Real Weddings: John + Whitney

I’ve been looking forward so much to bringing you the absolutely beautiful Oklahoma City wedding of John and Whitney photographed by the uber-talented Josh McCullock.  John and Whitney’s wedding was so unique and fun – I just know you’re going to love it!

Whitney has such a bohemian beauty about her – the simple gown, the gorgeous headpiece, and the fantastic necklaces… swoon!

The setting could not have been more perfect – a backyard wedding on a gorgeous day in OKC.

More beautiful texture from Josh and amazing lighting on this dress shot and my new favorite shoe shot ever.

John and Whitney chose to see each other prior to the ceremony so that they could have some prime portrait-taking time with Josh.

They had a little helper for their ceremony.

My absolute favorite part of this wedding is the bridal party.  Have a look!

I’m so in love.  The non-matchiness of it all is so practical and un-traditional, and it looks fantastic and comfortable and REAL.  What a perfect look for a vintage-inspired backyard wedding.

The reception couldn’t have been more casual-chic.  I have always been a huge fan of lights strung through trees – the setting is magical!
