Wildly In Love… (Olympia Golf & Country Club, Wedding, Olympia, WA}

Ron and Laura are exuberant, funny and enjoy living life with passion.  They wanted a wedding that was fairly low key–more of a fun celebration with their friends and family, and dancing into the night.  And that is exactly what they did!  After a sweet ceremony, guests enjoyed passed hors ‘oeuvres and cocktails. As Laura and Ron began their first dance, a lovely slow waltz to “At Last,” the music screeched to a halt, switched to a latin tempo number and they ROCKED a smoking sexy salsa number!!  It was unbelievable!  The surprises didn’t stop there though.  Laura’s friends have an inside joke with the Beyonce song “All the Single Ladies” and they proceeded to keep the wedding couple laughing as they performed the music video choreography–sooo great!  That set the tone for the evening and the DJ kept people on the floor the entire evening with great music.  I must confess, I was having a difficult time restraining myself from joining in… who doesn’t LOVE to dance!!  Congratulations!!  Cheers to many more years of dancing! #8865#8859DSC_9983-Edit

Summer Sizzling, Engagement Portrait Session, Olympia, WA

I love the feel of the sun on my skin.  It instantly calms me.  So I’ve been celebrating each day this week as the sun makes her glorious appearance.  It was a perfect evening for an engagement session as Laura, Ron and I headed out.  Nearly 83 degrees, we all agreed that a refreshing, cool cocktail would likely be the best way to begin our session.  (I love these two immensely…)  Entering The Brotherhood –a perfect little hideaway: cool, dark and sexy. Grey Goose martinis, tart olives and rum for Ron, done and done.  We then braced ourselves for the warmth and spent the rest of the evening smiling.  Who wouldn’t be smiling with friends who break out a bottle of Macallan 25 year old scotch… The glowing illumination of Glassy Babies and the outdoor fire place was as close to a perfect way to end and evening as it comes–thanks to Susan and Scott for their gracious hospitality.  I can’t wait to photograph their wedding celebration at the Olympia Golf & Country Club next month–it’s going to be all kinds of crazy, in the very best way : )  Cheers to you both!

Oh Just One More… Power Green Couple Wedding, Olympia, WA

OK, it’s nearly 2:30 in the morning and I have to leave for the airport in less than three hours…why even go to bed at this point, right?  Besides, I’m still riding the energy high from Josh & Sarah’s beautiful wedding today.  This couple is completely adorable.  They’ve been together for 10 years–since their mid teens, and were high school and college sweethearts.  They now run a cool startup: www.GreenCupboards.com for everything you could need to run a green household!  I LOVE my clients! How does this happen? How is it that I seem to work with only the sweetest, most wonderful people?  I don’t know, but I do feel grateful for each and every one : )  Here are a few images from their day… More later, but I should probably finish packing.
