Monica & Clint’s literary garden wedding

This pair had a big surprise just two weeks after getting engaged: the groom was being deployed. And so started the long-distance planning (Florida to Ohio) with a deployed groom to boot!

Allie & Megan’s traditional Christian wedding goes queer

These two traditional, feminist, queer, Christian women are an interesting mix. Add in their vegetarian reception, and you can imagine how many challenges they may have faced. But, outside of some catering reservations, you’d never know it! This wedding blends all of these factors into a sweet and lovely day that fits these two like a glove.

Heather & James’ kilted Medieval fantasy “secret wedding”

Kilts, handmade gowns, and a William Wallace sword — it’s the Braveheart-themed wedding of your fantasy-filled dreams! Two days, a nighttime “secret ceremony,” and The Texas Ren Fest makes for a an awesome time. And since these two are Army vets, it made perfect sense to have the wedding on Veteran’s Day.
