Jenna Nelson | January 12, 2017As more and more brides are trading in pastel and bold color palettes for neutral shades, we decided to take a step in the opposite direction and pursue a cover shoot that bordered on moody and melodramatic.

The Real Wedding of Caitlin and Eric Horsford
Carri Fras | December 28, 2016Caitlin met Eric six years ago working for a local grocery store. Eric was her manager in the bakery and, although they had feelings for each other, it took three long years before this came to light. Lucky for Eric, he decided to get in touch with Caitlin. “We both had a huge crush on each other but were too professional to let one another know," Caitlyn says. “He transferred stores and I moved to Florida. Out of the blue one day three years later, he messaged me on Facebook after seeing I was coming home to Indiana to spend the holidays with my family. He asked if we could hang out and that was it!”

The Wedding Story of Ashley and Daniel Regal
Joelle Bradfield | December 12, 2016Ashley and Daniel met through mutual friends and before too long, they knew they wanted to be in each other’s lives forever. Daniel proposed to Ashley on the beach, where they had fallen in love. Her friends were hiding in the bushes and all came out to celebrate with them afterwards. One thing about Ashley and Daniel is their friends are important to them. This factored into their wedding planning as well. “I knew that I wanted it to be an authentic representation of who we are and what we value,” says Ashley. “And of course, for our guests to have a great time.” And that they did! With their closest friends in the bridal party by their sides (one of them officiated!), and the wedding held at a tree house, their guests loved every second of it.
