Grace and Kris planned an intimate, casual, 60 person wedding. They told me they aren't traditional wedding people, but they decided the most important part for them was to celebrate with their loved ones. They wanted the celebration to be people-focused, and it was important for their wedding photos to reflect that intention. Grace's dad married them in his church's courtyard, then everyone moved inside to the church hall for dinner and dancing. The inspiration for their wedding design was "retro/nostalgic feel of receptions in the 1940s-50s with lots of kitschy decor, tinsel, hearts, etc!" Their intention for their photos was to feel very personal and celebratory- focusing on the dinner and party aspect the most and leaving out a lot of the traditional elements (bridal party, white dress, first dances, etc).
Thank you so much, Grace and Kris, for your trust and warmth. <3
