Erica and Nick...Married in Seattle!!

 

Not even rain could put a damper on this beautiful day....Erica and Nick just smiled, changed their plans, and went on with the day.  Erica said she always wanted a fall wedding, she just didn't know it would be in the middle of August.  What an amazing attitude!!  Ali and I photographed Erica and Nick's beautiful day a couple of weeks ago at Shilshole Bay Beach Club in Seattle.  The wedding was planned to be an outdoor event, but due to the rain it was moved in doors.  Jessica, the event coordinator and the staff at the Beach Club did an amazing job of rolling with the punches, and making things work.  The bouquets and center pieces were beautiful...thanks to Christopher Flowers.  And, in the end, two people who truely love one another got married, and the day was perfect!  This is one VERY amazing couple!  Ali and I enjoyed every second we got to spend with them throughout the process of photgraphing them....there Engagement Session, dinner at their favorite hang out, and finaly the BIG day.  Together they have a care free, relaxed, and fun loving attitude and it's easy to see why they love each other.

Viv and Jen....Married!! A Beautiful day at Willows Lodge!

Ali and I had never worked at Willows Lodge before....WOW, what a beutiful venue!  We always like to show up early, but especially to a new venue.  We arrived about an hour before pictures were set to begin and ran in to Viviano in the lobby.  He was looking excited and happy and well, maybe a little nervous.  It worked out perfect that we ran into Viv because he was able to give us the tour.....it really is an AMAZING venue!  After our tour we found the girls...mostly ready, looking beautiful, and this amazing day was off to a great start!

This was truly a beautiful day, an amazing celebration of two people who are very in LOVE and two families that couldn't be happier for them.  The ceremony was officiated by Annemarie Juhlian, she does such a nice job.  The ceremony was fun, light hearted, warm, and loving just like Viv and Jen.  Ali and I had so much fun working with the brand new Mr. and Mrs.... and their family and friends were an absolute joy.  The entire day was a smooth sailing and joyous occasion....YAY!!  Congratulations Viv and Jen!

Ali and I also photographed Viv and Jen's Engagement Session.  If you haven't seen it, be sure to check it out!

Jocelyn and Matt.....Married at Newcastle Golf Club!

 

Jocelyn and Matt were married on July 9th at Newcastle Golf Club it's just outside of Seattle with and amazing view of the city.  Ali and I had the honor of photographing this beautiful wedding!  The weather was beautiful, in fact, it was so warm and sunny it was hard to believe we were in the Seattle area.  Jocelyn and Matt have an amazing group of family and friends, which made the day even more special.  All in all it was a beautiful wedding, and a perfect day!

Ali and I couldn't be happier for our new friends! This was a wedding day that most certainly marks the start of a long and happy life together because Jocelyn and Matt are most certainly in LOVE!

Jordan and Kari....A Seattle Engagement Session

Ali and I photographed Jordan and Kari for their Engagement Session in Seattle.  We started at the Seattle Center, then Gasworks park, and Freemont area.  What an awesome day...finally summer arrives!  Engagement Sessions are so much fun, and they are the perfect way to ger comfortable with being in front of the camera.  No pressure, no worries, just a fun, romantic way to spend the day with your soon to be hubby.    Jordan and Kari are GREAT and it didn't take them long at all to warm up to the camera.  It just doesn't get any better than a sunny afternoon, a few laughs, a few kisses, and a few thoughts of the upcoming BIG day!!

Erica and Nick....Seattle Center Engagement Session

 

Erica is no longer a bridesmaid...she's about to be a bride....YAY!!

 

Ali and I first met Erica when she was a bridesmaid at Chris and Courtney's wedding....it was one of our favorites from last year.  Now Erica and Nick are getting married, and Ali and I are thrilled to be a part of it!!

 

We photographed their Engagement Session last week at the Seattle Center on a beautiful Thursday afternoon.  It was one of those days that really makes me appreciate what we do, getting to spend the day photographing a great couple, wandering around Seattle Center on a warm and sunny afternoon.....soooooo perfect!!  Erica and Nick are Great!  Erica made it clear that having her picture taken wasn't on the top of her list of favorite things to do....and aparrently Nick doesn't even allow pictures while on vacation.   I'm sorta wondering if that was all a front because they look comfortable and happy in front of the camera to me....and Ali and I had no problem capturing some amazing images of the two of them!!  Next stop....wedding day!!
