Jordyn and Bradley III

We picked up all of our flowers at the local wholesale florist and arranged all of the table settings, aisle decorations, corsages, and bridesmaid bouquets at the absolute last minute before getting ourselves ready for the ceremony. It was crazy but we pulled it off with the help of our wonderful wedding party and family. Every mason jar, vase, planter, bucket, radio, handkerchief, button, spool, etc. was either borrowed from a family member or found at local antique stores.

Bradley found two cute little pinecone birds at our wedding site’s gift shop, and I took them an added the feathers, tulle, and felt to create of little cake topper.

I’m such a fan of night photography. I love the way Tec Petaja captured the couple after dark.

Tec really does an amazing job of capturing every little moment & detail.

C- we collected most vintage hankies from family or local antique stores, but eBay is a great source to find these little pretties! You can order large lots for a low price!

yes the black and white is dramatic. It also helps to have a cute couple.

If the bride is reading this, would you be able to tell me the name of the store where you purchased the pine cone birds? Perhaps I could call and have them ship them to me. I am getting married in January and they would fit in perfectly with our theme. They are just what I have been looking for! Your wedding was simply stunning :)
