Romantic Winter styled shoot with a married couple from @offbeatbride

A real elopement turned romantic Winter styled shoot bliss

Real life couple, John and Stephanie, eloped on New Year’s Day and didn’t get any photos taken. Jessica of M&J Photography put out a call for a couple to join her on a killer styled shoot, so it was a win-win to get this gorgeous pair photographed. They had all hoped for a romantic Winter styled shoot with snow, but rain was on the menu which still looked AWESOME. You’ll super dig the pink cake, garden setting, and my fave, the floral gown + black veil combo.

You must see this Legend of Zelda wedding with Odinic ceremony

Jen and John had an Odinic ceremony at the Pennsylvania Renaissance Faire with loads of fantasy-inspired and awesomely geeky details inspired by The Legend of Zelda. The Renaissance faire offered up lunch and shows performed by the actors after the ceremony, including a dancing pig and a falconer. Keep your eyes peeled for the Legend of Zelda cake and ring, black fishnets on the bride, and epic Renaissance garb on the guests.

5 times Dustin Cantrell’s photos punched us straight in the feels

Itinerant traveling wedding photographer, Dustin Cantrell, has taught us a fair few things in our time knowing him: how to deal with the too real anxiety of having an unplugged wedding and sad-but-true reasons to turn your wedding pics into OMG REAL LIFE ACTUAL photo prints. Dustin has been a part of the Offbeat family for a really long time and offbeat couples keep on continuously choosing him to capture their wedding moments. We already know why, and you should, too.

Poe and rock wedding as seen on @offbeatbride

Once upon a midnight dreary, we fell for this Poe wedding

Tamara and Sam’s theme is seriously one of our favorites: “rock ‘n’ Poe” — all things Edgar Allen Poe meets rock ‘n’ roll. They DIYed a lot of the goth details, and dinner was a breakfast bar. Between the fabulous black gown (which was actually billed as a “mother of the bride dress” — wut), the killer groom outfit and epic beard, and the black and white lace cake, we love this wedding with a love that’s more than a love. Okay, no more Poe quotes, I promise.
