Breaking the Rules of Traditional Weddings
Let’s just say it, you don’t have to do it like everyone else.
No white dress? Cool. Don’t want a big wedding party? Go for it. Prefer crystal crowns over flower crowns? Hell yes, let’s do that.
If you’re looking for non-traditional wedding ideas that let you throw out the rulebook and do things your way, you’re in the right place. More and more couples are ditching outdated traditions in favor of meaningful, intentional moments that reflect them. And I’m here for all of it.
Who says you have to follow the rules?
Tradition can be beautiful if it resonates with you. But if you’re feeling pressured to check off a list of must-do wedding moments (even though they don’t feel right), it’s totally okay to skip them.
Bouquet toss? Matching bridesmaids? Cake cutting? You’re allowed to say ‘no thanks’ to anything that doesn’t feel like you.
Real Non-Traditional Wedding Ideas That Just Make Sense
Here are some amazing ways couples are doing things differently and loving every second of it:
Photography That Honors the Real You
When you let go of tradition, it opens up space to create a day that’s entirely your own. As your photographer, my job is to document that honestly and beautifully, not stage it to look like something it’s not.
If you want to dance barefoot in the woods, cuddle up on a picnic blanket, or throw the timeline out the window and just exist together, I’m with you every step of the way.
Go Your Own Way (I’ll Be There With a Camera)
Your wedding doesn’t need to follow a template. It just needs to feel right for you. Whether that means crystals instead of flowers, no speeches, or pizza at midnight…go for it!
And if you’re dreaming up a wedding that breaks the rules in all the best ways, I’d love to help you tell your story.
