Science geeks, dueling, and discounts from Massachusetts-based Leah LaRiccia Photography

About a year ago I showed you the greatness that is offbeat vendor and Massachusetts-based wedding photographer Leah LaRiccia through this amazing Demolition Derby wedding porn. She’s back and has offered up some of the greatest smattering of wedding photos I’ve ever seen. I bet you’re asking yourself how the HELL is she going to top a freaking Demolition Derby wedding!?

Heather & Diane’s snowy mountain lodge wedding

This pair focused on the places and tokens that meant the most to them. Their venue, concert ticket table numbers, and even a cute feather fascinator had meaning. And when a snowstorm took away the option of an outdoor ceremony, their indoor alternative turned out better than ever. These ladies know how to plan an intimate and personal celebration (with awesome winter coats!).

A hula hooping carnival performance wedding

A first look by the ocean, a ruffly green reception dress, a magician, and hula hooping. Plus, all the single ladies lined up flash mob-style for the bouquet toss to, of course, Beyonce. I’ve got your attention now, right? This carnival wedding in Massachusetts is bananas and you need to see it.

This wedding was a big gay dance party in the mountains

Take two men in love, a weekend long party full of dancing, pies, and even Jazzercize, and you get the wedding of Chad and Matt. And any couple who provides parasols, ribbon streamers, and cardboard cutouts for their “gigantic gay discotheque” is aces in my book.

Becca & Tara’s Autumn lesbian historic inn wedding

A messed up bustle, RSVP stress, and last minute wedding party changes didn’t get these ladies down. They pulled off a lovely party in a historic inn with rustic Autumn details, customized Converse, and a wedding party in white.
