This is what it looks like when you get married at a Natural History Museum, like Leslie and Emory just did. (All photos are courtesy of LA's Serene Images Photography.)
To see a couple more photos from this awesome, quintessentially offbeat wedding, keep reading…
Yes, this is them with their minister standing in the main hall with dinosaur bones.
The dinosaur motif was present on their wedding programs, which were little fortune tellers…
And also on their wedding invitations…
To see lots more shots and even a little write-up, head on over the Serene Images Photography blog. If you're an OBT member, you can head straight to Leslie's profile page for the full scoop.

God, so beautiful. My first choice venue is the Field Museum here in Chicago. This makes me determined to scrape together enough money to have it there! I still have well over a year and haven't booked a venue yet…

This is Serena, I shot the wedding and it truly was awesome. These are just a few images up from my blog, but Leslie will be posting more soon. It was such a fun wedding to photograph. They played rockband instead of a first dance!

We wanted to do something like this but the licences weren't valid for the actual museum parts…only the function rooms.
Sad,sad,sad times, especially when looking at how bloody awesome this is!

This is seriously my dream wedding. Wow. I am frequently cynical, but boy am I happy to live in a world where someone is awesome enough to put dinosaurs on their wedding invites. Love this!
