Sarah and Chris Are Engaged!
April 1, 2011 | Posted in Engagements, Portraits by Jackie
I am very excited to be shooting the upcoming wedding of fellow wedding photographer, Sarah Mitzel and her fiance, Chris. The wedding will be in Lake Chelan in May. How perfect!
Sarah and I actually shot a wedding together last year and I met Chris at that time, who was doing video. What a perfect pair–talented, warm-hearted, and beautiful.
I really enjoyed my photo session with them, where we walked all over downtown Seattle and the Pike Place Market. Here are some of the highlights from that afternoon.
…Introducing a Fabulous Rue La La Special…
On February 4th and 5th, we will be presenting a rare wedding package special. Six hours of high-end wedding photography by Jackie and her assistant, as well as a $150 print credit, all of which will cost only $1,599 through Seattle’s Rue La La daily boutique! Check them out and, if you’re a prospective bride, please consider this deal. You’ll need to sign up with Rue La La if you haven’t already. I am a member and absolutely love their daily deals, ranging from fashion shoes to incredible local dinner packages. They are well worth checking out!
If you are coming here after seeing the Rue La La special, I encourage you to call us at (206) 228-6284 to reserve your date (and make sure we’re still available).

April & Becky (or: Best Wedding EVER)
Last month, April and Becky tied the knot at a friend’s property on Vashon Island (a short ferry ride from Seattle). It was a truly fabulous wedding from start to finish. First of all, Becky is a fairly new friend of mine, and I absolutely love her to pieces. So, seeing our mutual friends, and watching her marry the girl of her dreams, made the day very special. I also loved their 1920s and 1930s theme. So many guests dressed up in costume; it was fabulous! Becky’s brother’s band, the Tin Pan Band (check them out!) flew in from New York to play for the occasion. Every single song was amazing. In addition to that, a swing-dance group came in and gave everyone swing-dance lessons. And since Becky’s family is Jewish, at the end of the night, they threw in some Jewish tradition by playing “Hava Nagila” and doing the Hora (carrying the couple around on chairs). Such good times!
The overall vibe of the day was purely celebratory. There was so much love and joy and excitement, it was palpable. Congratulations to a very lucky couple. I’m so very happy you have found each other, April and Becky!
Here are some photographic highlights from the big day.
Julia & Damon’s Museum Wedding!
Julia and Damon met several years ago and have an adorable son, Cedar, together. (You might remember their engagement shoot from a couple of months ago.) They finally decided to take the plunge and got married in Seattle’s historic Frye Museum. It was, in fact, the very first wedding ever conducted at the museum! The wedding was absolutely lovely, and the gallery was perfect for a small, private wedding ceremony.
Julia is part of the Troupe Hipnotica tribal bellydance group, so her troupe danced at her reception to much applause, even from the little ones! It was a such a lovely wedding and I’m honored to have been a part of it all.
Here are some of my favorite highlights from the event! Enjoy.
Hope & Jim’s Church Wedding
A few weeks ago, Hope and Jim got married at their church — New Life Christian Center in Renton. What a great couple! I would describe Hope and Jim together as playful, loving, and dedicated. You can tell that they really love each other, and at the same time, they are best friends. What a great combination!
The reception was also in the same location. As always, I’m posting a few of my personal favorite highlights from the day!
Enjoy!
Congratulations, Mr. and Mrs. Harrigill! 
Lis & Jeff’s Beach Wedding!
When you decide to get married outdoors in Seattle, you have to be prepared for any type of weather. While Lis and Jeff’s Golden Gardens wedding was overcast (and, um, not so “golden”), the sun managed to shine through on their reception, held at the Carkeek Park conservation center.
This wedding was extremely SIMPLE, from beginning to end. Barefoot on the beach, and relaxing in the woods. I love these kind of laid-back, let’s-just-enjoy-this-moment events.
And to say that they love each other is clearly an understatement. They are mad about each other, and I could not be happier for their nuptials!
Here are some highlights from the day!
Elizabeth and Ryan’s San Juan Island Wedding!
RIck and I were thrilled to be Elizabeth and Ryan’s wedding photographers. They flew in from Massachusetts for a private destination wedding. They decided on a tiny family-only ceremony at South Beach on San Juan Island with a reception at the Palindaba Lavender Farm. What a spectacular day! The weather couldn’t have been better, the love couldn’t have been more apparent, and the scenery couldn’t have been more “Pacific Northwest”. We enjoyed this wedding immensely, not the least of which were the wonderful people we met there, including the fantastic bride and groom who we’d not met before they flew in.
As always, we present a gallery of selected images from the day. Enjoy!
