We think Megan and Bryan struck a perfect balance between fun and sentiment on their wedding day, and honestly, that’s no surprise given who these two are.  Both hold altruistic careers, using their talents to give back to the larger community on a daily basis. They are thoughtful, kind people and that came through in the choices they made in their wedding ceremony, from its location to their sentimental idea to seal letters to each other along with a special bottle of wine, in a box they nailed shut in front of all of their guests. It was evident that they’d put as much or more time and thought into the music and words that were shared at their ceremony as they did the flowers or the playlist for the band. And that thoughtfulness is something we can really get behind!

But these two also know how to have fun (their friends do too, as evidenced in the dance moves you will see!). They gave instruments to their guests and led everyone in a parade across UNC’s campus, past the Old Well, to their reception. They served D.C.’s frozen paletas: Pleasant Pops, and the bride danced in her Carolina blue high tops before guests “cheered” them out of Top of the Hill and onto Franklin Street. So yeah, they know how to strike a balance between reverence and party, and we think that’s quite cool!

M+B: we are honored that you included us in your special day, and thank you for reminding us to strike that balance! We know that when you open those letters on your 10th anniversary, you will have experienced tons of joy and fun-filled moments together. Thanks for letting us play a small part in that!

We got to know Annie & Gus (who live in LA) through candid email exchanges, a fun-filled Skype double date and over afternoon snacks at Fosters. You get to know them (a bit!) through the highlights film we’ve created of their wedding day. Annie & Gus completely personalized their wedding, and we aimed to carry their personality into their highlights film. We used the sweet song, “Married Life”, from UP because it’s one of Annie & Gus’ favorite films, and we felt it matched the sweet sentiment of the ceremony and the intimate moments before. The song has a storybook quality to it, which definitely fit the aesthetic of their day. One thing about Annie & Gus is that they’re not afraid to channel their inner child. A few fun things to look out for:

-The congratulatory poster that was actually signed by Miss Piggy & Kermit (!)

-Their muppet-inspired cake and the equally playful cupcakes.

-A fedora-donned entrance to the reception, compliments of Indiana Jones (Gus’ favorite movie). *Their first dance was to a song from Toy Story! 

-This couple is not shy in front of the camera. Check out the footage from their photo booth. Props to our new friends Brett & Jessica for enabling this craziness!

Annie & Gus, your wedding celebration was obviously a labor of love for the two of you. Thank you so much for trusting us to document it in a way that was true to you. We only wish LA were closer…

We love brunch + we love weddings, so we were pretty thrilled when Nina & Hong told us that is exactly what they were planning for their Cape Cod wedding this summer! With many miles between us, we “met” Nina & Hong though email and their engagement photos by my talented sis, Meredith. How cute are they, right? Nina’s sweet spirit came through in her emails and we used Google Video Chat to get to know them a bit before traveling up to Cape Cod for their big day!

I’d say theirs was the quintessential Cape Cod wedding: sailboats, blue skies, seagulls and sand. We love that the couple paid homage to their culture with a traditional tea ceremony on their wedding day and celebrated their crafty side with tons of DIY wedding details. But what we love most about Nina & Hong is their kind, appreciative demeanor. We love the thoughtful nature they both possess and it makes us confident they are perfect for one another. Congrats you two! We’re so happy you included us in your wedding celebration!
