Offbeat grooms: A little role reversal

October 6th, 2008

Some of you may remember me griping about how wedding photographers love to shoot women sitting at their partners’ feet. Even my beloved Leah Muse has used the “groveling bride/headless groom” pose!

So it’s nice to see that Jessica Lewis Photo is flipping the script a bit with her shot of Brandon and Karen here. Bonus: look at how Brandon’s hair matches Karen’s bouquet!

Brandon is definitely a super stylish rock ‘n’ roll groom. How much do you love his ruffled tux shirt western string tie? Really, you must go check out all the photos, because the bride is gorgeous and the whole wedding party is smokin’ hot.

(PS: thanks to Serena for pointing this wedding out to me, and Jessica Lewis for taking the shots.)

Offbeat grooms, Wedding porn: Heptadecagram & Red_Lynx’s gorgeous Maryland wedding

May 7th, 2008

I’m all a-twitter over the amazing photos and stories from the wedding of two members of the Offbeat Bride DC Wedding Co-op.

…The bride had a sword!

…The groom wooed her with a bowl of brownies he baked that morning!

…They did all their flowers themselves!

…The bride’s entrance was one of the most dramatically beautiful I’ve ever seen.

…The location (Adelphi Mill) was insanely gorgeous!

Basically, you should just go read the groom’s incredibly sweet post about the wedding. I’m going to go lose myself in the photos again, myself…

• 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.
