The offbeat bride: Sarah, writer

Her offbeat partner: Jenn, typist

Location & date of wedding: Our meadow, Basom, NY. September 29, 2007

What made our wedding offbeat: We wanted our wedding to be a reflection of our deepest spirits - and said spirits just happen to have wings ;D

My wife is very much a Winter person, and I’m very much an Autumn person - so we came up with a vision of how we’d pull it off. Our dresses were sewn by my wife’s mother, and we ordered wings that would reflect the seasons. We couldn’t imagine a more magical place than our own meadow/backyard to get married in, so we dressed it up as a Faerie meadow - ribbons, flower petals and branches with autumn leaves were everywhere.

Offbeat Brides in Indiana, your time has finally come! If you’re looking for a Indianapolis wedding photographer who’s friendly to the ways of the non-trad bride (red dress? fairy wings? no problem!), J. Scott Photography is ready for you.

Run by Jamie and Brandy, a husband and wife team who played the theme to “The Odd Couple” at their own wedding, J. Scott Photography’s shots clearly run towards the artist and lush.

Jamie has a fine arts degree, and you can see from their wedding photo gallery that he definitely brings that aesthetic eye to his wedding photography as well.

For lots more shots from J. Scott Photography (including the cutest be-winged flower girls evar!) keep reading…

How many of my favorite wedding things can you count in this photo? Let me see …

1. Red wedding dress. Duh.

2. Wedding wings.

3. You can’t really see it in this shot, but that’s a ribbon veil! And we know I loves the ribbon veils.

4. Grinning boston terrier as bouquet. (I have a boston mix, so I’m biased.)

5. Total “not taking any shit” look from the barefoot bride.

Check out the full set over here!

This stunning wedding dress combines so many of my favorites (red dress! corset! wings! handmade!) that I can hardly contain myself.

Check out more pictures and the full story from the woman who made the dress (the bride’s cousin!) over here.

(Oh and thanks, Brittany!)

I wish more brides wore wings to their weddings … it’s such a fanciful, fun way to lighten up the day. Can this become a trend, please? Thanks.
