Hey guys! So most of you know me as the Managing Editor of this here crazy site. But you may or may not know that I'm also a photographer! And one of the perks of working my butt for Ariel is that she lets me self-promote. So let the awkward self-promotion begin!

Offbeat Bride has already featured my work for OBT member Ragani's cinematic gala wedding in Oakland, and my friend Alex's Mexi-kitschy forest wedding in Santa Cruz. But what you haven't seen yet is the fabulous and crafty wedding of another OBT member, CaseyB.

Casey and Colin got married in the Temescal Gateway Park in the Santa Monica mountains. The gorgeous setting was a photographer's dream. And all the amazing details are an offbeat bride's porn-a-licious drool-fest.

Casey hand-crafted all of these great fabric roses. She made her beautiful hairpiece and her bouquet out of them. She even made them as lapel pins for the wedding party AND created ones in various colors for the wedding favors. And don't even get me started on her amazing dress…

Known for his rock 'n' roll work, Jeremy Harris is New York-based wedding photographer who's been featured in magazines such as Rolling Stone, SPIN, and the UK mag Kerrang.

So wait, why does a guy who photographs rock stars for Rolling Stone want to shoot your wedding? "Unlike the editorial and ad shoots which only satisfy the art director for a moment," Jeremy told me, "The weddings I shoot make people happy for a lifetime … I enjoy creating something that will be truly cherished!"

The advantage of working with a photographer accustomed to shooting musicians for magazines is that you get an editorial and photojournalistic style … and BONUS: you get treated like a rock star.

Oh and don't let the fact that Jeremy's based in New York fool you! He works frequently in the Bay Area and Los Angeles and, he says with a wicked little smile, "…I have a valid passport."

To feast your eyes on more of Jeremy's work, head to his website, or his blog.

If you're planning an Offbeat wedding in Ohio, and you're having trouble finding a photographer who isn't balking at your plans, get in touch with Razvan Photography.

(…actually, like many photographers, Razvan looooves to travel — so there's no need to be in Ohio.)

Razvan told me he prides himself on keeping his clients laughing and having fun … and if you take a peek at his shots from Kelsey & Rick's bad-ass rocker wedding, you'll get a feel for how that attitude translates into light-hearted, beautiful wedding photos.

As a special treat for Offbeat Bride readers, Razvan is offering a $200 bonus print credit to your package when you mention finding him here.

(Because really: what photographer doesn't love offbeat clients?)

Oh and PS! Razvan is also sponsoring a give-away for a vintage birdcage veil on his blog.
