Wedding Photos at Tibbetts Creek Manor with {Shylo & Brett)

August 2009-

Genevieve and I showed up at the Tibbett's Creek Manor before anybody else. When Shylo and Brett arrived they were very casual, the perfect attitude for a summer afternoon wedding.   Shylo has great style, both her wedding dress and the bridesmaid dress were vintage.  She was a beautiful bride, very relaxed and happy, she never stop smiling. 

The Tibbetts Creek Manor is a great place for an afternoon wedding, they were catered by the Rainier Club, and their signature cocktail was Absolut Grapefruit vodka with pink grapefruit juice.
 Perfect afternoon wedding.

{Melinda & Darrin} Bainbridge Island Wedding

~Melinda and Darrin~
I've know Melinda for a few years so I was so excited to photograph her and Darrin's wedding. They were getting married in the house that Melinda grew up in,  her parents live on a gorgeous Herb farm on Bainbridge Island.   My amazing assistant Genevieve and I took the ferry over early in the morning so we could get pictures of the girls getting ready.

I love when when bride and groom agree to taking the majority of the group portraits before the ceremony, this ensures that they have more time to spend with their friends and family, and we have more time to take photos.

Their wedding was very unique, there was so much time spent on the details... They hung hand made lanterns from the trees, the bouquets that the both Melinda and the bridesmaids carried were made with flowers from her garden.  Everything was Beautiful!  Melinda and Darrin wrote their own vows, Jen and Mark performed a song when Melinda walked down the isle... barefoot.

 Dinner was served under a white tent... Everything was elegant but casual... Everyone was dancing up until the very end....


In Melinda and Darrin's words..... So this is Love

Engagement Photos {Bryan & Regan}

Engagement Photos with Bryan and Regan... I always encourage couples to do an engagement shoot before the wedding,  It's the perfect opportunity to get to know them as a couple.  Bryan & Regan were in Seattle for the weekend, fortunetely they were able to get together for a few hours before they went back hom eot Spokane.  We met at the University of Washington and walked around for a few hours. The campus is gorgeous and is a great spot for Engagement Photos. I'm super excited to be apart of their wedding this summer. 

 

{Shawn + Thalia} Gig Harbor Beach Wedding

Shawn and Thalia-
Genevieve and I had the privelage of documenting their wedding.  It was a beautiful, clear, sunny day for this awesome couple who are SO VERY MUCH in love! They were surrounded by close friends and family for an intimate ceremony on a private beach.  A friend played music as Thalia arrived beach side on a small boat. 

 

They had a close friend sketch a picture of the ceremony.

Everyone was invited to the reception which was later that day at the Gig Harbor Yacht Club-   They played a slide show of the ceremony that had video footage and photos from the ceremony.
..............another beautiful wedding
