lia + nate did their micro-wedding right.
they rented a sweet ass airbnb. they splurged on a caterer for bomb food + drinks. they invited there nearest + dearest immediate family. they gave their dog a job during the ceremony (i mean, c’mon!).
it was our first time at willow camp and we immediately fell in love with the down-to-earth, old world and eclectic charm. we hope to return again in the future! thank you to lia + nate for putting their trust in our vision and letting our photo + beauty teams do their thing. that’s when the magic happens!
finally, have to recognize the vendors below. with intimate gatherings like this one, it all comes down to the team. bravo all!

“It's difficult to put into words just how much I would recommend Love + Wolves for your wedding. My (now) husband and I threw together an elopement with our immediate families 5 or so weeks in advance and I had my eyes on Love + Wolves the moment we set the date in stone. We were both a bit nervous to deal with vendors in general in such a short time frame, but both Jake and Ash (the co-founders) made this experience the best-case-scenario possible.
We had an introductory call with them to get to know each other before anything was set in stone, and I felt like this was such a nice touch to make us comfortable with the entire shebang. We immediately clicked and I just knew we would be in good hands. Because this was all planned so soon in advance, Nate and I were a bit frazzled in terms of finalizing day-of details...Jake and Ash saved us. The entire process from start to finish was legitimately stress free (I'm not exaggerating, I swear). They were both so enthusiastic and kept emphasizing that they were there for us if we needed anything, even offering help in coordinating the days events.
Ash and her colleague did 4 women's hair and makeup along with mine. Everyone had a totally different style they were going for, and Ash + team freakin' NAILED IT. Everyone looked their absolute best, and in their own way -- myself included. I'm always hesitant about getting hair and makeup done because I was worried I wouldn't look like myself (I'm sure this is a common feeling). When I saw myself in the mirror I just could not stop smiling. I had brought a couple of different options for hair pins, and Ash mixed and matched them in a really stunning way. To top it off...I needed help getting into my dress and none of the family could be found (ha). I started to mildly panic but there was Ash, with her calm and collected presence, ready to get me into my dress and to the first look :) It might not seem like a big deal, but I won't ever forget that act of kindness.
And then there was Jake. Nate and I have always been an awkward pair when it comes to PDA and taking photos (also, socializing is hard in 2020!!). This was a complete non-issue with Jake. It felt like he just...understood us. He guided us through the magic of the day without being invasive and he was seriously just such a pleasure to work with. His excitement and enthusiasm is contagious. Our families were just as obsessed with him (they're still raving about it). He captured everyone's presence and personality perfectly. His shots are just insane. ALSO, he sent us a preview album the NEXT DAY with 200+ photos. P.S. one of my favorite things -- when Jake would ask us to try something out for a cool photo op, and then he'd look at his camera and squeal from excitement :) When I saw how those photos turned out in the preview, I, too, squealed.
They're both straight up magicians. I don't know how else to put it. Their professionalism, their personability, and frankly, badassery just cannot be matched. Jake and Ash take their craft and the aesthetic of their brand very seriously and it very clearly shows. I've already recommended their services to every one of my friends who are engaged.
THANK YOU LOVE + WOLVES!”
