Angelique and Seth got married on Halloween. It is their favourite holiday but they didn't want their wedding to feel like a costume party. Seth wore a suit jacket lined with skulls and jack o lantern socks. Angelique chose skull earrings and skull shoes. They both have ghost and jack o lantern tattoos, which felt like enough of a nod to the date without forcing a theme.Read more...

Rekha and Mike did not grow up seeing marriage as something to aspire to. Marriage was a practical choice for them so before they began planning, they thought they'd do something pretty simple. What shifted things was their community. Over years of attending friends’ weddings, they started to notice people doing things differently and making decisions that reflected who they actually were. These were the kind of weddings they could get on board with! After one especially full wedding season, driving home together, they asked each other a simple question: what would it be like if we had a wedding?Read more...

Dalton and Tanieka had originally planned for a big wedding. But when costs started to spiral and what they started to feel out of touch with what they were putting together, it was time for a rethink. They instead planned something much more intimate and much more them, built around places that already carried the atmosphere they wanted. The Hoh Rainforest and Ruby Beach in Olympic National Park, WA were the perfect spots. With moss hanging from trees and fog moving over the ocean, it was the perfect setting for their moody, gloomy 'til death' themed day.Read more...

Their wedding was a whimsical garden party dream come true. Merritt and Brady filled a friend's back garden with twinkly lights, disco balls, and so many flowers that it felt like stepping into a fairytale. What started as a plan to elope turned into a backyard celebration, thanks to dear friends who offered to host them. They spent four months pouring love (and a lot of labour) into making it perfect.Read more...

Katelyn and Spencer planned their wedding a $5000 budget, a state park barn location, and a strong desire to have a day which felt just the right level of spooky. The bride has been reading Rock n Roll Bride since she was 14 (!!) so as soon as they got engaged she had plenty of ideas.Read more...

For Samantha and Joseph, the music came first. Blink 182, Bay Area hip hop, pop punk classics and heavy EDM shaped the atmosphere of their wedding before anyone even walked in. Every guest arrived in black and the couple wore black too. The florals carried dark tones with a hit of mint as a nod to their matching tattoos.Read more...

Sure Thing Chapel (and their second location, Sure Thing Too) in Las Vegas has become somewhat of a pilgrimage spot for alt couples who want a kitsch, quirky Vegas wedding. We see a lot of weddings in this space. We’ve featured weddings with rhinestones, leather, Hellvis, pink suits, black veils and every combination possible. Then Zuza and Marcin walked in and the way Tree of Life Films & Photos captured them almost shifted the room into something new. We are totally obsessed with these photos and we think you will be too.Read more...

Kaley and Philip built their Tennessee wedding around the idea of something that felt Southern and gothic with Addams Family undertones. The bride had always pictured an autumn or winter celebration with deep colours, heavy foliage and romantic gothic styling. However, the date ended up being June because it marked the start of their relationship. They didn’t shift the aesthetic to match the season though - they held on to the mood that felt right for them.Read more...

This wedding shoot was a riot of neon lights. Born inside the restless brain of Brooke Conaway, founder of CAT HAUS Collective, she wanted to create something that was the opposite of boring and beige. With a Lady Gaga lookalike bride, she built this shoot as an act of rebellion - against conformity, perfectionism, and the wedding industry’s obsession with fitting in. “I’m not a traditional wedding planner,” she said. “I have ADHD, I’m plus sized, an advocate for LGBTQA+ and someone who has had to fight to ‘fit in’ including how to work with my chaos brain, not against it.”Read more...

Caridad and Frank chose a park in Bayonne, New Jersey as their wedding location because it felt like neutral ground. A place where they can just be without an audience. They didn’t want spectacle, or a big wedding. They wanted to make it official, take some photos, go home with their kids and eat dinner.Read more...
