The Bride Justine Yandle, 24, a wedding photographer for her own company, Justine Yandle Photography The Groom Brian Berman, 29, a software engineer The Date October 7 As a wedding photographer, Justine had pictured her day many times over. She and Brian settled on an elegant, vintage theme and made it come to life with creams, golds, and tons of little treasures to add to the decor.

All seven bridesmaids wore similar silhouettes to Justine's dress in a romantic deep-blue tone.
