedding in our hometown with all of our family and friends.

I wanted our wedding to be an adventure.
We decided to do both! Here’s our magical Middle-earth elopement…
An Andy Warhol-inspired wedding had an artist’s eye and it totally shows
Gina and DJ had an art-inspired wedding with one of the most interesting cakes with an amazing story. There were Andy Warhol details everywhere (including the cake, as you’ll see!) including Warhol postcards tucked underneath the napkins, Campbell’s soup cans as vases in the centerpieces, and cookies based on some vintage Warhol wrapping paper.

This community-centered Catskills wedding stole our hearts
Ashley and Mi’s amazing Catskills wedding was a handcrafted labor of love among their friends and community. Together they made hand-stamped welcome bags and poetry journals, Ashley’s handmade earrings, paper cranes and ribbons hung from trees, collected bottles as centerpieces, and a group reading during the ceremony.
After the ceremony, it was dinner and a sparkler parade led by fiddle players to a contra band and square dance caller. We can only the imagine the fun after that. Let’s see it all…
