You know that kid-in-a-candy-store kind of excitement? The kind that makes you squirm in your shoes, makes you jump up & down, maybe even scream & shout? The kind that makes you completely oblivious that you might be embarrassing yourself a tad? That is how we feel when we are photographing weddings like this. Truly, we squirm and shout and get excited with every single wedding we are privileged enough to photograph. But of course, there are certain styles that we feel mesh with us like there’s no tomorrow! Let us preface this by elaborating on why these weddings make us tick: our style is very organic. We love wine and everything vineyard-related. We love gnarly trees and overgrown fields. Perfection is great and all, but life isn’t perfect. We embrace those natural imperfections and love quirky inspiration-driven DIY touches in weddings, and in life. Butch may not follow these wedding blogs, but I feel like we identify best with the wedding chicks and green wedding shoes. {brides-to-be, if this is resonating with you and you haven’t drooled over these websites yet, brace yourself… you’re in for a real treat!!} Personality-infused weddings are truly all about taking an unpolished, raw space and create the environment you want for your reception. Traditions are being created, concepts are being molded & reinvented like play-doh, and we think everyone appreciates and enjoys creativity and branding within one’s wedding day! Simply put, we like brides and grooms who make their wedding day their own!
What is there not to love about patterns and a modern twist on the traditional grooms tux/suit? lovelovelove this b&g’s vintage feel:
Ceremony programs: several couples have had fun with working DIY papers and textures into their programs! not only are these visually interesting to the guest, they photograph so well!
Signage. Branding. Personality. This groom was an avid biker, and the ride that was accented by this wedding sign was part of his collection!
Bridal party photos: all we need is a fun location – textured wall, weathered barn, overgrown field, grungy bridge, you name it! After getting a few more classic bridal party shots, we like to play and have fun like with this group below.
Our favorite time of the day to photograph b&g’s is during the evening when the light is low and “golden” – we are always so excited when couples let us steal them away for a few romantic portraits after dinner! The below was captured just before sunset <3
Reception time! Chalk boards & appetizers representative of your favorite snacks {cheese… in Wisconsin… how perfect!}
Why not personalize your favors while you’re at it? Below is a coffee-loving B&G’s favorite blend of beans!
More B&G portraits ~ overgrown weeds & a gnarly tree… this.is.our.heaven :)
So there you have it… these are a few of our favorite wedding day finishes! We’re giddy. We’re passionate. And we can’t wait to document your personality-infused day :)
