Offbeat Bride: Jenn, photographer

Her Offbeat Partner: Skip, welder

Location & date of wedding: Cabin in the mountains of Pigeon Forge, TN — 7/11/09

What made our wedding offbeat: We did almost the entire thing DIY including making our own cakes (+ M.O.H. made cupcakes). I (the bride) made: invitations, my veil & fascinator, my bouquet, boutonnières, brides cake, decorations, signs. Skip (the groom) made the groom's cake, & helped with decorations and signs. Bridesmaids made their own fascinators.

We had help from other friends including, my friend Amber who got ordained & performed our ceremony. Other friends made the food, did my hair, & took video of the ceremony for us. We didn’t hire anyone we didn’t know!
