Tiffany and Kyle’s Destination Wedding Album

Tuesday, July 31, 2012

Today we wanted to share with you Tiffany and Kyle’s wedding album design! You may remember from their wedding blog post, they had a gorgeous destination wedding at the Iberostar Rose Hall Beach Hotel in Montego Bay, Jamaica. Tiffany got some amazing pictures from her Trash the Dress session as she rode a horse bareback through the water in her wedding dress. I absolutely love that most of our couple choose to get wedding albums. We live in a digital age where a majority of the pictures we see are through facebook, emails, and websites. Don’t get me wrong, I love all those things (especially blogs), but there’s something special about holding the pictures in your hands. I remember as a kid, sitting on the couch with a big photo album in my lap as my parents pointed out all the friends and family who were at their wedding. Now Tiffany and Kyle have a beautiful wedding album that will hold their memories for years to come. Maybe one day they will be showing a little kid of their own what an amazing time they had at their beach wedding in Jamaica!

Matt and Eszti’s Destination Wedding – Part 2

Thursday, April 12, 2012

When looking through Matt and Eszti’s wedding pictures, I get such a sense of joy. I can’t help but smile when I see them together, especially in the cake pictures! They obviously have so much fun together and are just really excited to be married! Matt is a photographer as well and was keen in collaborating with Aaron to create some really unique night pictures. From their gleeful smiles in the Playland to their kisses under the umbrella, this night was definitely a memorable one!

Although this is part two of their destination wedding blog post, this is actually part one of Matt and Eszti’s wedding. This wedding was planned to celebrate with Matt’s close family and friends. Since Eszti is Hungarian and has many friends and family back in Hungary, they are planning to return to Eszti’s hometown of Budapest for their European wedding celebration and we are so excited to be a part of that as well and to be able to show you more of this great couple to come!

How sneaky! While Matt & Eszti sneaked a kiss, Matt’s nephew and brother-in-law sneaked some tokens!

DIY Destination Wedding Planned in One Week!

Wedding Photography in Charlottesville VA

Matt and Eszti first met in New York City at a 30 Seconds to Mars recording for MTV’s Unplugged. It was an exciting beginning to what would become a fun, spontaneous relationship. Aaron has known Matt for the past five years and counts him as a close friend, so when Matt told him about their travels to NY, DC, and Vegas within their first few months of dating, Aaron knew Matt had found someone as adventurous as himself!

Their wedding in Ocean City, Maryland perfectly exemplified their personalities and holds a place close to Matt’s heart as, growing up, it was a common vacation spot for him and his family. Planned in one week, they were very resourceful and creative with their destination wedding plans and DIY crafts including handmade bouquets by the bride and her little helpers (Matt’s nieces). Everybody pitched in to help make it a special day. The ceremony was intimate, with some of their closest family and friends gathered near the water to witness their marriage. Good friend and amazing guitarist, Keith Thompson, paid tribute to their beginnings with, “Closer to the Edge”, a 30 Seconds to Mars song for their processional. Following the ceremony, they had fun creating beautiful portraits on the beach, the boardwalk, and the carnival. Aaron suggested that they use a kite for their beach pictures so they got a heart-shaped kite that worked out beautifully! The fun continued as they all headed into the night to enjoy the sights and activities of the city. There are many more pictures to come of the time they spent in the Play Zone and some of my personal favorites, night portraits of Matt and Eszti, so be sure to check back soon!
