Cindy & Jay’s adventure festival wedding with streaking

A diverse group of friends and family deserves diverse activities like fire spinning, hula hooping, live music, and of course… streaking. Wait, what? This couple had their ceremony kicked off in a seriously funny way. With their trusty pooch in tow, zoot suit-clad groom, surprise group blessing, and all the elements at their disposal, this was an outdoor wedding to remember.
