Rebekah & Jonathan: Harvest Wedding

Fall may very well be my favorite time of year. It’s the time for harvest and celebration, family gatherings and great food, accented by bright colors and crisp, cool air. As Rebekah and Jonathan’s harvest wedding at Hidden Meadows drew closer, Airika & I grew even more excited about capturing the richness of emotion and detail that was sure to present itself at their wedding.



The first look.

After their first look, we headed out to Stocker Farms to explore their corn maze (They gave us a free tour!)






Erin Lindeman did an incredible job with the event decor. The details were absolutely amazing!


Such a beautiful location... not to mention that the light is perfect at this time of day!

Let the dancing begin!

One last goodbye...

Congratulations Rebekah and Jonathan! Be sure to check back next week for your slideshow!

Melanie and Chuck's Wedding at Willows Lodge

We hit it off with Melanie & Chuck from the very first meeting. We were sitting outside in the rain at the UVillage Starbucks when we discovered our shared love for travel, wine, and good food. The perfect match was confirmed when they told us that they wanted to set aside three hours on their wedding day for portraits in Seattle--yes please! They always made us feel welcome and frequently reminded us that they chose us not only because of our photographic abilities, but because they really liked the idea of actually getting to know their vendors--people who they truly wanted to share their day with. We couldn't ask for more--for us, the joy in photographing weddings is not only found in the art we create, but in the relationships that we build with our couples. Melanie & Chuck, thank you for sharing a glimpse into your lives and for allowing us the privilege to capture your beautiful wedidng day. We're looking forward to our next round of Grand Mariner prawns at the Willows Lodge Happy Hour! :) ~Airika & Gerald










Stay tuned for our next post...Melanie & Chuck's slideshow!

Tara & Matt's Wedding

There's just something about the warmth of the sun that brings a smile to my face. Mostly sunny skies equals a very happy day. The entire week leading up to Tara and Matt's wedding, Airika and I were checking the weather reports, hoping and praying that the weatherman would change his mind about their wedding day. Thankfully, the weather ignored the forecast, and a bright shining ball of happiness showed up for the party. :) It was particularly sweet because it meant that Tara and Matt could move forward with their plans for a stunning outdoor wedding at Rock Creek Gardens.



As you may recall from Tara & Matt's preview post, they rented a few umbrellas from Bella Umbrella just in case the weatherman had been correct. Tara's half of the wedding party...

...and Matt's half of the wedding party. It was amazing to see how much support these two have from their friends and family.

Like I said earlier, their wedding was stunning! I absolutely love the bright colors they selected.



Married!

I'm definitely a sucker for candy... and I'm pretty proud that I was able to refrain from walking off with the jar of Reese's Pieces.






Congratulations Tara and Matt! We are so excited for you and your new life together!
