It Was A Beautiful Afternoon for Ryan and Kelly's Ceremony At Villa Academy...

The Wonderful Ryan & Kelly Schable
May 16, 2009 - Villa Academy, Seattle

Well, Ryan and Kelly's wonder dog, Baxter, was set to steal the show walking down the aisle with his enthusiasm and verve. But Ryan's beautiful bride was glorious walking down the aisle last Saturday afternoon at Villa Academy and it was a gorgeous moment.

The marvelous Brian and Jennifer from www.photoelan.com were on hand to capture the moments and my favorite pianist, Cara, was there to lend her musical talents - www.seattlepianist.com.

Ryan and Kelly, I know you are on your honeymoon in Tahiti - and I wish you a blessed and happy marriage.

The Marvelous Mayflower Park Hotel and James and Elaine's Wedding Ceremony...

James and Elaine Booth
April 25, 2009, Alexis Hotel

James and Elaine were married at the marvelous Mayflower Park hotel in late April in downtown Seattle. Married in the upper level foyer of the hotel's lobby near the fireplace, James and Elaine's wedding ceremony was a mix of the traditional, the contemporary and with a bit of fun. And let's not forget the "fire truck" and the photos on the truck truck immediately following their ceremony (James is one of those handsome firemen!).
If you looking for a unique and history filled venue for your ceremony and celebration, consider the Mayflower Park Hotel. The staff is amazing and don't get me started on the food!

Kiana Lodge - One Of My Most Favorite Places In The Northwest For A Wedding...

Brian and Jessica Nau
Kiana Lodge, April 26, 2009
*****
Brian and Jessica's wedding ceremony at the marvelous Kiana Lodge was a beautiful event in all ways. The weather was so outstanding (sunny and warm) that we had the ceremony on the deck overlooking Agate Pass. I absolutely loved getting to know Brian and Jessica over the past year - in fact, Brian and Jessica spent only 46 out of 52 weeks together last year as Brian was stationed overseas!

Brian and Jessica - Given the legacy of love shared by your parents, I wish you an equally blessed and sweet marriage!

When Mother Nature Decides To Throw You A Gift - Rain Showers, A Snow Storm...Even A Rainbow!

Matt and Katy Salvolskis
Alderbrook Resort, April 11, 2009
*****

It might have been a little chilly for Matt and Katy's 5:00 p.m. wedding ceremony but the joy in the tent for their evening ceremony was truly remarkable in all ways.

In the middle of Matt and Katy's ceremony, a beautiful rainbow unexpectedly appeared and we all took a few moments just to soak in this beautiful gift. "Unexpected stuff" is what I love about a wedding ceremony. You can plan and plan and plan and then Mother Nature unexpectedly decides to throw you a beautiful gift! And when this happens in a ceremony, you just go with it!

Congratulations, Matt and Katy!
