Katie & Gordon’s bird-themed barn wedding featuring a naughty goose

This bird-themed wedding started with the perfect wildlife preserve venue. Flocks of fauna and a peacock circle made for some feather-y awesomeness. Except for when one very bold goose decided to invade the ceremony. But aside from rogue geese, this gorgeous wedding was luminous. Wait until you see the bride’s amazing feather sleeves!

Sarah & Nathaniel’s “A Love For All Of Time and Space” wedding

A life-size TARDIS, a TARDIS cake, a Doctor Who officiant, and loads of sci-fi details… you space-theme lovers are in for a treat. Add in the convertible gold dress, the DIYed heart backdrop, and the heart-melting father/daughter waltz, and you’ll see how sweet sci-fi can be. Oh, and this bride has some SERIOUSLY good anecdotes for taking on too much and asking for help.

Julie & Tim’s garden party family and friends wedding

Gathering family from many locations can be stressful, but these two celebrated their 15-year romance with their nearest and dearest and made it look easy. They rocked a choreographed mother-daughter-sister dance and a “first performance” instead of a first dance. But a cameo from a carboard pooch proved the funniest moment of all.

Lisa & Will’s rainy rainbow festival wedding

Get ready to be envious of the sheer amount of fun in this wedding: a bouncy castle, arcade games, a maypole, the limbo, live music, and a silent disco at the end of the night! This was a three-day weekend of laid-back camping shenanigans. Add in the butterflies and the amazing pagan handfasting and we’re all just done-for.
