The happiest gay lumberjack wedding ever

I got completely immersed in the photos sent from Kristen Marie Photography, and was cheering along with the guests (you’ll see what I mean when you get there). She described this as a “gay lumberjack” wedding, which is just fantastic. There’s summer camp/scouting influences, talent shows, tubing down a river, log cutting, and the happiest faces ever. Plus, it’s in Washington, so it’s legal. Seriously, just start looking.

Ellen & Paul’s summer camp peacock handfasting

Rising from the depths of the lake at summer camp, it’s…. the most adorable crocheted Cthulhu bride and groom cake toppers — the little bride Cthulhu with her peek of peacock dress and the little groom Cthulhu in his kilt and beard. This wedding embraced the gentle nods to weird and sweet personal touches, but shining smiles and hearty laughs win the day.

Taymar & Max’s summer camp weekend wedding

Offbeat Brides have been submitting lots of gorgeous woodsy weddings, so we’ve compiled a few of our favorites in a forest theme week including this nostalgically-inspired summer camp wedding. Oh, and you’ll soon learn about something called “hippie clown camp.” Who’s signing up with me?

Sam & Brian’s Jewish camp wedding by the lake

This pair met at summer camp and had the wedding at that same camp years later! So cute. Planning from a distance was a challenge, but with the help of their planner, the outdoor, twinkle lighted ceremony couldn’t have been sweeter. And the sunny summer camp setting made for some amazing shots!
