Remember when I introduced you to my new bff, the balloon bouquet? Well, one awesome couple put them in action at their carnival-themed wedding! Their photographer Outer Focus Photos described the wedding as “sort of carnivale-meets-Burning Man.”
Mark and Tara got married in a weekend-long, redwood forest campground extravaganza in Guerneville, CA. I love how the wedding’s officiant dressed in circus ring master garb!
The wedding party pictures are probably my favorites of all time. Formal portraits were shot at a nearby abandoned and decaying amusement park.
Their reception was where it got even cooler. Guests wore tiny hats, clown make-up, and lots of faux fur. Belly dancers served up the couple’s first shot of whiskey as husband and wife and several fire spinners performed after dark.
