Rebecca & Scott’s Seattle Wedding!

I love my job. And it’s couples like Rebecca and Scott that make me love my job even more. They are fun, sincere, and really love each other. There was so much joy on their big day!

They met each other at a photography meetup, so they are both into photography, too. You might remember they used vintage cameras in their engagement shoot. At their wedding, they had their friend Danny go around and take Polaroid photos of all of the guests. They got some great shots from what I could tell. Good fun!

The wedding was held at a church on Greenlake, which just happens to be a fabulous place to take wedding photos. What a gorgeous day (chilly but gorgeous). After that, they had an old Bentley (with driver) take them down to their reception at the fabulous Blue Ribbon Cooking School - a great venue next to the Lake Union houseboats - a perfect locale for a sit-down dinner party.

And would you just LOOK at how happy they are!! Sigh. They are just such an amazing couple and I’m honored to have been the one to document the day for them. It was beautiful from beginning to end.

Congratulations, Mr. and Mrs. Mongrain! :-) Here are my favorite photos from the day. And I almost forgot to note that the absolutely FABULOUS Kristel Wyman of Vancouver, BC, came down from Canada to shoot this event with me. I could not have done so well without her. She is a fabulous partner!

And now, they are on to the “living happily ever after” part.

Melissa & Brian’s Wedding at Clise Mansion!

This was not only the first wedding of the season this year, but a lovely morning wedding! (Most weddings are in the afternoon or evening.) I really adored working with this couple and their three children. You will see (most notably during “the kiss”) that their youngest had some issues during the ceremony (fell down and cut herself) so ended up being part of the ceremony. Aside from her getting hurt, it was the cutest thing ever.

Thanks to Kristel Wyman, who came all the way from Vancouver, BC to assist me with this wedding. Here are some of the highlights of the day!
