Robert and Kelly Gash are an adorable husband and wife team that make up Gash Photography in Seattle, covering all of Seattle, Washington, and beyond. These two crazy kids get their kicks out of working with couples who enjoy "breaking the rules" much in the same way they've done with their business.

Their idea was simple… build a relationship by committing their time to each client. And don't ask people to make sacrifices just to fit a budget. They threw traditional "limited" pricing out the window to give everyone the same great photography coverage. In a sentence: they cater to offbeat brides by being offbeat photographers.

Gash Photography has shot several offbeat weddings, but said that the wedding of Seattle couple Genna and Adam stood out as the one to share with our beloved Offbeat readers.

Whilst wedding planning I had a crazy messy binder full of notes, business cards, wedding songs and other numerous and sundry items. And I'm not good at organizing at all, so I lost a lot of papers and a few times the actual binder itself!

My Wedding Binder is an online, virtual wedding planning binder that works very much like a physical binder with easy-to-use and customizable planning tools. They charge a one time membership fee of $29.95 (but we got you the hook-up on a nice discount — more about that later) and for that you get to never have to be bombarded with thousands of pop-ups and advertisements for obnoxious WIC bullshit again!

I spent a while tooling around the site and was like this the whole time. They have freaking EVERYTHING that you'd ever need:

Step right up and check out Leah LaRiccia — a fantastic photographer based out of Massachusetts, though she is also available for travel throughout New England and to "distant galaxies."

Clearly Leah LaRiccia is a photographer who caters to the offbeat crowd (as evidenced by the amazingness displayed above and below). And as a member of the Wedding Photojournalist Association and Modern Photographers, Leah really knows her shit — and it shows. To demonstrate her photo-tastic abilities, you must check out her shots of Adena and Ben's Demolition Derby wedding:

Adena and Ben planned to get married at the Demolition Derby -– driving onto the field in painted cars, getting out of said cars and jumping onto the hoods to get married! Sounds amazing, right? But what they didn't plan for the hurricane that was predicted to blow through on their wedding day.

Keep reading to see what happened with this wild and wonderful wedding AND to take advantage of Leah LaRiccia's Offbeat Bride discount…

In my last shoe post, Alicia left a comment about the shoes she was getting from ModCloth, and I just about keeled over. These shoes to the left? They are called UNICORN PRINCESS HEELS, and that may be the best name of a shoe ever.

Once I saw those, I started clicking around ModCloth's other shoes and gurgle. There went two hours of my life. They have a looooot of awesome shoes. So many that I decided this week I would take a break from my thematic approach and just drool over this one catalog.

If you're ready for this week's batch of wedding shoe inspirashons, grab your tea and let's dive in together, yes?
