So yeah... Ariel and I are kind of (okay fine...) TOTALLY freaking out over Matt and Jescia's incredible wedding party photos taken on carnival rides at some amusement park in Bismarck, North Dakota.
They took awesome ferris wheel shots like this one of the bride and groom here, along with some fun times on a swing (remember underdogs?), merry-go-round photos, and these really great bridal party photos with the groups going down a Super Slide...
Oh and they had a fantabulous homemade photo booth...
And, oh and yes, they also got married. And this might well be one of my favorite "we did it" moment photos...
Hopefully these crazy kids will be filling out a bride profile SOON! So that we can get you more details asap. Until then... slide show!

This has to be one of the favorite sets of wedding photos I have ever seen! Love – love the photo booth! Also, the colors & feathers appearing here and there are fantastic. Looks like a wonderful time!

I was kinda getting bored with the old DIY photo booth thing, but you guys have restored my faith in kitschy alternatives to wedding pics. Best wishes to you both – and thanks for sharing!

I say these the other day and they were AWESOME! Plus they went to Harry Potter World for their honeymoon, so she is extra cool in my book. I may be wrong here, but isn't her name Jescia and not Jessica?
Sarah said
Haha, oops, you beat me to the correction. Yes it is Jescia, and hopefully she will be filling out an OBB wedding profile soon!
Betsy said
It is Jescia pronounces (Jes – see – a)

WHOOOOOA! This wedding looks amazingly fun. I love the uncomfortable-mom-watching-the-kids-smooch picture at the fabulous fake photo wall.
lady brett said
not to side-show how lovely these photos are (the ferris wheel one!), but *ahem* i simply want to know about her dress…and where i can get it =)
Jescia said
saks fifth avenue – sue wong gown… it was WAYYYYY cheaper than a wedding dress. WAYYYYY cheaper.
Lyndsay said
I was thinking that was a Sue Wong dress! She used to make something really similar to this dress in teal with bronze beading and accents that I had ogled for my wedding dress for months…. stunning dress, and you just look beautiful in it.
What a gorgeous wedding–you all look so happy!
Sarah said
Yay Jescia and Matt! I know those crazy kids and yes, you can thank me for introducing them to OBB, though I can't take credit for planning (or even, alas, attending) their fabulous wedding. This is what happens when you marry a working artist to a working writer – awesomeness!
P.S. Jescia, I am totally stealing your photobooth idea(s).
P.P.S. Meghan – please post the photobooth pic where they use big white dialog and thought bubbles. Best. Idea. Ever.
Sarah said
Uh, PS – I just realized this because I just told Jescia – Her name is JESCIA (pronounced "jess-see-ah", not "Jessica."
Offbeat Megan said
Oops, sorry. It's been fixed. That's what I get for writing posts when I'm way to excited.
Jescia said
oh, hey! I have no idea where to fill out a wedding profile?!? eep!
Offbeat Megan said

Wow! I'm moving to Bismarck now!
Jescia said
We make Bismarck look a lot cooler than it really is… haha

Oh, soooo cute!

Marissa said
That photo booth is super insane! I DIE! Can I please steal this? I love this wedding!
Sidebar: have you all noticed how the typewriter guest book is definitely the latest trend? That and chalk boards seem to be popping up in every wedding I've seen in the past month.
Isabelle said
Awesome photobooth! This is a great, fun, crazy wedding just like I love them! I can't wait to hear more about it!!
cicatricella said
oh wow, I *LOVE* it! The dress is amazing – totally what I was looking for (I'm making mine instead tho). The swings! the slides! the pictures! everything!
Becky said
Where did you get the bridesmaids dresses? I love them, and the girls look super comfy in them too!
Jescia said
Surprisingly, we got them at David's Bridal. They have pockets. I think that was why they won.
Becky said
Awesome, thanks
Melissa said
Where did you get the tree decoration?
Jescia said
I bought the whole stock of round mirrors from Hobby Lobby and glued them together with ribbons in between. Really really easy.
cassie said
You're freaking out? I'm freaking out too.
SO CUTE. Cute isn't the right word. But I LOVE IT.

Congratulations! You two have some great photo ideas!
Myrtle said
I really like the photo with the parents in the background looking in disapproval.
Ezza said
WOW! This is just fantastic! Dude, I am now wishing with every fibre of my being that I lived in a town with an amusement park. Or one that at least had a resident ferris wheel. NO FAIR.
But honestly, it looks like an absolute blast was had by all, and I bet it was an absolutely marvellous and unforgettable wedding day.
Aw, and how did you do your photobooth, Jescia? Was it with a computer, or camera on a tripod?
