Nicole & Josef’s intimate gothic backyard wedding

Gothic details, a shimmery black dress, lots of skulls, and a sweet little backyard tent for all the loved ones. There was a lot of DIY, and with it, some sage words of advice about self-catering. But our favorite part has to be the story of the father/daughter dance surprise. Get your hanky!

Carrie & Mason’s barefoot mountain wedding

This pair wanted a planned elopement in the mountains followed by a second ceremony and barn party the weekend after! It’s the best of both worlds. It may have been August in Kentucky (meaning HOT), but everyone pulled up a box fan and had a steamy, dreamy, barefooted good time.

Courtney & Jason’s li’l Las Vegas pin-up wedding

Las Vegas isn’t really known for subtle and intimate, but this pair made it happen, complete with a pin-up-inspired backdrop at a 1950s-styled Las Vegas wedding chapel. Add a twirly dress and crinoline, a ceremony high-five, and some “zombie faces,” and this was a retro-fab party. Add on the big Toronto reception a month later, and the celebration was complete. Oh, and wait until you see the surprise ring from the bride!

Ailecia & Max’s magical punk rock wedding in the woods

This woodsy punk wedding was a full day of games, singing, barbecue, swimming, and a sweet little ceremony smack dab in the middle. Plus, everyone looked amazing in corsets, tutus, and leather flowers. Oh, and don’t miss this kitty-loving couple’s photo-bomber!
