First Look Friday: Emily + Grant by Off The Beaten Path Weddings, Photos by onelove photography

Welcome to another First Look Friday! We hope you remember this awesome couple… to us, they will always remind us of the word, “WOOPA” as they created it and made it the theme of their wedding. Haven’t seen it yet? Check out WOOPA here. But first, check out how this Bridechilla™ sneaks up on her guy… happy FLF!

And thank you SO much to our friends at onelove photography for capturing this special moment between Emily and Grant! Remember to enjoy the rest of this Bridechilla™’s chill day on Style Me Pretty. And of course, HAVE A GREAT WEEKEND!

First Look Friday: Jen + Bryan by Off The Beaten Path Weddings, Photos by Catherine Hall Studios

Since we are less than 10 days from the start of our season, we thought we’d throw it back to one of our weddings from a couple years ago! Welcome to  First Look Friday, or should I say FLASHBACK Friday, since we are featuring Jen and Bryan today? It doesn’t matter, because this wedding was beautiful and they are also celebrating their anniversary this month (May 14th); with tulips, bow-tie’s, and a pup to make the day even better – it’s hard to only share one single moment, but we know it’s one you’re going to love: 

Thank you SO much to our friends at Catherine Hall Studios for capturing this special moment between Jen and Bryan! Jen’s face holds all the emotion that words could never say, there is just so much joy… Enjoy the rest of this Bridechilla™’s chill day on Style Me Pretty.

And of course, HAVE A GREAT WEEKEND!

First Look Friday: Grandmother + Bride from Moment Junkie

This First Look Friday truly warmed our hearts when it popped up in our Facebook News Feed from the go-to place for tear-jerking imagery – Moment Junkie. It looks like this Bridechilla™ instantly brought her grandmother to tears in when she came in to site… just see for yourself!

HUGE thank you to our friends at Moment Junkie for sharing this special moment between Bride and Grandmother! It truly shows that sometimes words are just unnecessary. Enjoy your weekend, ‘chillas…

First Look Friday: Father + Daughter by Anna Delores

Happy First Look Friday! Last week we shared a shot-by-shot of Julia + Tom’s First Look… Tom’s face was incredibly endearing as he watched Julia walk down the aisle. That is why we love the first look… but is it always going to be about the groom? No way! The only thing more “awww” worthy than a tear-struck groom is seeing the father of the bride’s face when he FIRST sees his little girl… see below!

See? Sweetest. Thing. Ever. Thank you SO much to Anna Delores for capturing this special moment between this father and daughter! And be sure to check out our Bridechilla™ Tip on why it’s so great to capture the first look between bride and father. With that being said, Hopefully everyone has a great weekend… see you on our next #FirstLookFriday!

Thank you SO much to our friends at onelove photography for capturing this special moment between Tom and Julia! Tom’s face is just too endearing NOT to share! Enjoy the rest of this Bridechilla™’s chill day on the onelove photography site. And of course, HAVE A GREAT WEEKEND!

Off The Beaten Path Weddings loves their Hospitality Ambassadors!

We take *so* much pride and joy in every Off The Beaten Path Wedding, and sharing photos with all of our readers is always such a pleasure. When the photographer sends those files after an event, it’s always fun to oooh and aaah over each image, and choose the best to share with everyone. BUT today, we are taking a minute to share some “behind the scenes” shots of our staff doing their thing. We’ve definitely learned that it takes a village to produce an Off The Beaten Path Wedding, but lucky for us – we have a wonderful group of hospitality ambassadors (also known as service staff) to make every event possible. Now that our season is over at Off The Beaten Path Weddings, it’s nice to look back on the fun moments with staff and appreciate the fact that they are both hard-working and chill… after all, it is the season to share what you are thankful for!

All of these photos are from Holly & Jim’s chill day, see a snapshot of the Bridechilla™ below!

Thanks again to our wonderful OTBPW staff for being such a chill group of people. And also, thank you to Melissa Phillips for providing these photos!
