Queen Mary Long Beach Nightmare Before Christmas Wedding

Queen Mary Long Beach Nightmare Before Christmas Wedding. On my birthday last month, December 13th, I got to photograph probably one of the most interesting weddings I’ve ever seen. The theme of the wedding was based on Tim Burton‘s The Nightmare Before Christmas, and the wedding was on the Queen Mary in Long Beach.

The cool couple who pulled the whole thing off was Bynette and Greg. Their wedding attire was all custom made, all of the decorations were done by the bride with help from her friends, right down to the linens and the bows on the chairs. This wedding had so many intricate details, and they managed to pull it all together in only a few months. When I got into the main room where the reception was, I was in awe at how much there was to capture. I could’ve easily spent the entire wedding just photographing all the amazing details! Bynette and Greg put so many amazing and cool things together to make the wedding reception site unique. It was really like walking onto the set of the Nightmare Before Christmas!

This obviously wasn’t your typical wedding, everyone was encouraged to come in costume for one. Bryan and Scott from In the Mix Events gave everyone dance lessons to the Thriller song! They had gingerbread making, musical chairs, and singing contests, it was pretty unique and definitely a lot of fun! All of the scheduled activities and games were thought up the couple. I think they should probably quit their day jobs and start planning crazy-fun events, but that’s just my opinion. ?

Here’s a taste of their wedding day…
