I just got this email from a friend, and I’m guessing some Seattleite offbeat brides might be interested …

From Seattle photographer Victoria Renard:

I’m beginning a new leg of my business to include unique, rock & roll style and alternative lifestyle wedding and couples photography. For one thing, I understand that a lot of people get married (especially in the summertime) but not everyone wants their ceremony to look like some sort of Disney/Pixar fairy tale complete with Vaseline on the lens vignetting and white dresses. I also understand that not everyone plans their event a year in advance or has $5,000 to spend. So, I am starting a new budget-savvy photography service for people who are looking for something different.

Though I worked as a wedding photographer for a reputable studio a few years ago, I need to create a current portfolio of this type of work to reflect the modern and unique look I’m going for. If you are an attractive couple with an edgy or interesting look, please respond and let me know how soon you’re available. Same sex and racially diverse couples encouraged.

I’d like to demonstrate a variety of different situations so instead of posing in front of a church or garden I’m encouraging themes such as cowboy weddings, trashy Vegas, trailer park, bowling alley, outer space, Hawaiian tiki, underwater, sideshow circus, psychedelic, goth, drag queen, upside down, exotic and glamorous costuming… anything atypical or offbeat. In return, you’ll get a cache of hi-res digital images to use for your modeling portfolio. Or, if you’re a real couple, you’ll finally have a special portrait to send to friends and family.
