Wedding porn: Christina and Michael’s wedding

This is absolutely my favorite wedding shot of the day. From the bride’s expression to the decorated get-away bikes to the groom’s tie to his kilt to the fact that yes, it was taken in my hometown of Seattle … I just love it!

I’m consistently amazed and in love with the pictures that show up in the Offbeat Bride photo pool. Yay!

(Thanks to christinanicoleb for the photo!)

• Hey, I'm Ariel, author of the book Offbeat Bride: Taffeta-Free Alternatives for Independent Brides. This blog is just the tip of the offbeat iceberg — for the whole story you'll need the book, which is half memoir, half tipster handbook. I also blog at Electrolicious.
