Allyson & Bjorn are absolutely fascinating and beautiful people. Their wedding was unique in every sense of the word. The day was characterized with top Hats, fabulous steampunk elements, umbrellas, colorful old hats, corsets, metal flowers, goggles, feathery loverlies and everything old world. I love the unconventional. I love to be fascinated. I love Allyson & Bjorn. These two allowed their adoration for science and romance to shine through their fantastic steampunk inspired wedding.
Allyson & Bjorns guests came in head to toe victorian steampunk attire. I was drooling. It was a creative infusion of inspiration & romance. Allyson got herself tied into the most insanely tight corset I have ever seen and she now has my eternal womanly respect for wearing that all day! All of Allyson & Bjorn's details were a beautiful mix of steel & copper with an old world charm. This included Allyson's flowers, that were made by an ETSY artist, these flowers were one continuous band of steel bent and molded into the shape of a bouquet. And their wedding rings were the most amazing things I had seen, they were armillary spheres and were able to shape into a full sphere through moving the bands around (there is a photo in this post).
Allyson & Bjorn are two of the most intelligent, original and witty people that you could ever meet. Allyson is the youngest person I have ever met to have her PHD. These two are insanely gifted. Just having them as clients makes me feel at least ten times more intelligent ;) They are off gallivanting the world right now on their honeymoon in Iceland & the Maldives (I wish I could have fit in their suitcase for that trip!).

Congratulations for the images. It made me feel how special this wedding was.
Sorry we couldn't make it. It looks like it was absolutely fabulous, just like Allyson herself. I do want to know the name of the song and the artist who sings it -- please?

SaRAH! This is incredible. As an Englsih teacher and librarian, I am obsessed with the fingerprint that Steampunk has left on literature and film. It is so great to see it played out in such a tangible way in this wedding. Beautifully shot!
