Monday Montage: awesomely adorable couple portraits!

This Monday, I was overwhelmed by all of the amazing couple portraits in the Offbeat Bride Flickr pool. You'd be surprised how many profile submissions we get where the couple has little to no photos of just the two of them. I was really excited to see so many irresistible portraits of the bride and groom. Keep 'em coming! Also, feel free to click on a photo you like to see more.

I can't even tell you how many times I've been to Seattle — probably hundreds — but this view NEVER, EVER gets old. Maureen and Alex got married at the Georgetown Ballroom in Seattle. Getting this photo was rather risky, it required a little traffic dodging. But Maureen and Alex laugh in the face of danger. Good thing, because as Maureen said, "the result rocks my socks (or should I say my chucks - which are hidden beneath my skirt)."


Eni & Andrej had a gothic wedding at the Berkeley in Toronto. They recited their vows in their native language, Serbo-Croatian. Although they couldn't find a minister that spoke the language, the one they found was happy to play along. He even wore a black and red cloak as requested!

Sarah and Todd met on thier college's speech and debate team. As a result they did a lot of traveling together. So they had a vintage, travel-themed wedding. I'm about 97% positive that they are zip-lining in this photo. I sure hope I'm right, because that's pretty badass!

Honestly, I FREAKIN' die! Celeste & Yajun had a "pixie" wedding. Originally, they planned on DIYing just a few things. However, once they started they just couldn't stop. They ended up DIYing a photobooth, corsages, a "red packet monster" card box, and more. This photo really leaves me wanting to know every detail of their "pixie" wedding!

Tracey and Scott got married at Lake Tekapo, in New Zealand. Beside the fact that this couple is insanely good looking, I'm totally digging their goth outfits! Now I have to add visiting this place to my ever-growing bucket list…

… Then this photo is unbelievable. Like, it can't even be real! It looks like a scene from a Tim Burton movie or something. Excuse me now, I need to pick my jaw up off the floor.
