Carnival meets Burning Man wedding tease

At a Glance

Mark and Tara’s wedding photographer Outer Focus Photos described their wedding as “sort of carnivale-meets-Burning Man.” But wait until you see the bouquets!

OFP 82001Remember 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.”

OFP 90648Mark 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!

OFP 90661The wedding party pictures are probably my favorites of all time. Formal portraits were shot at a nearby abandoned and decaying amusement park.

OFP 90709Their 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.
