Ladies, you see that adorable short wedding dress the bride Catherine is wearing? You see that adorable groom next to her? His name is Hans and he made Catherine's dress. Seriously: he made his bride's dress!

That said, I noticed this little post on the groom's blog:

number of dresses i've been asked to sew in the past 3 months by friends: 8. number of dresses i've sewn in the past 3 months: 1.

hint: i don't want to sew you a dress.

In other words, just because he made his bride's dress, doesn't mean he's making you a dress!

The offbeat bride: Christina, Architect/intern

My offbeat groom: Michael, Musician/vintage furniture salesman

Location & date of wedding: Ceremony at Trinity Church and reception at Sunset Tavern, both in Seattle, June 2007.

What made our wedding offbeat: We tried to do things our way and not get caught up in everything we "had to have" for the wedding. We were able to have a totally rockin' wedding with a very small budget.

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!
