Bayne2008-08-14T01:14:53ZWeddingsMegan and John's groomsmen gave me a run for my money but I managed to make it out alive and had so much fun at their wedding! The ceremony and reception were both held at the historic Lairmont Manor in Fairhaven. Flowers and decorations were done by Steven Moore Designs and catering by J. Russell. I'm always a fan of the personalize Jones Soda bottles!

Bayne2008-08-13T21:40:06ZWeddingsKerri and Jesse were married at the beautiful Lord Hill Farms in the town of Snohomish, Washington on 8-8-08! Their wedding flowers were absolutely amazing... I've forgotten the name of the florist but will post it as soon as I find out. The sparklers at the end of the night was a fun send off as Kerri and Jesse got into a vintage Bentley and were on their way to Maui!

Bayne2008-08-03T22:25:22ZWeddingsI keep saying this but I have been so lucky to have such amazing couples to work with and Croft and Candice were no exception! It was obvious throughout the day just how in love with each other they are. Both their families were a blast to work with and made a very long day a lot of fun. Andy at Whatcom Sound did an amazing job as the DJ. Each and every song was fun and he MC'd the reception without making it all about him.

-This is their first look before the ceremony. You can see their family back in the "cry room" watching them.

-Candice's mom tears up as she walks down the aisle.

- I Think this little guy had way too much sugar!

- It's unusual to have a special mother daughter dance but I'm so happy they had one. I was almost in tears as Candice clung to her mom as they danced.

- One of the couple's friends, with his groupies, does his rendition of Queen's Bohemian Rhapsody. So Funny!!!

- Croft's nephew was break dancing all night! He is totally going to be on "So You Think You Can Dance" someday.

- Check out Candice's dad dipping her mom in the background.

- Last dance....

Bayne2008-07-28T20:21:54ZWeddingsSarah's countdown to her wedding finally came to an end! She was so excited to walk down the isle and marry Jake. Their wedding was held at beautiful Tail Skid Meadows in Custer , Washington. The location has an amazing view of Mount Baker and made for some beautiful photos. Both Jake and Sarah's families were so much fun to work with! Everything about the day was absolutely beautiful.

Bayne2008-07-28T19:14:21ZDo to schedules, the bride living in Canada and groom in Poulsbo, I hadn't met Emily and Jason before their wedding day but was so happy to find that they were goofy and lots of fun! The ceremony and reception were held at the *gorgeous* Evergreen Gardens near Ferndale, Washington. I highly recommend them. The ring bearer and flower girl were so adorable! Catering was done by Avenue Catering and cake by Let Them Eat Cake.

]]>Jonathan and Rachel: July 12, 2008http://rachelbayne.squarespace.com/blog/2008/7/13/jonathan-and-rachel-july-12-2008.htmlRachel E. Bayne2008-07-13T22:23:39ZJonathan and Rachel were married at St. Mary's Episcapol Church in Lakewood, Wash. I was actually baptized in that church when I was a baby and hadn't been back in years so it was cool to see that church after so many years! I met Jonathan, who had a perma grin on his face all day, through his job as Director of Athletic Media Relations at Central Washington University since my nephew plays both football and basketball for the university. I had only met Rachel briefly before the wedding day but had a great time working with her and her bridesmaids as they got ready for her big day. The cake by Celebrity Cakes in Tacoma tasted amazing!

]]>Josh and Melanie: June 28, 2008http://rachelbayne.squarespace.com/blog/2008/7/1/josh-and-melanie-june-28-2008.htmlRachel E. Bayne2008-07-01T04:49:18ZWhat can I say about Josh and Melanie? They are one of my favorite couples I've ever photographed. Every time we've gotten together for a photo shoot I've had a blast and come away with amazing photos. The first two photos are from their "save the date" and engagement sessions. Melanie is a scrapbooking rock star and her skills were seen all over their ceremony and reception. Josh is such a super fun guy despite being a UW Huskie! Their reception was held at the super cool and beautiful Antheia Ballroom in the town of Snohomish and was decorated beautifully with the help of Melanie's decorations that were put up by family and friends. Big thanks to Josh and Melanie for letting me be a part of their life!
