April Showers Wedding {Alderbrook, Union, WA}

Spring weddings are just so pretty, with a color palette that is soft and hopeful. The sudden rain showers, followed by bursts of bright sunshine, the freshness so desperately needed after long, grey winter months, the perfect transition as we navigate towards the vibrancy of summer.

I love it when a couple knows who they are–not just who they are individually, but who they are as a couple, and incorporate that stylistically into their wedding theme. Jeff and Shelby nailed it. Starting with the quintessential PNW wedding venue, Alderbrook Resort, to their vintage/nautical decor, having their beloved furry faced Luna in attendance, and the delicious menu–the entire celebration was a sublime reflection of their laid back demeanor and understated elegance. Shelby was a vision in her Tadashi Shoji wedding gown, and the whimisical succulents in her bouquet by Fleurae was a flawless background for the special shell as an homage for Jeff’s Mom. It was an absolute honor to spend the day with them capturing the lovely celebration. Cheers to many happy years together, both lakeside and beyond. xoxo

Bring on the Party! {Olympia Waterfront Wedding, Olympia, WA}

Dan and Gabi were all about celebrating with their guests, I nearly had to beg them for photo time! This couple is so outgoing and positive–they have tons of friends and the entire group knows how to have a GOOD time : ) Whoa, I mean a REALLY good time… They’ve relocated to Nashville while Gabi’s finishes nursing school–and both were happy to be back in the “cool” northwest –a welcome respite from the crazy humid heat back east. And wouldn’t you know that their wedding day ended up in the high 80’s? It was a beautiful day–I’ll take sun and heat over a rainy wedding day anytime.

I’m fairly certain they will need me to accompany them to Thailand later in the year for complete honeymoon coverage… right?! I haven’t been able to persuade any of my wedding clients to take me on their honeymoon yet… but I’m trying : ) haha

Crazy Love–Carnivale Style, Olympia, WA

My clients have such great style–who else can pull off Chuck Taylors, rockabilly hair and a suit? Ale looked like Maria from the Westside story with her adorable summer dress and cardigan. Blue and Ale came ready for a playful engagement session at the carnivale. We opted to head there early, before the gates opened to avoid crowds. What an eerie feeling–the carnivale was totally deserted. I kept half expecting zombies to emerge from the haunted house… We then made our way to another deserted locale, a cool old lumberyard and warehouse. Great images! Thanks for being adventurous you two! Congrats and can’t wait for the wedding : )
