Sweet Nautical/Bohemian Wedding {Alderbrook Resort, Union, WA}

I have been looking forward to this sweet wedding celebration all summer!  I’ve known Liv since she was in high school–she’s like a sister to me.  Liv is one of those people who can tackle anything, and she does it with grace, passion and perfection.  I knew her wedding was going to be full of creativity, playfulness and elegance and, of course… it was.  She pulled in nods to the Hawaiian Islands, the Pacific Northwest, and added a touch of whimsy to her decor.  Her sweet Groom Jake, absolutely ADORES her!  It’s so wonderful to see the way he looks at her.  Ahhhh, love!  I am beyond happy for them both!  I love events at Alderbrook, it highlights the very reason why we love it here in the Pacific Northwest, it’s perfection, rain and all.  Guests settle in more, making it a weekend full of celebrations–you see friendships made and others strengthened, and even more fun to run the “highlight” reel the following morning…Wonderful wedding, sweet people and a smashing dance party!  Cheers to Mr. & Mrs. Bourne!_DSC2128 _DSC2474-Edit_DSC2479-Edit_DSC2468-Edit_DSC2476-Edit _DSC2282_DSC2570_DSC2278 _DSC2594-Edit _DSC2630 _DSC2740 _DSC2763 _DSC2766_DSC2833 _DSC2837 _DSC2839 _DSC2844 _DSC2847 _DSC2849 _DSC2852 _DSC2894 _DSC2898-Edit _DSC2904-Edit _DSC2921-Edit _DSC2958-Edit _DSC2994 _DSC3052-Edit _DSC3055-Edit _DSC3073 _DSC3745-Edit _DSC3746 _DSC3775 _DSC3781-Edit _DSC3679-Edit _DSC3791 _DSC3825_DSC3627-Edit_DSC3702_DSC3691_DSC4149_DSC4131_DSC4184_DSC4185_DSC4116   _DSC4127

Rustic Country Themed Wedding {Kelly Farm, Buckley, WA}

What a whirlwind of sweetness!  I was so thrilled to be asked by Brad and Nayeli to capture their wedding celebration at an amazing new venue–The Kelly Farm.  Located in Buckley, it was tucked just off the road to Crystal Mountain, a route I know well…  As this ridiculous summer weather rolls on day after sun filled day, we were fortunate to find a bit of shade, perfect for portraits.  Brad was the smiliest groom I have ever seen, and it only grew wider and more twinkly every time he caught a glance of his perfect bride.  Nayeli was truly radiant–surrounded by her lovely friends and family, she eased through the day with complete grace.  I love calm and happy bridal parties!  As she emerged from the Bridal cottage with her Father, the mariachi band sounds lifted into the country evening.  I was on sensory overload with the beautiful floral designs, the rustic handmade touches, topped of with Brad’s family ranch brand burned into log rounds atop each table, perfect.  The couple and their family danced on into the night with unabashed happiness and vigor, which may or may not have been fueled by tequila… my kind of party!  Congratulations Brad and Nayeli!! The best of times are still ahead, and I’m pretty sure you’ll know how to manage… : )
