Dorothy Ann and Matthew found me through Offbeat Bride and I am so glad that they did. They had a really fun wedding in Seattle, with a mixture of classic geeky wedding themes: Star Wars, Star Trek, Tolkien, How to Train Your Dragon, and more.

The groom wore a Star Trek pin instead of a boutonniere and the couple gave me a “Hand of the King” pin from Game of Thrones before the wedding (which I proudly wore!).

They included plenty of mythical couples along with their collection of geeky wedding themes, including Cinderella with her glass slipper.

I added some dragons to some of their photos, at their request, so they have dragons watching over their ceremony.
