Cemetery Wedding

Gay Wedding, Offbeat Brides, Wedding / ,

Cemetery Wedding Roberta and Cu held their cemetery wedding at the Sacramento Historic City Cemetery on Halloween, putting together the most unique wedding idea I have ever experienced! In their planning of their wedding day, they sought out vendors and venues to carry out their ideas, but came across a little trouble finding people who could accommodate their unique sense of style. Fortunately, they found me on Offbeat Bride, which is a website dedicated to nontraditional Couples and ideas such as hosting your very own cemetery wedding! Together with 30 of their family and closest friends on Halloween day, they held their cemetery wedding inside a mortuary chapel where they brought liveliness to an other-wise gloomy setting. With a majority of guests dressed in all black, and some in actual costumes, at first glance you would imagine this union was for a funeral. Judging from the big smiles and laughter heard throughout the day, one would soon realize it was an occasion to celebrate the most joyous of days!Wanting to personalize most aspects of the day to themselves, Cu made all the cemetery wedding related decorations, including a coffin shaped ring box to match their coffin shaped rings. Equally as impressive and unique as the rings themselves, Roberta stunned as she walked down the aisle wearing a custom Videnoir Couture vampire shawl as her own take on the traditional wedding dress. It was easily the most unique wedding I have ever photographed and I hope to encounter more Offbeat Brides because I love the uniqueness of the Couples and their ideas.

Anderson Hall Wedding

Wedding / ,

Anderson Hall Wedding Robert and Ricky had a slight change of plans for their Anderson Hall wedding, but that didn’t stop them having the best day ever! Anderson Hall, in Camp Meeker, is a hidden gem amongst the redwood trees and creeks in Sonoma County that add to the perfect setting for an outdoor wedding. Having an outdoor ceremony to take advantage of the gorgeous redwoods was the plan up until 2 hours before the Ceremony start time. Unfortunately, their wedding date coincided with one of the (few) bigger storms Northern California had had in years! The heavy rain made an outdoor ceremony uncomfortable so they instead had it done indoors at the reception hall, squeezing in amongst the dining tables and chairs. This setup, however tight, only made the gathering more intimate as the emotions of the moment quickly came over the Grooms almost immediately once they started…and all the worry of the weather quickly went away. Fortunately, the rain only lasted an hour at the start of the day, so the rest of the evening went as planned outdoors with dancing and many smiles. Family group portraits in the rain might be my new favorite thing to shoot, however! Going over images of grumpy kids with wet clothes and the adults embracing the wet weather with huge smiles made getting soaked photographing this Andersen Hall wedding totally worth it.
