WATERS WEDDING | WHIDBEY ISLAND WASHINGTON | DESTINATION WEDDING

Fireseed Catering | Whidbey Island, WA

Hannah and Leonard, I think it’s time I honor your wedding day!

Way back when I photographed a wedding in Washington. This wedding day was absolute magic, the weather a perfect combination of light rain the night before, leaving way to a thin layer of clouds. This was not your typical Seattle Autumn weather but the perfect for an outside wedding ceremony. As you can imagine the venue was located in the woods, down a not so traveled road. Driving down the dirt driveway lined with centuries-old evergreens gave way to a welcoming elfin hollow on my right and a beautiful barn that would celebrate my left.

The bridal party and guests welcomed me, Elizabeth (Sage & Scarlet Photography), and my 24-week pregnant self with compassionate hearts. Always asking me if I was feeling okay, making sure I was drinking enough water, and trying to keep me off chairs (which I love to do at weddings!).

Before you move onto the moments captured I have to mention that the Bride and her posey had their hands in every element of this wedding, from the cake to the flowers to the bride’s dress and even the very wedding chuppah Hannah and Leonard exchanged their vows under! How special to have your family and friends rally around you for the most monumental day of your life. And with that Hannah and Leonard were surrounded and celebrated by their closest friends and family in that beautiful glade in the woods. Thank you for trusting me to capture the most beautiful day of the start of the greatest adventure you will ever be on.
