Out of the Box Challenge // Featured Team: Not All the Things

Our story follows a RVA couple that have been together for several years, have a great house, have a sweet pup and have finally decided to get married.  She bought a wedding dress, they started the planning, picked out stationary and did all the things that a normal engaged couple would do.  Until one Sunday morning they woke up and thought, “Fuck it.  Let’s just go and get married.”  They ate breakfast, got dressed, took their dog on a walk, got married and went back home to eat cake and Netflix & chill.  Maybe not the most glamorous of wedding days with dreamy sunsets and gold rimmed place settings but the two most important parties showed up for one another and isn’t that all we really hope for on a wedding day.

Last month, we hosted our first-ever Out of the Box Challenge, a styled shoot challenge similar to the cooking show Chopped. We had nine teams from across the country compete, and we sent them boxes of mystery items including dresses from Ash and LightCelia Grace, and Urban Set Bride along with accessories from Kerry Ann Stokes and Wood Thumb.

We are extremely proud of all the teams and their hard work (and beautiful photos)!
