Friends and family gathered to celebrate Wendy & Cam’s 20th anniversary–this time with a wedding thrown into the mix. It was a lustrous, warm afternoon–the kind of day that stretches it’s warmth into the evening, only to be quickly replaced by that distinct Autumn chill. Set in their charming backyard, accented with ripe plums dangling like sweet ornaments, Wendy and Cam exchanged vows on the back steps of their home standing alongside both of their sweet daughters. Full of humor and tenderness, these two amazing people acknowledged the many years of commitment they have shared and promised one another many more. It was honest, funny and full of gratitude–gratitude for their families, for their community and for one another. I was so very proud to have been asked to document this important occasion : ) I think their smiles say it all… Cheers to another 20 years!! xoxo
Matt’s childhood baby bonnet was tucked into Missy’s bouquet. 
And the Rock of Gilbrater, a family heirloom, found it’s place around Missy’s neck after spending some time with Moet & Chandon…
Missy’s Dad quickly teared up seeing her in the gown.
And family members were lovingly adorned with bursts of fall color.
Everyone needed just a smidge of lips…
And the nervous bride took a moment before heading out to the dock to see her groom.
Just a tiny bit happy…
And a tiny bit nervous…
And then a LOT happier…
Her God-daughter was the picture perfect flower girl. Those curls could possibly be illegally adorable.
And the groomsmen, well, they were ready with their “Fire Powah”
A dash of Charlie’s Angels.
And how often do you have Secret Service men as your groom attendants?
These tackle ball fans paid tribute with their cake. USC and WSU colors fit perfectly with the fall theme.
And an adorable harpist set the tone for cocktail hour by the water.
The night wore on and true colors began to emerge…a sense of humor is an absolute necessity when entering marriage. Can I get a HOLLA? Congrats Missy and Matt–enjoy California but you’ll be back… : ) xox Cortney
When planning an outdoor wedding in the Northwest, there is one gamble that looms large…the weather. Jeff and Kelly had a wonderful, intimate September wedding with close friends in their secluded slice of heaven, nestled in the forrest. 
Just one little tweak to their plan, rain. But as true Northwesterners, the rain was simply a well moisturizing addition to the fun of their celebration. 
Kelly walked shyly down the aisle as raindrops softly fell around her.
As she took her place next to her teary eyed groom, it was as if they were the only two people in the world. They did more than smile one another, they radiated love. 
It was such a sweet ceremony, with a quick retreat down the aisle guests made their way to the shelter of the tents, decorated in perfect fall fashion.
I was so glad we had the barn to setup the photo booth area. 
As the evening drew to a close, Jeff serenaded his lovely bride, all as the rain continued to softly fall. Congratulations Kelly and Jeff! Thanks for allowing me to capture the sweetness… xoxo
