Oooo-la and la!!! This wedding is absolutely wonderful – from the decor (yay records), to the couple’s style, to the carefree and love-filled day! I can’t wipe the smile off my face while scrolling through these images, and I hope you enjoy this sweet celebration of love!! Also, the music for the day was absolutely perfect and such a musical representation of their day! The lovebirds are in a band called Tape Waves and are avid vinyl collectors, so a musical theme definitely surfaced in their wedding!

Their photo booth backdrop was made of vintage 45’s strung together with fishing line. And instead of a traditional guestbook, they had guests sign records so Kim and Jarod could frame them and enjoy them in a unique way. Finally, the wedding favors were mix cds with a custom couple portrait stamped on the front. The wedding mix cd was as followed:

1. beach house – wedding bell (processional)
2. real estate – it’s real (recessional)
3. seapony – i really do
4. yo la tengo – stupid things
5. bright eyes – first day of my life
6. nada surf – i like what you say
7. beach house – take care
8. seapony – dreaming
9. yo la tengo – today is the day
10. colleen green – number one
11. the beatles – i will
12. the queers – the sun always shines around you
13. rogue wave – eyes
14. yo la tengo – is that enough
15. best coast – when i’m with you
16. weezer – only in dreams

There’s not much sweeter than being serenaded by your soulmate, wouldn’t you agree? Anthony did just that to Kiana during their engagement session photos (awwww)! These two love birds opted for an adorable at-home session where they could truly be themselves and listen to some of their favorite albums while swoonin’ for the camera! A perfect blend of fun and romance – my favorite!

I’m a sucker for warehouse spaces (my record store and photography studio are located inside of an old textile mill that has been converted into an artist hub)…so when I saw this incredible space, I knew it took a cool couple to pick such a rad spot! Enter Audrey and Casey! These two lovebirds tied the knot and partied hard with their friends and family! I adore the pops of orange, the soothing teal, and the comfy TOMS that the bride so beautifully wore! Check out this awesome bunch and the playlist that kept the energy lively throughout the day!
