A Dolce Real Wedding – Free Wedding Giveaway Highlight Reel / Part 2 of 2

As promised, here is the Highlight Reel of Samantha & Jason’s wedding day, which they won (free of charge) from Marry Me Group!   The skies were perfectly blue, the sun gloriously shining from dawn ’til dusk.  The  beautiful site and all the details sparkled gold from the radiance of it all!  The couple chose yellow and black as their colors and the effect was both dramatic and sophisticated.  I love how this video turned out – it’s fun and easy going, just like the couple.  Enjoy!

A Dolce Real Wedding: Behind-the-Scenes for Marry Me Group’s Free Wedding Giveaway / Part 1 of 2

Samantha & Jason were married the last weekend of August and the circumstances of their wedding day may have seemed quite regular on the surface: a beautiful setting, a happy couple, happy guests on the lawn and the sparkle that each wedding embodies.   But what will always set Samantha & Jason’s wedding apart from the majority of weddings is that they won their wedding.  Yep, you read that right!  Samantha & Jason won a free wedding through Marry Me Group, and EVERYTHING was free.  We were thrilled to participate by capturing their memories on film.  We thought it would be fun to show you the behind-the-scenes footage of just what it takes to put on a wedding.  You’ll see people sweating and out of breath, working with single-minded focus and determination….and we all do this every weekend!  Participating vendors are listed below.  Enjoy this fun little video and keep your eyes peeled for a highlight of the wedding itself, coming soon…

A Dolce Real Wedding: Sarah Jane & Sam

Labor Day weekend is always one of our busiest weekends of the year.   Why wouldn’t it be?  With 3 potential nights of festivities and 3 consecutive days off work for most guests, it’s easy to plan a wedding where many of the attendees are from out of town.  Being that people feel they’re on vacation, both because it’s a long weekend and they’re in a different city, I think it’s especially fun for us to be privy to the parties that result from the festive mood.   Sam and Sarah Jane’s wedding did not disappoint!  Pucker up, because there are some kissable moments in these images!  The whole affair was held at the Westin Grand Hotel and these gorgeous photos are by Amy Raab.  Enjoy!

A Jamie Sears Wedding – Maya & Josh

Every so often, a wedding speaks to your fancy and reminds you that love is all about possibilities.  Maya & Josh’s wedding, planned by the delectable Jamie Sears of A Simply Chic Event was just such a wedding.  Oversized white balloons, gold shoes, miniature ice-cream cones, chandeliers hanging from trees and other such Alice-in-Wonderland treats to incite the senses and inspire the imagination abounded.  I am certain every single guest fell in love that very night!  Maya & Josh, we wish you every happiness and may your marriage be as fresh and fun as your wedding day!  These stunning photos, a teaser of video to come, brought to you by the wonderful  Holland Photo Arts.   And for even more photos of this event, visit their blog.  For a list of all the vendors who produced this fanciful affair, please scroll to the end of the post.
