Stephanie and Jerred fit this week’s Geek Week theme like an NES Power Glove. Their Monte Verde Inn wedding had Sega Genesis invitations, guitar pick favors, Mario and Luigi costumes, all on top of gorgeous retro-style hair and fashion. True Love Photo was there to capture the fun and shared it with us. We’ve got gaming controllers, a pink bouquet, and a portal cake!

Now if you get that title you are a true retro gamer ! The promise of receiving cake is a super retro game referance and was the theme of Stephanie and Jerred’s cake. Man alive did they have some cute details at their Monte Verde Inn wedding. I LOVED this couple ! So fun and vibrant, creative and original and in love ! I remember when they met with me oh so long ago they told me they could not imagine another photographer shooting their wedding. Yes, folks by all means flatter away. Since I have the taste of 12 year old girl ( and sometimes a 14 year old boy ) I was in heaven with their retro gamer theme and unique details. This couple just exuded such genuine love, orginality and zest for life. The Monte Verde Inn really delivered giving them their perfect day. Those folks sure do a great job !

I think these are my favorite wedding photos ever. Totes adorbs. You guys look like a really happy, fun couple. Thanks for the smile!
Thank you so much! Our wedding was definitely everything we could have asked for =D
These look like the funnest people I have never met.
FUN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
HAHA thank you! Everyone at our wedding had an absolute blast and that is EXACTLY how we wanted it!
Not only you but your whole freakin party looked really into everything happening around you. I love the spirit that you just emanated. Beautiful.
Thank you! We really wanted our wedding to show OUR personalities and who we are as a couple. Couldn’t have asked for a more perfect day!
Where did you get the customized guitar picks?! LOVE THEM!
My Maid of Honor found a website that custom make guitar picks…you can even get your picture on them! Much more costly of course. They were such a perfect touch since my husband plays guitar and I play the bass =D
So much gorgeousness here that I can barely breath! Bride’s absolutely breathtaking and the N64 controller makes the coolest photo-prop!
Thank you! We had a few other video game props but the N64 was definitely my favorite!
You guys remind me of my honey and I… gamer kids acting like 5-year-olds and not giving a whit what others think about that!
Kudos on gettin’ hitched!
(And is that Ash Ketchum leaping up in that one pic?)
Thank you! Our wedding couldn’t have been more perfect! Yes that is Ash Ketchum and we even had a Misty as well as a few other odd ball video game characters.
Is that a Portal cake? I thought the cake was a lie, but instead it’s awesome! … 😉
Yes it is! The cake was not a lie at our wedding =D
nice to see too people really really enjoying each others humour
Love it! You had nearly exactly what we’re doing in 5 weeks! The retro gaming, the portal cake, the Mario cube, the fifties dress, the fun! Getting so much more excited seeing how well yours went! Need to stop using exclamation marks! 😛 If you had fairies in yours, I’d think we were cloned, haha
I love your veil, where did you get it. 🙂
Your husband’s boutonniere – are those perler bead Mario flowers? I’m making Pacman ghosts for our groomsmen and Sonic the Hedgehog for my groom. Pacman cake. I also have Bob-omb tattoos, so it’s kind of a retro gaming theme + music geeks.
