It was October in Iceland, so the weather was harsh, the wind brisk and snowfall was forecasted for the following days. This journey was going to be Marsha and Ed’s first as a couple, their elopement before their big wedding the following year.

Although the couple originally wanted to have their wedding in Dallas, once Tonya stepped foot into Race and Religious, she knew it was the perfect spot. Walking into the venue, it seems as if you're stepping back in time. Race and Religious is screaming with character and is so, immensely rich with history. Its French tiles and other details are 150-200 years old, and the owner outfitted the place with one-of-a-kind pieces of antique furniture fitting for the place. In short, imagine yourself walking into an Anthropologie ad.

Our story takes place in the hills of Levi in Finnish Lapland. Autumn comes early in the arctic circle and for our couple, the crisp fall weather was the perfect invitation for a morning snuggled up by the fire at their cottage.

When we first saw Hailey and Henry's beautiful session by the sea, we couldn't help but imagine this was straight from a Nicholas Sparks film.

Here, we have Becca and Eryck's beautiful engagement session and a peek into their life on the Big Island. Eryck was kind enough to share some insight to living and getting married in paradise.

Lauren and Illya decided long before their wedding that they wanted to travel abroad. After researching, they realized this would be the perfect honeymoon after they tied the knot in New York. Soon after (their wedding), they embarked on their 6-month European honeymoon.

Sachi freelances as a floral designer and Joey is a chef. They met while working at a restaurant together and the spark of attraction was immediate (as Joey enthusiastically attests). Despite having moved into their new home just a few weeks prior to my visit, their cozy space was full of artifacts representing their talents and relationship together.

This inspirational piece set within the stately home estate of Port Eliot in Cornwall, England, focuses on bringing a sense of calm and embracing mindful moments on your wedding day. Your wedding day will likely be one of the most emotionally heightened days of your life and the pressure that comes with such a profound day can leave many brides feeling emotionally vulnerable; particularly in the hours leading up to the ceremony itself when this can be most keenly felt.

The story behind this shoot was to display the stories that live within the venue, inspired by the Mckellar family's history and values. Bob Mckellar, the owner of the venue took over this citrus ranch & upon returning to the 'valley' he rekindled a relationship from high school and married his now wife Ann.

At a table surrounded by their closest friends, they raised a toast - to marriage, art, and good food together. The night grew dim, but the sound of a single guitar flooded the evening as stars began to appear and twinkle overhead. They held each other's hands tightly and smiled at the dear faces around the table, content to be in the midst of what they treasured the most.
