California winery wedding as seen on @offbeatbride

Swoon at these dapper dudes with a “Prince Charming marries Prince Charming” theme

These two dapper-as-hell, handsome gents are both from Texas, but somehow didn’t meet until they were both living in the Bay Area. When they finally got married, it was all about the theme: Prince Charming marries Prince Charming! There were longline jackets, costumes, origami cranes, fabulous flowers, and a gorgeous castle-themed cake perfect for two princes in love.

A canoe entrance, a dock jump, and a breastfeeding mama round out this fab camp wedding

Gus and Ria were married at Camp Moran State Park on Orcas Island, where they camped and partied hard. Some of our favorite parts include the couple’s son Harlan breastfeeding before the wedding, the canoe entrance to the ceremony, and the joyous dock jump after! They quite literally took the plunge. The reception had dancing, s’mores, and even some skinny-dipping. All is right with this wedding.

These two brides had a rustic redwoods wedding (despite a big challenge with some fiddlers!)

Feast your eyes on the rustic redwoods wedding of your California dreams. Though this GORGEOUS pair had a big challenge with some fiddlers (you have to read about it!), they conquered the day with style, flair, and teamwork. Don’t miss the fashion, the tearful impromptu speech at the reception, and the giant Serenity Prayer circle. It’ll move you.

Magic: The Gathering engagement shoot as seen on @offbeatbride

Find out how Magic: The Gathering and Chipotle led to this nerdtastic engagement shoot

Will and Sara are self-described super nerds (our people!) and rocked a Magic: The Gathering meets Doctor Who engagement session that we couldn’t resist. Table-topping, TARDISing, and smooching — the story of our nerd-loving hearts. They met when she overheard him while walking down the street talking about Magic. As fate would have it, Will walked into the Chipotle line directly behind her and she gathered up the courage to talk to him since she too played Magic. Thus, the photos playing Magic are at none other than Chipotle!
