Jason & Merry // Castle Green wedding photographer

Our wedding day went by very fast, but we both definitely felt the love from not only one another, but everyone who shared our day with us! Even though we were both nervous to have the spot light and focus on us (silly bc it was our wedding day), it was very special to share our big day with all of our loved ones.

WHAT WAS THE MOST MEMORABLE/FAVORITE PART ABOUT YOUR WEDDING DAY? // The ceremony when we officially became husband and wife. It was extra special since Merry’s older brother Arthur officiated the wedding.

WHY WAS PHOTOGRAPHY IMPORTANT TO YOU? // Photography was important to us because it captured the raw and memorable moments of the day, which we will be able to relive and cherish for years to come! We chose Sun & Sparrow because we loved their positivity, charisma, and professionalism. Tiffani & Ellie made us feel so comfortable when taking our photos and also showed they really cared to capture the best moments for our photos.

DID YOU DO ANY DIY PROJECTS? // With help of friends, cake topper, printed guest name cards, table numbers.

WHAT WAS YOUR SOMETHING OLD // (Hair piece given as previous bridesmaid gift), NEW // (diamond earrings and necklace from Jason’s parents), BORROWED // (ring pillow), BLUE // (bow on garter belt)

DO YOU HAVE ANY ADVICE FOR BRIDES WHO ARE CURRENTLY IN THE PLANNING PROCESS? // My best advice is to prioritize what’s important to you and your future spouse, compromise, and try not to sweat the little stuff! Then, enjoy! Because at the end of the day, the most important part of getting married is having a partner for life!

PLEASE COMMENT BELOW AND TELL JASON & MERRY HOW MUCH YOU LOVE THEM!

Miles & Rini // Rustic Styled engagement

FROM THE BRIDE //

Miles and I knew very early on in our relationship that we had a future together. From the first time that I saw him in 2011, I knew I had to be with him. Turned out that he felt the same (!!!!), and we were inseparable from the start. We never stopped having fun together and simply couldn’t get enough of each other. Everyone always says that when you know, you know. As simple and silly as that phrase may sound, it was entirely true for me. With Miles, I just knew. We talked about marriage regularly and looked forward to the time when our finances would allow us to take the next step as a couple. Luckily for us, everything fell into place much sooner than expected. We began the process of having our rings customized by a jeweler that I had been admiring. I had a general idea of when they might be ready, but it was up to Miles to decide when he wanted to propose to me. (This is where I started to get really excited, because I LOVE surprises!)

In the middle of October 2013, we went camping at Vail Lake with around 30 close friends and family members. While we were there, Miles and I went wine tasting at a nearby vineyard with my parents. I had never been to a tasting before, so I was already really excited about the day. It was absolutely beautiful there, and we spent a while admiring the scenery before getting started on the tasting (which was delicious!). After gaining a little liquid courage, Miles walked us back outside to “take a picture” in front of the rolling vineyards. My parents were nearby with their cameras ready. I turned away to set my purse down and cracked a lame joke about what a perfect place this would have been for a proposal. Miles laughed and said, “Oh yeah? You mean like this?” When I turned back around, he was down on one knee with a gorgeous ring! I instantly began to cry and said “Yes!” as soon as I was able to compose myself. My parents were able to capture the proposal and the few precious moments afterward in photos. We spent the rest of the day drinking wine and celebrating back at the campsite with family and friends. It could not have been a more perfect day! Now I spend most of my time basking in the fact that I get to marry the most incredible man I have ever met.

Reina,
I am in absolutely awe scrolling through these beautiful pictures. I am unable to find the words to explain how happy that I am for you & Miles as you two start this amazing, precious journey together. I have known you for a very long time and unfortunately we grew apart as the years went by, which seems impossible as seeing how close we were years ago. After all, your house was my second home.

I am so very proud of you and all your accomplishments thus far and I know you will have many more to celebrate and to be proud of. You’ve turned into a beautiful woman & I am proud to have been able to call you my friend.

Congratulations my friend.

With love,
ChristinaReplyCancel

Thomas & Jennifer // Calamigos Ranch engagement photographer

FROM THE BRIDE //

Thomas and I started off as roommates. The first day we met, there was a great level of comfort that we both instantly felt; as if we had already known each other for years. During the first year of us living together, we got to know one another very well; each other’s routines, interests, likes, dislikes, and of course, bad habits. There was definitely a strong and genuine friendship that had developed. At that time, it was nothing more; I was dating someone else and Thomas was beyond content with the bachelor-life.

It was at the tail-end of our first year of living together that things took a turn. One night, after coming home from Christmas shopping, Thomas asked if we could talk. He looked nervous; as his arms were crossed, his hands started to shake. I was a bit concerned. It was then that he asked me the one question that I never thought he would ask; “How would you feel about going on a date with me?” It was completely unexpected. It took me a little while to realize what had just happened. I eventually came to find out that Thomas discovered his feelings towards me during a boy’s surfing trip to Costa Rica. “I was thinking of you and I missed you,” he said. (Admittedly– there was always a part of me that would think about our compatibility.) Three years later (December 2014), he proposed on Christmas day; just around the time that he first asked me out on a first date. As anyone would imagine, it was a Christmas that I will always cherish.

Scott & Candace // Apple Creek Ranch Rustic Wedding Photographer

WHAT WAS THE INSPIRATION BEHIND YOUR WEDDING? // Chic, Cozy and a vintage feel. We also really wanted an intimate wedding. The people closest to us!

WHAT WAS THE MOST MEMORABLE/FAVORITE PART ABOUT YOUR WEDDING DAY? // We both agree- THE CEREMONY! For me it felt like time stood still for Scott and I. I remember be so wrapped up into him, I truly didn’t notice anyone else! For Him- He loved the very first part of my vows. “I absolutely Love you”. I delivered it with a laughter and warmth and he says he knew It was the most organic thing I have ever said to him.

WHY WAS PHOTOGRAPHY IMPORTANT TO YOU? // For me Capturing this moment in a way that told a story was super important. I have also seen the same wedding photos over and over so I wanted something truly artistic. Scott felt the same way. He is actually a pretty great photographer himself (he dabbled in photography in college).

WHY DID YOU CHOOSE SUN & SPARROW? // Sun and Sparrow captured me with their magical photography and sincere hearts!

DID YOU DO ANY DIY PROJECTS? IF SO, WHAT? // Yes, I made all of my chalkboards, bridesmaids gifts and collected all of my own glassware. I purchased some Vintage pieces but also used a lot of recycled glass from my work and home.

WHAT WAS YOUR SOMETHING OLD, NEW, BORROWED, BLUE? // OLD– My Pearl Earrings I got from my Bridesmaid Brooke’s Wedding this Summer. It was my Bridesmaids Gift and I loved wearing them on my wedding day and I also rocked a sparkle jacket I wore on our first NYE in LA. NEW– My Dress, Veil and after party outfit. BORROWED– My Nana’s Gloves she wore on her wedding day and I Headband I got from a friend. BLUE– I wore Blue panties and blue heels! Haha =)

DO YOU HAVE ANY ADVICE FOR BRIDES WHO ARE CURRENTLY IN THE PLANNING PROCESS? // A TON- but really everyone has their own journey. There were things I would say don’t spend your money on but those things might be important to someone else. So ROCK your wedding! Ok, One thing- DONT RENT THOSE HORRIBLE Tux’s – It was cheaper to buy and tailor a suit then to rent a tux or suit that didn’t really fit. Brides always have top pick when it comes to their big day and so should your man. Let him wear what he feels sexy in!

WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE PART OF BEING MARRIED NOW? // Being Married and he Sex. =) Maybe TMI but its the truth.

Big thanks to CLAUDIA NAVARETTE for second shooting & White Orchid Productions for coordinating! //

VENDORS // Apple Creek Ranch- AMAZING Location, Great Staff..

I also bought my belt, MOH Gift and Glassware on Etsy.
