Ok let’s just start out by saying I adore this couple :)  Yea sure I’v only met them a few times BUT they’re just so darn nice and fun to be around!  Their wedding was dare I say it “perfect.”  BEAUTIFUL day, gorgeous location (check out floriangardens.com), surrounded by friends and family, and a rockin reception (complete with sugar shots *see below*)!  With such a cute couple with outstanding style you can see how it took me a few hours to write this post!!!  It wasn’t writing the post but picking through all the great details!  Check out my favorites below :) :)

Did I mention that Megan is gorgeous?! AND I love birdcage veils!!

AH! THIS IS WHY I LOVE MY JOB :) :)

They each chose their favorite cookies and had cookie bags for guests to help themselves, love this idea!

This was their grandparent’s 50th wedding anniversary cake topper, how cute!

And I think I shall end this post with…sugar shots??!!?!? Yea..pretty sure somebody in this group invented these.. haha! I still have to try this sometime ;)

Megan & David’s wedding day came & I couldn’t be more excited.  Not only did I have the opportunity to photograph her & David, but her Mom, Dad, Brother & soon to be Sister-in-law in Seattle.  (Click HERE to see them)  It was so fun coming to the wedding already having built a friendship with their sweet family!

The day was beautiful with the sun out and brimming with anticipation.  My friend Kip came out & shot with me for the day and we thoroughly enjoyed David & Megan’s laid back vibe & homage to their Scottish heritage and Megan’s love for all things French.  I was floored when they told me that they had chiseled out a second photo time with them after the ceremony.  Brides, take note!  We were able to shoot at the Edmonds waterfront after the wedding…sooo pretty.

David & Megan, I love following your tweets & hearing all about your European honeymoon & Maui reception (yes, a bit jealous too!)  And when you adopt those kittens, I will be there to document it ;)


Thank you to Mr. Kiptastic…here’s one of my favorites that he took:

The next three are Kip again…

Chris and Randi were married on a beautiful gray day in April.  Somehow we avoided pouring down sheets of rain by 15 minutes- so crazy that the rain delayed a few wedding guests.  Crazy.

Well, Chris & Randi were one of those couples that really make me love my job-  they are so in love!  I loved the way they look at each other, and they are so thoughtful of one another… they are so happy.  Let’s also take a minute to talk about their beautiful blue eyes!  Holy cow- both of them…amazing.  And I was there to capture it all…can’t get much better than that!  Anyway, thank you both so much for trusting me with your day- I had so much fun with you two!

Many thanks to Tana, who second shot for me and grabbed the shot below- one of my favorites from the day!

Marco + Morgan

A sunny day in April may be a tall order for a Saturday in Western Washington, but we got it!  Marco & Morgan was married on the most beautifully perfect spring day at the Grand Holiday Ballroom in Olympia.  Morgan is the cousin of another one of my friend/client’s.  You may remember this sweet family’s blog post- so it was fun to see the family again & how big Sloane has grown!  Marco’s sweet daughter was the flower girl & I loved how they included her in every event…there were some amazingly cute kids at this wedding!  And Marco & his daughter Katelyn’s dance had me pretty choked up, it was so sweet.  Marco and Morgan are such a perfect fit for each other…it has been so great getting to know them over the past  year.  It is so amazing to see how different couples’ strengths compliment each other & to witness it right from the start.  I still can’t get over how great my “job” is.  Thanks so much for having me, I hope you guys had a blast in Disneyland!


Sloane!

On a rare and beautiful sunny February day, Mark & Brianne got married.

They are so in love.

And they make me fall more in love with what I do.

Mark & Brianne were married at Bethany Community Church in Greenlake and their reception was at Georgetown Studios.  It was a bit of a reunion for me because Mark’s older sister was one of my best friends growing up, so I loved getting to see his parents & family again.  Somewhere in his parent’s attic is video of my very first days playing basketball.  I hope no one ever finds them…

Their ceremony & reception were as relaxed & elegant as they are, and the day flew by before I even knew it.  This wedding had all of the elements of the perfect wedding…beautiful lighting, a relaxed atmosphere, a fun photo booth, sushi, homemade pies, and cherished family.  I loved how Mark & Brianne honored their family.  Brianne’s beautiful bouquet had mini photos of both their granddads & a small map of Haiti, where Brianne has spent some time living & working and is so dear to her heart.  Mark had his grandpa’s cufflinks on and his first dance with his mom was to “You are My Sunshine.”  Featuring his sweet dad on the harmonica.  I don’t think there was a single dry eye among the moms there…myself included.

Thank you so much for having me, Mark & Brianne!  I had so much fun at your wedding and enjoyed every moment.  Hopefully these photos will take the edge off of returning to real life now that you are home from Bali!
