The couple met while working in live theatre so they brought their creative skills, eclectic tastes, and passion for art and music into their Pasadena wedding celebration. Miranda and Jon combined medieval and renaissance art, funk music, bubbles, giant gorillas and a lot of love. They encouraged guests to dress in "finery regardless of time period" and there was a delightfully anachronistic tone to the evening.

With the overall message of issue 67 being ' freedom', the desert felt like a natural starting point for the main editorial shoot. Our models were Sydney and Steven, a real couple who eloped in Vegas a few years ago and whose wedding we previously featured. Their familiarity with each other brought an ease and authenticity to the shoot that simply couldn’t have been manufactured. In fact, many of the accessories they wore were their own!

Ari and Bry designed their wedding with their people at the centre and everything else arranged around that. They chose the Allegheny Elks Lodge #339, a working-class Pittsburgh hall, as their location then added all their own décor to make it on-theme. “The theme was classic Pittsburgh hall wedding collides with Vegas kitsch and a hint of the Deer Hunter!” Ari told us. The result was a day that felt retro, in 80s Vegas chapel type way, meets a community party where everyone pitched in.

The bride initially didn't want to wear a white dress, but when she found one which was white, but with black lace accents, it just felt right. "We are elder emos and knew from the beginning that we wanted a rock festival theme,” she said.

They visited several beloved locally-owned Chinese-American businesses and Chinatown landmarks. Kaylee brought her own piece of family history to the session, wearing her grandmother's wedding dress and her mother's veil as a tribute to the women who came before her.

Sarah and Jordan did not want a big spectacle for their wadding. Instead, they opted for an intimate ceremony and meal with their closest family. That didn't mean they didn't care about the aesthetics though, in fact they were very visually driven, wanting deep opera reds, black accents, candlelight, and rich textures. They hired Britney of Be You Planning to help them bring their vision to life
