outdoor wedding

There is something about late spring and early summer weddings that speak to me. It seems by February and March I'm dreaming of all things Spring, and running away to the beach to escape the ice, and slush, and brown stained snow. With Spring comes the lush and vibrant greens, the peonies, ranunculus, garden roses, tulips, scabiosas ( I know such a terrible name for such a pretty flower).  Some of my very favorites flowers that are available this time of year.  Not to mention the weather is seemingly perfect. Making it an ideal time to have a garden wedding.

Hello! My name is Brittany Jorgenson, and I am the venue director of Storybrook Farm in Jonesborough, TN. We are a small boutique wedding venue specializing in memorable micro wedding and elopement events. I love helping couples design unique and intimate occasions. Running a venue that also executes event concepts has given me an amazing opportunity to be a part of so many creative endeavors. The wonderful thing is that each event is always a personalized interpretation of a theme. No two weddings are ever exactly the same.

My wife, Michelle, started her photography business right out of high school. When we got engaged years later, I ended up joining her photography team. Together, we have photographed over 500 weddings in countless venues all over Chicagoland. We both have a special passion for capturing candid moments--the little details and small interactions throughout the day that could never be planned or recreated. It's our job to make time standstill, and we take that job very seriously. Along with our love of photojournalistic photography, we have always had an interest in Chicago's architecture which is why we always appreciated being able to walk into so many different venues all across the city--some with a preserved history and others with a brand new, modern take on design.

Hey! I'm Paige, of Paige Nicole Photography. Today, I want to talk about the wedding that changed the name of the game, the wedding that made me an international wedding photographer.  I had the honor of photographing a very dear friend of mine on her intimate wedding day at the El Dorado Resort Royale in Cancùn, Mexico.  Heres the journey, so let's pack our bags and head to a Mexico Wedding!

I met Rob while I was working on a beautiful ranch in Wyoming, wrangling horses of all things. As a girl from Sweden, I was thrilled to be enjoying the “real” American west, cowgirl boots, hat and all. One day, Rob, who was on an epic journey from Portland, Maine to Portland, Oregon - on his mountain bike - caught my eye. And, while there was no official movie-scene swooning, we were instantly taken with each other, inseparable since. Adventure lovers at heart, Rob and I are on our biggest adventure yet: starting and growing our very own business. Vild photography, our business baby, is a representation of everything we stand for. In Swedish, “vild” means “wild”, and that’s exactly everything we stand for.

Hello there!  I'm a wedding photographer...there I said it.  I love to document the story of two people falling in love and starting the rest of their lives together.  I am lucking enough to get to do this for a living and meet some awesome people along the way.

Back in college, I was fortunate enough to stumble upon a black & photography class that changed my life forever.  Even though I was initially there to study the music industry, I fell in love with the darkroom.  I don't know if it was the smell of the fixer, or the solice of working late hours with nothing but the company of a red safe light, but either way it brought me to my happy place.  A place I could create, a place I could be free, a place where I could express myself through art.  I loved every painstaking minute of it.

Fast forward to today and now I get to combine my passion for analog photography along with current digital technology to give my clients a unique product.  I am a hybrid photographer,

Hi everyone – my name is Robin O’Neill, and I’ve been photographing weddings in and around Whistler, BC, for almost ten years. My primary work as a commercial photographer is founded in outdoor lifestyle and sports action in the mountains, so naturally I love a chance to shoot with outdoorsy adventurous couples. Emily and Tristan were a great fit! Their choice of a rural location, combined with their fun attitude and readiness to explore the natural environment made it one of my all-time favorite weddings to shoot.

Emily and Tristan’s wedding began on a beautiful summer morning at a cedar chalet nestled in the mountains near Whistler. After getting ready inside, they met up along the forested pathways in the nearby woods to see each other for the first time. These guys were so genuinely happy, capturing spontaneous moments was almost too easy!

We then headed up the Sea to Sky highway from Whistler to Pemberton, stopping along the way for a stroll by Green Lake and through an open field.

I love weddings that break the mold. That may be a cliche in the modern wedding mindset that has done a complete 180 from the church social hour weddings of previous generations, but though it may be the hallmark of this decade, it is full of passion, heart, emotion and life. That is what I look for every day in my wedding imagery. I want people to be themselves and then to get back images that don’t just show what they did, but make them feel how they felt. So, when Amanda and Shawn told me they were renting out a Jewish summer camp for a 2 day extravaganza, I barely could stay in my seat.

When we arrived at the camp, lunch was out. It was exactly what you’d want as a child, cold cut sandwiches, potato chips and that nondescript red juice that no one really knows the flavor. As soon as the afternoon bell rang, everyone flowed out onto the grounds to climb, canoe, shoot hoops, swing on the giant swing, feed goats and just enjoy a beautiful Washington Saturday.

Once the afternoon’s activities

I’m Angie Harris and I’m a wedding photographer serving Kansas City and mid-Missouri. I’ve been photographing weddings since 2013. I enjoy photographing weddings because I love the excitement of the day, and I love seeing the unique touches in each wedding that I photograph. From the bride’s dress, to the colors of the wedding, the flowers and decoration, to all the small details of the day, I love photographing all of it!

I chose to show some images from the Sciole's October wedding. Their outdoor wedding took place at Shawnee Mission Park in Kansas. This park offered plenty of beautiful scenery for their wedding photos, including a lake, some pretty fall foliage, and a look out tower.

I think my favorite detail of this wedding was the bride’s autumn-inspired bouquet. Also, her dress was so beautiful and she had a really long veil that we took full advantage of in the photographs! While our Midwest weather is often unpredictable, we were so lucky to have a wonderful fall day for their
