At the end of September we headed east to photograph Andy and Ryan, our first (male) gay wedding, at Swiftwater Cellars in Suncadia Resort. The couple had been together many years, and we were excited to be a part of their special day. They were really fun to work with, and the gorgeous scenery at Swiftwater made for an amazing wedding ceremony. The couple also  knows how to throw a party!

Congratulations Andy & Ryan, you make a handsome couple and we wish you much happiness in the years ahead. Your wedding was very touching and memorable, and a lot of fun too!

We returned to Smith Tower, one of our favorite wedding locations in Seattle, to photograph Lisa & Chris’ wedding day. It’s a small, intimate venue, and can be challenging to photograph. It’s full of swank and old Seattle charm. The couple was easy-going and didn’t mind exploring some of the nearby surroundings before taking the elevator up to the Chinese Room.

Dayleen & Junelle have been committed to one another for years, but this month they made it legally official! As strong supporters of marriage equality, we were over the moon to be a part of their wedding day. Congratulations ladies, you make a beautiful couple!

We had a great time photographing April & Joel’s country-inspired wedding at North High Rock Gardens in Monroe. Outdoor summer weddings in the northwest can’t be beat, especially when the weather cooperates. Congratulations April and Joel!

We headed to Orcas Island right after Christmas for an intimate wedding at Victorian Valley Chapel. It’s a tiny little building sitting in the middle of the island, surrounded by ponds, forests, and wildlife. Light streams in through the stained glass windows behind the alter, and the chapel even has a bell to ring after the ceremony. Congrats to this lovely couple, and thanks for having us photograph your wedding!
