Part 1.

Melanie + Aaron gave me too much to work with! Every part of their wedding was exactly the kind of do-it-yourself style I love. They are photographers themselves, (check out their site here) plus incredibly creative, wonderful human beings. And they have such a great love for each other.

I didn’t want to miss showing you how amazing all the details were from start to finish. Especially since so much love went into making everything either by Melanie + Aaron or their friends and family. You might want to stretch your hands because you’re going to be scrolling down a long time…

Bow Ties!





Emotional first look (for all of us.)




Love this, love them!











All kinds different glass bottles Melanie collected from thrift stores, etc.



Tons of quotes displayed all around adorably.

This is my favorite of course! Vintage cameras. I like them with the flowers.



Best Friends Forever.


Melanie made this with fabric. Look at the way the light shines through! Perfection.
