Signing Your Marriage Documents: Be "Fashion Forward" With A Camera or "Just Get It Done..."

Signing Marriage Documents With Anna

When it comes to signing the marriage license paperwork at a wedding, some couples like the flash of the camera.

Other couples prefer a quiet signing, either together or separately.

Your wedding. It's all about your personal preference.

Lots Of Spontaneous Moments During Justin and Desiree's Wedding Ceremony At Illahee Manor

The Dip! Justin & Desiree

Illahee Manor, Bremerton, Washington

The very spunky and fun Jenny of www.jennygg.com perfectly captured "Justin's dip" as Justin and Desiree celebrated the end of their wedding ceremony. Justin and Desiree recently held their wedding at Illahee Manor, a waterfront bed and breakfast, in Bremerton, WA.

It was a crazy hot day and while some of us were wilting a bit in the sun (okay, truth!), this beautiful couple happily smiled and glowed the entire time during their ceremony.

I especially loved how Justin's Mother made a few impromptu comments during the ceremony that just seemed to fit each sweet and spontaneous moment. In many ways, the spontaneous and unexpected pieces/moments of a wedding become a unique part of a couple's story - and truth be told, a wedding day usually holds more than a few of these moments!

The Seattle Wedding of Rajesh & Linda Pandey - Beautiful In Every Sweet Way....

Mr. and Mrs. Rajesh and Linda Pandey

Saturday, June 6, 2009

Rajesh and Linda's love story and devotion is an inspiration to everyone around them. And it was such a joy for me to marry this couple in front of 50 of their dearest family and friends. Linda's best friend, Jennifer, sang two beautiful songs - including one with special lyrics just for Rajesh and Linda. The sisters of the couple read letters that Rajesh and Linda had written to their families and it was truly a sweet hanky moment. But most of all, it was delightful to be in the presence of two people who so obviously adore one another for all the right reasons.

Rajesh and Linda's moments were captured by wedding photographer Chris Sollart...or as Linda shared with me, "Chris managed to transform a pair people comfortable in sweat pants into fashionistas!" For more on Chris's amazing work, I invite you to take a peak: www.chrissollart.com

Mike and Ann Huffman - A Memorable Ceremony At Alderbrook Resort With A Remarkable Couple...

High Noon At Mike & Ann's Waterside Ceremony

June 6, 2009 ~ Alderbrook Resort

How could you not fall in love with Mike and Ann Huffman? Over the past couple of months, I so enjoyed working with this couple to create and deliver their wedding ceremony. Mike and Ann have an amazing story and with 60 family and friends, we celebrated their remarkable love story and commitment this past week.

Photographer Ron Shaw from Always Focused On You Photography (www.always-focused-on-you.com) captured the special moments. Mike and Ann were so blessed to have Ron and his team on hand as Ron is one of the best wedding photo guys in the Pacific Northwest!

From the cloudy sky to the wind that whipped up in the middle of the ceremony - to the personalized vows - to the special memorial candle - and so much more, it was a beautiful and poignant ceremony. And what a fun couple, too! This duo really knows how to entertain and kick things up!

Wedding Dog Baxter Almost Steals the Show At Villa Academy!

Baxter! The Amazing Wedding Dog!

The marvelous Brian and Jennifer Hartman of Photo Elan - www.photoelan.com - captured this amazing and fun shot of Wedding Dog "Baxter" while his Guardians were being married at the beautiful Villa Academy Chapel.

Baxter proudly walked down the aisle during Ryan and Kelly Schable's wedding ceremony and I caught the handsome canine peaking out from behind a pew several times as he was watching his people. Beloved dogs add so much joy at a wedding ceremony - no matter if the venue is formal or casual.

Photo Guy Extraordinare' Grant Horiuchi - www.horiuchi.com - captured some absolutely stunning and authentic images during Jon and Elizabeth's wedding ceremony on a sunny Sunday two weeks ago. This couple's ceremony was a mix of traditional and contemporary elements - and a few pieces of humor along the way.

If you've never been to the Tacoma Museum of Art, you must take a peak. It is a an undiscovered gem of a venue for a wedding ceremony and celebration.

Jon and Elizabeth (and children) - I wish you much happiness together!
