THE PERFECT LAST "FRAME"

After they rocked the school house, their "disco dash" rolled them straight into the local bowling alley—equal parts small-town charm, vintage kitsch, and entirely intentional genius. Lane lights, laughter, and a little built-in nostalgia made it feel like exactly the kind of celebration they set out to create: playful, personal, and precisely the them.

​

We leaned into every bit of it—cherry-on-top milkshake inspired disco ball center pieces,  vintage records as chargers—turning kitsch into concept and laid-back into something fully, beautifully intentional.

SOMEWHERE BETWEEN VEGAS AND NOWHERE

  • Hardbound & Candlelit
     

  • A Reception, Right Up Their Alley
     

While scouting venues during planning, this little dream car pulled in front of us—and in true elopement magic fashion, we waved them over, asked if they’d be the getaway car, and the rest is history!

LOVE STORIES

Hundreds of books were painted white and stacked into sculptural columns—part ceremony decor, part quiet nod to their love of reading part homage to the school house.

 

Layered with candles and color, they brought the whole space together: scholastic, romantic, and just the right amount of wonderfully unexpected.

We didn’t just have the honor of photographing this wedding—we planned it from the ground up, with one very specific brief: make it so kitschy and traditional it somehow became untraditional. A playful nod to 1960s Vegas chapel elopements, re-imagined in the middle of nowhere Colorado mountains.

 

We chanced upon an old schoolhouse which became the perfect pseudo-chapel—humble, nostalgic, and exactly perfect

 

From there, the celebration rolled into the local bowling alley, also complete with an old-school diner, complete with a black-and-white checkered floors, red vinyl booths, and the kind of built-in nostalgia we were dreaming of.

 

​

Part "stained glass", part mid-century daydream—the ceremony installation brought two unlikely references into one unexpectedly perfect focal point.

 

Chapel-coded, design-forward, and completely at home in an old schoolhouse.
