WE LOVE THESE FOLKS! These indie businesses have paid to sponsor Offbeat Wed because they love nontraditional weddings and want to work with more offbeat folks. We think they’re awesome, and we think you will too. If you want to support Offbeat Wed, using one of these vendors in your wedding is the best way to do so… they’re how we’re able to stay online and continue our mission of supporting offbeat awesomeness everywhere.

Vendors, want to be a part of this love-fest? Join us as a sponsor!

Some of the most drop-dead gorgeous wedding portraits EVER (and you can make yours just as fab)

Some of the most drop-dead gorgeous wedding portraits EVER (and you can make yours just as fab)

We’ve been ogling stunning photos by our New Jersey-based longtime photography partner Dennis Pike for years now and STILL never ever ever can get over how amazing they are. No seriously: when we first stated working with him, all of us were heart eyes emoji-ing his photos and he still never stops surprising us with his use of light, shadows, and composition.

Peeking at his portrait portfolio is like falling into the looking glass in a love wonderland. The best part of working with Dennis is that he’s been owning offbeat weddings for his entire career. Some of his very favorite weddings came from readers like you and it’s a match made in heaven every time.

As a lifelong Ren Fest nut myself, I can’t stop ogling weddings that feature armor, weapons (peace-tied, natch!), dragons, corsets, and a whole royal court at the ready. It’s so immersive and whimsical and I get giddy just imagining what new Medieval and Renaissance-inspired weddings will come our way out of Scarborough. The best part? YOUR WEDDING CAN BE THERE, TOO!
