There is not much more I can say besides this is one of the most visually epic weddings I have been blessed to get to photograph, and not only that, it was picked up to be featured by Rock N Roll Bride.

It’s hard to find another wedding quite like Megan and Pasha’s “Burning Man” themed wedding in the forest of Northern California in Precious Forest, Ca. After traveling 4,000 ft. up to the top of a mountain for their unforgettable five day event, guests were met with tents, campsites, and a completely DIY (do it yourself) wedding put together by the couple. Both being on their second wedding, these two knew that they wanted something completely them, and completely hand-made.

“In the spirit of the Burning Man principles of radical self-expression and self-reliance, we decided to make lots of things ourselves. I hand-made and hand-painted over 80 wire flower sculptures, all of the bouquets, the boutonnieres (which lit up!), created 6ft tall flower lanterns to decorate the camp grounds, and made a unicorn and a zebra bust to decorate the altar. My mom, sister, maid of honour, and I decorated the venue and created the table displays. I also baked the cakes. Seeing all the hard work come to fruition was incredibly gratifying.”

My favorite take away from this entire event, besides the stories that I get to tell, is just how “them” their wedding ended up being. I know that a long of couples try and make everyone happy when planning their events, but at the end of the day the only people that need to be happy are the couple.

Megan summed it up nicely by saying, “I loved that we made our wedding so incredibly personal”, she concluded. “It was creative and beautiful and really reflected our personalities and our relationship. We definitely had fun with it!”

If you’re looking for some amazing Vegan recipes, definitely check out their blog and business Carrots and Flowers. Focused on plant-based food that is tasty, these two make an incredible team and one that I am still so excited to get to have witnessed.
