Why did you have an intimate wedding?

We had an intimate wedding because it’s just us. They way we are. We weren’t “big” wedding people. We are really close to our friends and family and we didn’t want to spread ourselves so thin on our special day. And going into massive debt for our wedding isn’t us either. So having an intimate wedding was perfect for us and made the day that more special.

What are some the challenges that you faced planning an intimate wedding?

Cutting down the invite list.

Did you have any issues with the small guest list from friends and family? If so, how did you address them?

We had both family and friends that we couldn’t invite and you just have to let them know it is nothing personal, you would love to have them there but there isn’t enough room. But we did have an “after party” that everyone was invited to.

What were the highlights of the reception?

What was the best thing about having an intimate wedding?

Being able to socialize and see all our family and friends. Also we could have the wedding ceremony right next to the reception location.

What advice do you have for couples who are considering an intimate wedding?

Remember that this is for you, so don’t feel pressure to do things that are not you. As far as budget, make sure when you talk to your vendors to get an itemized list or a price break down of what is included in the cost. You’ll be able to see things to cut that you don’t need or could use less of. And if you need help finding vendors, a wedding planner comes in handy; they know everyone in the business.

This business has paid a fee to be listed on offbeatbride.com because they feel their wedding products and services are in-line with offbeat brides’ philosophies and needs … and I agree. Here’s more info about how advertising works on offbeatbride.com.

NonFiction Weddings is a wife-and-husband wedding photography team (willing victims of their own offbeat wedding, nearly fifteen years ago) based in Seattle, Washington. They are dedicated to telling the real, the whole, the hilarious and the beautiful story your wedding. Because, let's be honest, you won't get to see all of your wedding, but NonFiction Weddings will!

You've seen their work once before, but now they're back with a special offer (and some more fabulous wedding porn) for offbeat brides!

The great thing about booking NonFiction Weddings is that their package always includes TWO photographers, which is why they're able to capture the real and entire story of your wedding. So while Amy is capturing the bride multitasking in anticipation of the ceremony…

…Scott is capturing a flower girl going rogue. (HA! That picture kills me.) And their all-day coverage (up to 10 hours) is at a super reasonable price.

"When a wedding couple says to us, 'We are thinking about surprising everyone by putting the picture of our kid's ultrasound portrait on the bottom of the guests' chairs,' or 'There will be one part of the ceremony dedicated to creating a group finger painting,' or, 'The vows? We are going to improv them and then leap, holding hands, from the stone wall we're balanced on into a symbolic salmon river," we know we got a good match." -Amy from NonFiction Weddings

So if ya think that you and NonFiction weddings would be a good match, head over to their website and get them to capture your ENTIRE wedding story from start to finish.

Offbeat Discount:

NonFiction weddings is offering a free engagement portrait session (a $350 value) when you book your wedding through Offbeat Bride. They've even provided you guys with a super secret link to the offer.
