To celebrate the season, we're featuring a Halloween wedding every week for the month of October!

The Offbeat Bride: Kymba, RN (and OBT member)

Her Offbeat Partner: Kerry, Paramedic

Location & date of wedding: Shaffer Hotel, Mountainair, New Mexico. A haunted pueblo-deco, built in a unique style with an attached park, gazebo, firepit, game room, multipurpose room, an attached restaurant, and a ghost or two who joined in our fun — October 31, 2008

What made our wedding offbeat: As a free-spirited, multi-ethnic, democratic hippie marrying a former military, Lutheran, republican — there wasn't a whole lot about our wedding that was considered "normal" by either side of the aisle (well, except the aisle itself). My family was very happy with the whole Halloween wedding in a haunted hotel in costume vibe. His family was very happy with the gazebo ceremony site, country music reception, and the great local food.

The Offbeat Bride: Jeannette, belly dancer, violinist, and daytime accountant

Her Offbeat Partner: Cliff, software engineer

Location and date of wedding: Ceremony: Arizona State, Reception: Jeannette's parents' back yard — September 13, 2008

What made our wedding offbeat: We always knew we wanted a very small wedding. We decided to skip a bunch of the usual built-in drama and leave out bridesmaids, groomsmen, ringbearers, piles of doves, etc.

EcoLine14Arizona based Angelina Rose Photography is a total win for offbeat brides…

First, her images are stunning. With her mix of documentary, artistic, and lifestyle photography Angelina Rose Photography has pretty much got your wedding covered on all angles. And she's got a great eye for capturing those unplanned and silly wedding moments. You know… moments like these and these and whatever's happening here

Second, she's willing to travel. Angelina is an East Coast girl living on the West Coast, so she's equally comfortable shooting a Connecticut wedding as she is shooting in Arizona.

"I feel that Green weddings are a movement rather than a trend." -Angelina Rose Photography

And third, she's totally eco-conscious! She offers an eco-friendly wedding photography package and, no matter what package you choose, she "gives back" by donating a percentage of your initial deposit towards one of two non-profit organizations.

What more could you ask for in a photographer? How about a special offer to offbeat brides? Well, she's got that covered too! Check it out…

Her Offbeat Partner: Jay, Roller Derby Coach

Location & date of wedding: Dickson Theater, Fayetteville, AR. A local bar & club. — July 23, 2009

What made our wedding offbeat: Our wedding was non-traditional from the start. First of all, I'm 14 years older than my hubby, Jay. We met through roller derby. He's the coach, I'm a skater.
