Happy Anniversary, Heidi and Tim!
Heidi and Tim had their wedding and celebration at
The Palace Ballroom in downtown Seattle, renowned for its excellent catering.
Heidi had her makeup done by
Jennifer Verador, who did an amazing job:
I love Heidi's mom's reaction when she saw her in her wedding dress for the first time:
After the ceremony, we got to do some cool downtown couple pics:
Sharing a little private time at the end of the ceremony:
Congratulations, Tim and Heidi!

The whole family:
Their sweet ceremony:
I love to take pictures of the happy couple right after the ceremony:
Their reception was super fun, with a "game show" to test the guests' knowledge of Cheryl and Isaac's relationship:
Happy Anniversary, Isaac and Cheryl! I hope things are going great for you in Colorado.

Happy Anniversary, Mariana and Dan!
Mariana and Dan had a wonderful ceremony and reception at
The Woodmark Hotel. The girls started in one of the hotel's huge rooms (also the honeymoon suite). Each of the bridesmaids had a dress in a different style and color, which looked great. They all seemed to match effortlessly.
Mariana carried her grandmother's bouquet, which had been preserved for over 25 years!
Mariana and Dan with their fun Mariachi band, the
Mariachi Monarcas:
Congratulations on your one-year anniversary, Dan and Mariana!

Olivia and Andy, May 17th
Olivia and Andy's day was so filled with love and happiness that the time just seemed to fly by. The day started with me photographing Olivia preparing at the couple's apartment, while Bob hung out with Andy and the guys downtown. After a couple of pictures in the gorgeous lobby of their building (where Olivia showed her proficiency with a pool cue), we travelled to Kubota Gardens for Olivia and Andy's "first look." Andy was so wowed by Olivia, and they spent a few minutes just catching up and enjoying each other while Bob and I took pictures (please click on any picture to see it larger).
Their flowergirl, although shy in front of the camera, was so cute. She was very intent on picking up all the flower petals that had been strewn on the grass :). Although Olivia and Andy had a tent and umbrellas just in case, they had glorious, glorious weather. They had a small personal ceremony, with their friends and family sitting around them in a circle. They had two officiants-- Andy's Aikido sensei and Olivia's advisor from her graduate program. Andy's mom and Olivia's dad also spoke at their wedding, as well as Olivia's maid of honor and Andy's best man. All of the speeches were so touching, and made the event more personal for and relevant to the couple.
After the ceremony, Andy and Olivia travelled to the reception site in a stylish vintage vehicle. I got to go with them and take pictures. This part of the day, right after the ceremony, is one of my favorite times for pictures as the emotions from the ceremony are so present. Olivia and Andy were adorable together in the back of the car.
We arrived at the Seattle World Trade Center for the reception. Andy and Olivia had made their unique guestbook, as well as a "placecard lamp." The table settings were beautiful and unique, each with a different word for a value important to the couple. They sat at the "LOVE" table, of course.
The guests enjoyed the cocktail hour, and then the couple was announced.
I just loved the map on the ceiling in this room-- it so perfectly symbolized the unity of this couple-- from different places of the world, but in the same place in their hearts.
We wish you all the happiness in the world, Olivia and Andy!

Happy Birthday, Cat!
It is my sister's birthday today. She is far away :(, but we had a great time on her last visit. We went to Matthews Beach Park and downtown and took some pictures. Here are a few of my faves:
Happy Birthday, Cat! I hope you're having a great one!

Happy Anniversary, Cristina and Eric!
Cristina and Eric got married at the beautiful
Molly Ward Gardens in Poulsbo. Their wedding was relaxed and fun.
The goofy groomsmen in their beanies:
I love this expression on Cristina's Dad's face right before he escorts her down the aisle:
The adorable flowergirl:
The happy couple:
Happy one-year anniversary, Cristina and Eric! I hope this first year has been great for you.
