Nikki and Nate got married on the Californian coast in winter, dressed entirely in black. Their inspiration was creating something intimate, alternative, moody, and a little bit boho with a dramatic, non-traditional twist. "We were inspired by the beauty of the coastline, earthy textures, and darker romantic tones", Nikki said. "We wanted the day to feel intimate, atmospheric, and authentically ‘us’ and a touch of edge that reflected our personalities."

Dalton and Tanieka had originally planned for a big wedding. But when costs started to spiral and what they started to feel out of touch with what they were putting together, it was time for a rethink. They instead planned something much more intimate and much more them, built around places that already carried the atmosphere they wanted. The Hoh Rainforest and Ruby Beach in Olympic National Park, WA were the perfect spots. With moss hanging from trees and fog moving over the ocean, it was the perfect setting for their moody, gloomy 'til death' themed day.

Marie and Doug wanted a wedding that made sense for their lives, not one that fit into anyone else’s idea of what a wedding should look like. They both have ADHD and found the process of planning a wedding overwhelming, so instead of trying to fit themselves into a mould that didn’t work, they built a day entirely around their needs, energy levels and comfort.

Krystian and Julia threw a wedding their guests never saw coming. They invited everyone to what was billed as an engagement party, but instead of speeches and finger food, the crowd got a real wedding ceremony! Their biggest challenge was keeping it all a secret, especially since Julia admitted she’s an “oversharer” and still managed to only spill the news to two more people than planned!

t's not often you see gothic inspired weddings on white sand beaches, but that's exactly what felt right for Koleen and Tay.

Tying the knot the day before Halloween, right in the middle of Día de Muertos celebrations, it was the perfect setting for them.
