Most of their guests arrived early, so Caitlin (she/her) and Melissa (she/her) started their wedding weekend with a casual breakfast, final setup, and people disappearing into creek tubing, hikes, and swims long before the ceremony kicked off.

They didn’t rush. About ninety minutes before the ceremony, they split off to get ready with their chosen people around them and then came back together for a simple exchange of vows. After that, everything flowed - no rigid schedule, just good food from Mexican on the Run, laughter, dancing, and speeches that landed in all the right places.

The first dance turned into parent dances and then a packed dance floor thanks to DJ Rosie Hicks. When the party slowed down, folks gathered around the fire for a set from a friend who had passed away, and that quiet winding-down felt just as important as all the high-energy moments earlier in the day.

Their weekend was a DIY project in the best way: chaotic spreadsheets, friends pitching in, and a celebration that didn’t stop because the clock said it had to. It felt like chosen family, creek water, tacos, glitter, and the woods altogether - exactly how they imagined it.

Monyca (she/they) and Maria (she/her) got married on a dock at Lake Atitlán, in a place that already held years of their life inside it. Monyca had spent time working at Isla Verde Atitlan, so the setting wasn’t something new they discovered for the wedding - it was somewhere they already belonged.

Guests gathered in a circle around them, close enough to feel part of the moment rather than watching it from a distance. Ferns and greenery were woven through the space, and the lake sat still behind them while they exchanged vows.

When the ceremony finished, everyone moved together to dinner in the bamboo pavilion. Long tables, local flowers, candlelight, and no pressure to rush anywhere. Conversations stretched out, drinks kept coming, and the night unfolded the way good gatherings do when no one is in a hurry.

Later, with music playing and most of their friends on the dance floor, Monyca and Maria slipped back onto the dock for a quiet moment together. Fireworks went off over the water, and then they walked back into the celebration 🌈

They got married somewhere that already mattered to them, surrounded by the people who made that place feel like home. And, we've got all the details up over on the blog for you to lust over.

Danielle (she/her) and Deanne (she/her) didn’t set out to elope ... they were planning a wedding with everyone they loved. But, something about the idea of being in the spotlight just didn’t feel like them.

When Danni suggested eloping at Mount Cootha Reserve in Brisbane, it didn’t feel like retreating - it felt like choosing authenticity.

They spent the morning together at home, sipping coffee and making wildflower bouquets, and then met at their ceremony spot to Hold Me by the Teskey Brothers. It was just the two of them, full of laughs, tears, and a handful of moments that felt sacred and simple all at once.

Family was woven into the day in a way that mattered - each person they loved recorded a line of a poem that was turned into an audio reading for the ceremony 🌹

After their vows, they walked home to share cake with their three dogs - Chase, Jesse, and Einstein - and then took photos around the place that means so much to them.

There was a bo***ir session in the middle of the day as a way to capture intimacy they’ll look back on as the years go by.

By night they swapped heels for boots and ended the day dancing at a Paramore gig - because it’s always been their soundtrack.

A few hours later they were on a flight to India, voices hoarse, hearts full, and officially wives 💍

We've got the full story for you, its up over on the blog.

Mads (she/her) and Claire (she/her) weren’t planning anything grand when they started dating - just a first date at Lady of the Grapes in Covent Garden, two weeks and six more dates later, and suddenly they were locked into lockdown together thinking it’d only be a fortnight.

Instead, they spent that time cooking, walking, and accidentally falling in love ... long enough to know they wanted a life together.

When it came time to plan their wedding, they knew they didn’t want something staged or formal - just a day that felt like them, where they could actually enjoy the company of everyone who mattered.

Three Mile Beach in Cornwall fit that perfectly - ocean views, laid-back energy, and a team who showed up like friends.

They made a lot of it themselves; a seating chart out of an old bodyboard, candle-dyeing nights, and handwritten letters for every single guest. They wrote vows that couldn’t keep anyone dry-eyed, one of them wrote a song and the other wrote a recipe book.

There was hail, indoor ceremonies, stolen wind-swept photos on the beach, laughs over golden hour drinks, and yes, a last-song Wonderwall singalong that will live in memory forever ❤️

Argerie and Taylor met at a friend’s wedding in Miami - which already feels like fate doing its thing. What started with dinner and dancing turned into years of long-distance FaceTime dates, cross-country visits, and slowly building a life together between Providence and New Orleans.

By the time they planned their own wedding at The Columns, they knew exactly what they wanted: a day that felt meaningful, not performative. A place that already held memories from an early date. A ceremony that honoured their families and the life they’d built before rings and vows entered the picture.

One of the moments we can’t stop thinking about is how they walked down the aisle. Taylor with both parents. Argerie with their son. It was quiet and powerful and said so much about what this marriage hold - past, present, and future all at once.

They skipped anything that didn’t feel like them, leaned into what did, and even had a safe word for wedding planning when things got overwhelming (which feels like a life skill, honestly). No pressure to follow tradition. Just intention, love, and a room full of people who knew exactly why they were there.

This was a wedding that felt calm and grounded and full of joy in a way that can’t be styled or staged. The kind of day that reminds us why telling q***r love stories matters in the first place ❤️

Jenna (she/her) and McKenna (she/her) really turned a peak-pandemic Hinge match into a six-hour FaceTime first date, and honestly? The rest was history.

Since McKenna is a wedding planner by trade, the level of intentionality at their Mosaic Minneapolis wedding was absolutely next level.

They spent the day before the wedding sitting across from each other hand-writing their vows, which is just the most grounded, sweet way to prep for a walk down the aisle.

It’s the perfect mix of high-style and totally raw, real emotion. And, we've got *all* the details for you up in the blog ❤️

Most people leave an open house with a brochure and a few measurements, but Chiao-Yu (she/her) and Wen (she/they) left with a soulmate. Obsessed with the fact that these two are self-described "logical people" ended up making the most beautifully illogical decision to move in together basically right after meeting.

Their day at Mavericks House was the perfect mix of that practical side and total romance. They skipped the big traditional videographer for a content creator and kept the guest list tight, which made the whole vibe at Half Moon Bay feel so effortless and intimate.

The full story of how they turned a house-hunting appointment into a marriage is on the blog for you.

Jess (she/her) always knew she was born to be a mum, and when Lauren (she/her) met her, she knew she wanted to make that happen. After four rounds of IVF (Jess' lucky number!), they are welcoming their daughter into the world.

But let’s talk about the reality of pregnancy for a second. While Lauren is in awe of watching Jess grow a human, she admits the biggest surprise was the "pillow takeover." Apparently, one pregnant wife requires all the space in a king-size bed (buy the second bed early, folks!).

Their advice? "Don't be afraid to do it.".

They are so ready for the newborn crunches and the cozy chaos. And, you can read their full journey to motherhood on the blog.

Sash is the filmmaker behind Melbourne Wedding Videographer, and her whole thing is refusing to let your wedding day look like a stock cologne ad.

There's no forced walk-toward-camera moment. No "just act natural" while you very much do not feel natural. Just belly laughs, teary hugs, spontaneous dance moves, and whatever unhinged joy is actually happening in the room ❤️

They're based in Melbourne, but honestly she'll go wherever the love takes her.

Her favorite thing to film? Right after you sign the certificate, when the witnesses step away for their turn and it's suddenly just the two of you, married, for the very first time. No script, no direction, just the two of you catching your breath together. That's the good stuff!

"Inclusivity isn't just a checkbox we tick, it's a core part of how I approach filmmaking, connection, and life," she told us, and honestly, we felt that.

Sash works with couples of every identity, background, body, and love story, and it shows in the way she talks about her job. Not as a service she provides, but as trust she's been handed for one day and takes seriously.

Hinge changed Shane's location while she was visiting New York City, and that glitch led to this love story 💫221

One week together in Philadelphia was all it took to know they were in trouble. Not long after, Kathryn flew to Montana to meet Berkie, Shane's dog, for the all-important sniff of approval. He gave it immediately.

Shane knew she wanted to propose somewhere beautiful in the Montana mountains, but Kathryn had one very specific instruction: absolutely not during a hike (because of sausage fingers). So they planned a camping trip instead.

The day started with a hike to an alpine lake in the Crazy Mountains, wild berries as trail snacks along the way. Back at camp, they read, relaxed, and did nothing in particular, the kind of day where everything just feels easy. After dinner came a small campfire and roasted marshmallows.

Later that night, Kathryn mentioned offhand that the ring she knew Shane had would look perfect with her dress for an upcoming family wedding. Shane knew right then it was happening. Once they were cozy inside the camper, she pulled out the ring and asked the question ❤️

Kathryn said yes. Berkie was shown the ring immediately afterward and could not have cared less, far more interested in going back to sleep.

A week later, Kathryn proposed to Shane at home with a homemade scavenger hunt. Icing on the cake.

This ones just gone up over on the blog to lust over - we also spot a very special Custom Philadelphia Jeweler ring in there 👀👀
