SarahKat & Ryan’s Firefly and steampunk Maine woods wedding

Out in the Maine woods, and just a little bit lost, this wedding came together with the spiffiest wedding party this side of Serenity. A little bit steampunk, a little bit Firefly-inspired, and a whole lot of geek-tastic love made this party a woodsy, DIY, and inked-up awesome-fest.

Madeleine & Anton’s two-day pink and black wedding

Over Labor Day weekend, this couple had a very small, private ceremony one day, then an entire day of festivities the next. They had chalk drawing contests, a giant frame photo booth, a big ol’ chocolate heart-shaped cake, and the cutest damned pink and black dress EVAR!

Rachele & Steve’s 3D graphic design wedding

When two graphic designers get married you’re sure to have something good to look at. In this case, it was their printed materials including programs, invites, save-the-dates, and seating chart. But the really amazing part was that they made them in 3D! The guests even donned 3D glasses to see the fun. But no glasses could have saved them from break dancing casualties.
