Nataliya Cole is a brilliant photographer based out of Los Angeles. I say "based out of" because she's willing to work anywhere.

"I LOVE to travel (especially to Northern California, Portland, Ann Arbor, New York and Connecticut), so if you are having your wedding in a cool location but budget is tight, I'm totally willing to work something out — either a discount rate or I might be willing to travel on my dime. And my passport's current."

Along with her passport, she can also bring her experience as a fashion and advertising photographer. And who doesn't love a photographer that can make a bride look like a model? I mean hellooooo…

How Vogue-alicious is this photo!?

I'm just itchin' to tell you about her discount for OBBs and show you some of her recent offbeat wedding porn. Like zees…

Oh you Austin brides. I'm still so jealous of your access to long-time Offbeat Bride sponsor, Whitney Lee Photography. Whitney recently sent me these photos of Leah & Evan (and baby Ada's!) Chinese/Jewish wedding, and I'm just blown out.

You've got to see these shots of the breastfeeding bride, elegantly non-matching bridesmaids, and all the details…

Photo Pink is a duo of NYC-based wedding photographers who live to capture the honest and authentic moments of a wedding — not the "you stand here, they stand here" stiff portraits. As they say, "You want to spend your wedding day with your friends and family, not with your photographers (no matter how cool we may be."

And oh, they are cool. Since both Liesl and Randy are vegetarian, they specialize in animal-friendly wedding albums — including gorgeous linen, metal, pleather, and hardcover books. If you want a leather wedding album, they can get you in touch with someone … but I really appreciate how they've integrated their values into their business.

To see more of Photo Pink work (and read all about the special offer they've got for Offbeat Brides) keep reading! Oh and clicky the photos to learn more…

Arizona based Angelina Rose Photography is a total win for offbeat brides…

First, her images are stunning. With her mix of documentary, artistic, and lifestyle photography Angelina Rose Photography has pretty much got your wedding covered on all angles. And she's got a great eye for capturing those unplanned and silly wedding moments. You know… moments like these and these and whatever's happening here. 

Second, she's willing to travel. Angelina is an East Coast girl living on the West Coast, so she's equally comfortable shooting a Connecticut wedding as she is shooting in Arizona.

"I feel that Green weddings are a movement rather than a trend." -Angelina Rose Photography

And third, she's totally eco-conscious! She offers an eco-friendly wedding photography package and, no matter what package you choose, she "gives back" by donating a percentage of your initial deposit towards one of two non-profit organizations.

What more could you ask for in a photographer? How about a special offer to offbeat brides? Well, she's got that covered too! Check it out…
