Beautiful offbeat mama-bride Vashon Island wedding
Eliza Truitt Photography shot a really touching wedding of an offbeat mama in a summer camp wedding and I wanted to share these photos with you during Offbeat Mama Week…
Our $2000 Summer Camp Wedding
We started the wedding planning process by declaring a strict and modest budget: $2,000 to be exact. We wanted our wedding to be about sincerity, authenticity, connection, and a celebration and proclamation of love and commitment. We didn’t want it to be about monogrammed napkins and excessive amounts of fondant. In all honesty, we didn’t want to let our wedding overshadow our relationship (and we needed to save money for the house we planned to buy four days after our wedding).
Lisa & Rowly’s kid-friendly campsite wedding
Since both our families were from out of state, we searched for a place where we could be together for a weekend. We wanted more of an experience than just a few hours of the traditional ceremony, food and dancing. We lucked out finding the Woods at Wihakowi, which is about 5 miles from our own house. It was small enough that we could take it over for the weekend but had enough space (36 acres!) that everyone could spread out.
