I have just finished editing my first Medieval Themed wedding. I think most people have strong opinions on themed weddings, and many worry that having a theme takes away from the sacredness of the ceremony. I'm sure that for some audience members this may be the case, but my experience at Abigail and Matt's wedding was that the theme did not detract from the ceremony. In fact, it added an extra dimension. All of the outfits in the wedding party were hand made, and the same attention was payed to the rest of the day. The ceremony was held outside on a beautiful day with leaves in full autumn color. The reception was in a log building with a lit fireplace that gave the room a wonderful smell. The dinner tables each had a bowl of fresh vegetables, and the tables were named after mythological creatures. Each was also set with a bottle of homeade mead and a jar of honey for each guest. I really felt like the theme set a tone for the wedding that helped to explain the personalities and beliefs of the couple. I'm not sure how many people have themed weddings, but I would love to photograph another one.
They look so good for their wedding!!! I bet it was great.
