let's do this
We can't get enough of these candid getting-ready photos of the bride and her crew. They gathered in this cozy room with deep wood floors and sage details that played perfectly into the wedding's color palette.
laidback chic with a hint of weed
This Upstate New York wedding was a perfect reflection of the couple's fun-loving and unique love story, celebrating their journey from an accidental email to a joyful and hilarious wedding day. The wedding album features candid shots of the couple sharing their first joint, their dog being the life of the party, the bride's European-inspired attire, and an epic first-look prank.
all the looks
This dress, where do we even start!? It's so effortlessly cool, just like the bride and as you notice every detail, it only makes you love it more, from the cold-shoulder moment to the double train. We also love how she paired it with a dramatic cathedral-length veil, because why not? For the reception, the bride added fingerless tulle gloves that read "to have and to hold" and "to love and to cherish" with her gown, then slipped into a studded mini and a white denim jacket that said, "Till death do us part". The groom had a cool factor all his own in a lightweight tan suit with a floral printed bow tie and pocket square. Even their dog had a bow tie for the occasion!
sometimes the "reply all guy" does get the girl
The couple's love story began with a hilarious mishap when the groom accidentally sent a reply-all email to hundreds of college students, earning him the nickname "The Reply All Guy". He actually ended up on the news for it! The bride's computer crashed due to the flood of emails, as everyone started doing the same thing. Fate intervened when the bride saw the groom at a club and attempted to act aloof but ended up falling head over heels in love.
a relaxed outdoor ceremony
The two exchanged vows under a pretty floral arbor, created by Little Anne's Flowers, in an intimate outdoor ceremony where guests looked on from mix-and-match vintage wooden chairs. Our favorite part of this lovely ceremony has to be the confetti exit–those always make for the best photos!
a chill reception
To entertain their guests, they had a sketch artist creating portraits for their guests on the spot which doubled as favors for later. Then, the couple and their guests sat down for a delicious meal at a long wood farm table decorated with subtle florals in bud vases sprinkled throughout.
got a light?
Quite possibly the best, and most unique update to the candy bar trend–meet the weed bar! Guests were supplied with three different varieties and could roll their own joint to enjoy with the couple.
