1800s inspired wedding

This dreamy styled shoot from the recent Three Nails Photography workshop draws inspiration from the 1800′s era, with authentic vintage attire + props, like the bride’s lovely jacket, the groom’s awesome top hat + the 120-year-old farm chairs surrounding the reception table. This shoot shares so many great ideas for couples wanting a charming, vintage-inspired wedding. And wait until you see the insanely rad old barn wood wagon built by Hunter of Three Nails!

Three Nails’ concept was to really “follow” a couple; from the moment he saw her on her farm to their run-away wedding. You can watch the story unfold in this fun video from Psycle Films:

Rustic Colorado Ranch Wedding: Jessica + Zach

devils thumb ranch

I hope you lovelies had an amazing weekend! We’re starting the week off with a cozy Colorado ranch wedding captured by the super talented Phil Chester! The location for this wedding is pretty special; after an unplanned visit during their one year anniversary trip and discovering a unique tie to Jessica’s childhood, Jessica + Zach both knew they would someday be married at Devil’s Thumb Ranch. With the venue’s towering pines, expansive meadows and a gorgeous barn, I think they made a great decision! :)  A bit more of the story from Zach:

During our anniversary trip we stayed at a bed and breakfast just down the road from Devil’s Thumb Ranch. We stumbled onto the ranch when we were looking for a place to hike that weekend, and we immediately fell in love with it. We went to dinner there that night and, even though we weren’t engaged, we decided at that moment that we would get married there. Jessica had a weird deja vu sensation at the ranch, and it wasn’t until after we had left that she realized that as a little girl her parents would take her there for nordic skiing. At that time it was a small one room building. We both love the mountains and Colorado, so an elegant, rustic, mountain wedding in a barn was just what we were looking for.

Our vows definitely! We both wrote our own...we were both super nervous... but, when we started to say them to each other, it was kind of an out of body experience. Those few minutes of words were the reason we had been planning for the entire past year!

Plan early; choose things that represent who you are as a couple; choose a few areas you want to "go big" on because they mean the most to you, then budget on the rest; stay organized and have fun!

Get the Look: Poppy Red + Coral

We love the color combo of Poppy Red + Coral from the pretty inspiration shoot we shared yesterday, so we looked around to find some great picks in case you wanted to use it as inspiration for your day. And how pretty are those cap sleeves on that Reem Acra gown below? Just love that dress and pairs perfect with your maids in shades of coral + poppy red.
