Canadian photographer Trevor Jansen has put together an awesome website full of some gorgeous, inspiring photos of bad-ass brides, grooms, and engaged couples. The URL cracks me up (partners-in-crime.ca), but the photos are straight up hotness:

Prepare yourself for some guh-guh-guhmazing wedding porn from One Love Photo, based here in my homeland of Western Washington.

When photographer Heather Gilson contacted me about advertising, I went to go peek around her website to see if she did work I thought my offbeat brides would enjoy.

And what did I see? Amazing mod garden ceremonies. Grooms in chucks. Wai Ching dresses. In other words: quintessential offbeat brides.

Want to keep feasting your eyes? (Nyom nyom nyom: wedding porn!) More One Love Photo shots below!

Really, you must check out the entire set of photos from Sam and Julia’s wedding. Thanks to Closed Circle Photography for the shot!

This picture is from the wedding that got away. This summer a high school friend of mine was getting married on Bainbridge Island (our hometown), and I was super excited because it sounded like my kinda party (family property, camping, diy — aka a lot like my wedding!). Sadly, I was recovering from surgery and missed it. Tragic. TRAGIC! I cried.

And now the pictures are starting to pour in from the photographer and I’m even more heartbroken. Look at the awesome ’70s vintage feel to Elisa & Eric’s photos from photographer Courtney Brooke. Gorgeousness. I’m not sure if all these photos make up for missing the wedding or make it even worse.

(Also, I’ve begged Elisa to fill out a bride profile, so hopefully we’ll hear more about the wedding at some point.)

(Thanks to calico courtney brooke for the photo!)

Check out my whole collection of red wedding dress photos!

Obviously I have a thing for red wedding dresses. Photographer Martin Oliver captured a bride named Penaran in a red Ian Stuart dress. I love the rouching of the red train, and the bride’s adorable little cocktail hat.

For more shots, keep reading. And thanks to Martin Oliver Weddings for the photos!
