I'm so excited to announce that I'll be a featured wedding vendor at the Big Fake Wedding in San Diego next year! The Big Fake Wedding is a bridal show alternative complete with an emotional ceremony, a tasty dinner and a dance-party reception. "Wedding guests" are brides-and-grooms-to-be who get to truly experience the wedding vendors in action. What a way to do a bridal show, right?! 

I was actually so excited about being a part of this event that I had to go check it out for myself so off to Cali I went. Each of the Big Fake Wedding events is unique, with it's own theme and selected venue. I attended this "wedding" at the San Diego Museum of Art in the ever exquisite Balboa Park. Hear this couple's sweet story here.

I ate some good food, I danced, I sang (ok, I just hummed along to myself), and I made some new friends. All the vendors were amazing and super cool. (I just loved Jamie Dana at http://jamiedana.com. Look at her cool tattoo! You know the girl has a passion when she tattoos bobby pins on her arm.)

Now, my Vegas peps; if you are saying to yourself "I sure wish they's throw a 'Big Fake Wedding' here in Las Vegas" then let them know! Whether you want to just attend or be a vendor, all you got to do is ask! The more people who request, the more likely they will do one in that city. You can send in that request here. http://thebigfakewedding.com/contact/  As a destination wedding photographer, San Diego is a perfect place for a alternative bridal show for me but I do wish they'd do a Vegas one too.

If you'd like to buy tickets to attend the San Diego Big Fake Wedding next summer, you can buy tickets here. Hope to see you there!

Love, Rachel!
