Claudia and Rafe, September 6th
Claudia and Rafe had such a unique wedding. It was at
Thornwood Castle, a beautiful, grand old manor in Lakewood.
Claudia and her bridesmaids:
The cute ringbearer and flowergirl were brother and sister:
I love these two pre-ceremony pictures. I was with Claudia, and got the shot of her on the staircase, while Bob was outside and took the cute picture of the girls with the statue.
Their ceremony was in the gorgeous gardens:
After the ceremony, Rafe and Claudia went on a romantic carriage ride, driven by
Emerald Country Carriages. I rode in the front and took pictures of the happy, newly-married couple:
Claudia and Rafe had a caricaturist (Steve Hartley of
All About Faces Entertainment) at their wedding, which the guests absolutely loved. It also gave people something to do during the cocktail hour.
Ending the evening with toasts and dancing:
Congratulations, Claudia and Rafe. I hope your marriage is as romantic as your wedding!

Sarah and Jack, August 3rd
Sarah and Jack got married on a beautiful August day at
Lord Hill Farms in Snohomish. They met cute online, and felt a bond almost immediately. They planned a relaxed wedding, but were a little worried about integrating their two families. Although they felt like they came from very different backgrounds, both of their families were so full of joy and life (and dancing) that I felt their spirits were actually more similar than different.
Bob captures Jack in his preparations, while I photograph Sarah putting on her dress and final touches:

Gretchen and Jeremy, August 2nd
Gretchen and Jeremy met at a coffee shop. They happened to sit at the same table, and then both returned the next week. The rest, as they say, was history.
Their wedding, at the
All Pilgrims Church on Broadway in Capital Hill, was full of color and joy.
The flowergirl and ringbearers, as well as the groomsmen, wore sketchers:

Congratulations, Gretchen and Jeremy!

Here are some fun pictures from Gretchen and Jeremy's engagement shoot downtown in Pioneer Square (please click on any picture to see it larger):
Jeremy and Gretchen were great to hang out with. They were not afraid to experiment and do something a little different. I really enjoy shooting downtown-- I feel like the urban atmosphere inspires my creativity.
Pictures from Gretchen and Jeremy's wedding coming soon!
