WOODSTOCK WEDDING PHOTOS: MELISSA MARIE PHOTOGRAPHY: ERIC + AZADEH

You may not necessarily think of chic when in a rural area. And likely you don't think of couture when in your back yard. But I love these two really made their day their own. From unexpected venue choices based on the vibe they were going for, to the actual layout of events, they uniquely made their day work for them.

Who's to say you can't have a couture edge in a rustic small town? Who's to say what order of events must go and where within your own wedding? Love that these two mixed it up. Instead of engagement photos, they took pre-wedding pictures at a different location. They went home, grabbed some drinks and mingled with their guests until their ceremony. After there vows, they got photos with their friends and family as a whole; not a bridal party. Followed by an intimate dinner under the lights. I hear from couples all the time: "What should we do?" And my first response is always, in an ideal world, what would you want to do? Ok. How close to that can we get? These two did just that and man, was it a stunner!
