As promised, a sweet as can be film by Hawleywood Films that will have you falling head over heels for this adorable duo. They are just too cute for words. Enjoy!
From Jana Marie Photography… My favorite part was coordinating with the groom, for us to hand him one of our cameras right before his bride walked down the aisle, so that he could snap a photo of the first moment he saw her, so that he could remember that moment for the rest of his life! SO romantic! It was a surprise to her.
From the Bride… Our vision for the wedding was to create a setting that was very relaxing for our guests to ensure everyone (including us) would have a great time. We fell in love with The Berg Event Space as soon as we laid our eyes on it because it was the idealistic space for what we wanted and what we knew we did NOT want. The space and our vision aligned perfectly. Vintage yet contemporary. Simple. Casual. Urban. Loft. Romantic. Creative. Historic. Rustic. Memories.
We wanted to incorporate as much of the natural feel of the space into our wedding as possible. At an urban loft location like The Berg, this was extremely easy. Exposed brick, hardwood floors and stainless steel accents tied in beautifully to the feel we desired. The space helped us select our colors of apple green, coral, ivory, and khaki. This theme was infused through everything including the flowers, the dress, the suit, the centerpieces, the attendants gifts, etc. We also tried to delicately place things that were very personal to ourselves throughout the wedding. The attendants gifts, for example, were filled with one of our favorite candies, Mike and Ike. Leah carried orchids, which Nick’s grandparents raised for almost 40 years in their multiple greenhouses at their house.
One project that we created actually came from the Martha Stewart website. I found it while looking for DIY details for our wedding. It was a dahlia tissue paper flower. This website gave the idea of giving them out as wedding favors and putting a dahlia flower bulb in the middle of the tissue paper flower. I knew that I wanted to make these flowers and put them on the tables to accent our centerpieces, but I wasn’t sure what I wanted to put inside. We chose to put the candy Mike & Ike in the attendants’ gifts instead. Nick and I both have a sweet tooth and that is his favorite candy. We also thought it would hold up the best with a summer wedding and all.
I knew I wanted some kind of detail in our space to make it more unique, I just didn’t know exactly what it was that I was looking for. Our neighbor, Becky, is very crafty and creates beautiful handmade cards all the time. I had seen banners on all of the DIY sites and knew that simple little detail would add so much to the space. I enlisted Becky to create these banners for us so that we could work on other things. I told her what I was looking for and what I wanted the banners to say and she put them together for us. I liked how each banner added a piece of uniqueness to the wedding and broke up the space.

Love the shot of the bride putting her earring in. Great moment! :)
Beautiful images Jana! LOVE her rings, her visible joy, and all the beautiful details!
I....am.....so....thrilled to have this stunning couple represent my brand on Style Me Pretty! I simply adore these two... and thank you guys so much for all your words of encouragement and comments.
@Wedding Invitation Boutique... it was their thank you card. {wink} Very creative!
Nick and Leah, you guys were amazing to work with. I hope your friends and family continue to cherish the video and pictures Jana and I shot for you. Congrats!
Matt & Jana: You guys are amazing. Two of the best people we know and an absolute dream to work with. Your work is stunning and your presence is even more amazing. You exceeded our expectations by leaps and bounds and we are eternally grateful. I dream of the day I share these photos and videos with our great-grandchildren. You told our story with perfection and I'm glad the world gets to share in your awesomeness.
Thanks all for the great comments!
@Green Eyes Knits: check out http://www.tungstenaffinity.com/ I love my ring! I wanted something different and couldn't be happier!
@Wedding Invitation Boutique: they're...cough...coral...cough. JK. :)
beautiful!
coral is one of our wedding colors as well:) LOVE the men's tie... could you tell me where you found it?!
thanks:)
@Sarah: Yes! Here is a link to the exact coral tie I wore: http://www.thetiebar.com/order_page.asp?pn=31262&orderPageReturn=%2Fsearch.asp%3Ftarget%3Dcoral%26fr%3D11%26searchType%3D
Here is a link to the groomsmen's tie: http://www.thetiebar.com/order_page.asp?pn=35008&orderPageReturn=%2Fsearch.asp%3Ftarget%3Dapple%26fr%3D21%26searchType%3D
if you search thetiebar.com for "coral" or "apple," they have lots of patterns in both colors. And, not too expensive! Even got a boy's one for the ring bearer!
I love these photos. I love how natural and unrehearsed they look. I wish you guys were around way back when I got married, they look much better than my photographs!
Here is the link to the wedding day highlights video. Again, Nick and Leah were awesome to work for and they really did a great job putting that whole day together. It makes my job so much easier when this kind of preparation has gone into the event.
