Jamie and Scott: July 17, 2009

I have seriously lucked out with some amazing couples this year.... and Jamie and Scott are no exception. When we did their engagement session I knew that their wedding was going to be a fun time! Their bridal party was so much fun and so where their families. The ceremony and reception were held at Lairmont Manor in Fairhaven, Washington, which is so beautiful. Jamie got her dress at the famous Kleinfeld's in New York City and was even helped by Randy, who you can see on Kleinfeld's television show "Say Yes to the Dress" on TLC!

Thanks to Jamie, Scott, their bridal party and families for such a wonderful evening!

Scott's groomsman, Rudy, helps him with his tie...

I love it when I have dapper grooms that really care what they are wearing. Here Scott shows off his super cool Kenneth Cole shoes.

Jamie's bridesmaids were so much fun!

The guys trying to be cool without smiling...

I'm not sure we knew why the ring bearer was holding his arm up, but Scott decided to do it too!

Their flower girl took her time walking down the aisle... and as she walked, she would take one petal at a time and rub it on her face, then drop it. The guests loved it!

Scott sewed the cute little lovebird cake topper himself! I love the peacock feather in the boutonniere. Jamie's ring in a birds nest of robins egg candy. And J. Russell's delicious (so I heard) fruit mojitos. 

I love it when the guests clink their glasses so the couple has to kiss...

Jamie tries to hold it together while her dad gives a toast.

Jamie's grandma reminded me several times that we had to get a big family photo!

Jamie dances with her dad as her mom looks on.

Scott and Jamie were surprised by Jamie's dad with this amazing car for their getaway!

Mackenzie and Matthew: July 11, 2009

I was referred to Matt and Mackenzie by their maid of honor Courtney who was a bridesmaid in a wedding I did a couple years ago. Thanks Courtney!!!

Matt could not stop smiling whenever he looked at Mackenzie. Even when I needed him to keep a straight face for a photo, it would only last a couple seconds before the smile came back! There is something truly special about them.

Their ceremony and reception were held at the South County Senior Center in Edmonds, Washington... yes, that's correct, a senior center. It is located right on the Puget Sound next to the Edmonds Ferry. The price is great and the view is amazing. I highly recommend it to everyone.

Thanks for making my job easy!!!

First look...

Absolutely gorgeous...

Matt and his adorable smile...

The girls...

So we're doing some bridal party photos on the beach near the senior center... and this biker dude just comes up and says he wants to kiss the bride! I don't think anyone knew what to do except laugh!

Right before the ceremony Mackenzie got so emotional she started to cry... so sweet!

I love this shot of them looking at each other during the ceremony...

Married!

Mackenzie surprised Matt with a special dance she choreographed with her bridesmaids...

Matt, Mackenzie and their guests took full advantage of my photo booth!

Brad and Sarah: July 10, 2009

Brad and Sarah's weddings was held at the scenic Tail Skid Meadows in Custer, Washington just north of Bellingham. What I love so much about them is that they are so laid back and don't seem to stress about too much. Brad and his groomsmen wore linen pants and shirts which was perfect for the super hot day! I had such a great time at this wedding, especially since J. Russell Catering did the food!

First look...

The guys and their linen clothes...

Brad got so choked up he couldn't say his vows...

Sarah tries to cram Brad's ring on his finger...

I love how Brad is checking out Sarah's ring while his groomsmen signs the marriage certificate...

Brad and Sarah look at his ring as they walk toward the reception area...

I LOVE J. Russell Catering... their food is so delicious and so beautiful... plus their staff is just so much fun to work with.

Brad and Sarah gave each of their guests a Colorado Blue Spruce seedling to plant...

How cute is Brad's groomsmen going for the garter?
