Billy and Desi's Wedding Weekend at Treehouse Point in Preston, Washington!

Treehouse Point in Preston, Washington!

This spectacular place in nature is one of my favorite venues in the Northwest for a wedding ceremony and celebration.

Bily and Desi created such an easy/elegant and fun wedding weekend for their family and friends and exchanged vows on August 13th with grand sunshine, a few tears and lots of laughs.

The couple's beloved cocker spaniel, Romeo, did a stellar job getting down the aisle with the rings. He was a little too vocal during the ceremony so he left the wedding party and went to be with Desi's parents - very fun and joyful in all ways!

I was touched to meet Photographer Christopher Nelson at Billy and Desi's wedding. This guy's smile is a mile wide and his heart and spirit shows in how he "works a wedding" as well in his beautiful images, like this one! In this work that I do, I see many photographers in action on a wedding day. Christopher is one of my new favorites!

Billy and Desi - I wish you much happiness as you move forward into this new journey together! I am so touched by your loving relationship - you are inspirational in so many ways!

Lake Union Crew - Mark & Stephanie At One Of My Favorite Venues in Seattle, WA!

Look a these smiles!

On a sunny and cloudy Friday evening with Lake Washington in the background, Mark and Stephanie were married surrounded by 100+ of their family and friends at one of my favorite venues here in Seattle - Lake Union Crew on Lake Washington.

This dynamic duo (they are!) met on a 12-hour plane flight to Beijing, China and by the end of their adventure (Stephanie was a tour guide on Mark's adventure), they were in love.

With grand faith, alot of planning and true devotion/commitment, Stephanie left her life in Denver and made her way to be with Mark in Seattle.

Mark and Stephanie - I wish you grand fortune as you embark on your married adventure here in beautiful Seattle!

Take A Page From Justin & Tristin's Wedding Playbook For A Memorable Wedding Day...

Tristin and Justin - gracious, kind, very fun and most of all, inspiring.

I had much fun getting to know this couple long distance and actually didn't meet them until their wedding rehearsal.

And on a beautiful sunny evening, Tristin and Justin celebrated their loving relationship with many of their family and friends during an evening ceremony at Seattle's landmark Edgewater Hotel.

If you are planning your wedding ceremony and day, take a page from Tristin and Justin's playbook - lead with your heart, make a stand for what is important to you as a couple, take a few moments after your ceremony for just the two of you, smile big and enjoy the little things and most of all, remember that giggles during a ceremony are a good thing!

Kim & Chris At Alderbrook Resort - A Wedding Weekend of Family, Fun and Memories...

I loved every moment of July 24th.

I was out at Alderbrook Resort on this Sunday and had the marvelous opportunity to officiate Chris and Kim's wedding ceremony at this beautiful waterfront Resort on Hood Canal.

Chris and Kim are one of those young couples who you look at and say, "Good For You!"

They share a sweet and loving partnership which has become stronger with the birth of their sweet daughter, Sabrina.

Chris and Kim have been through much in life. And through it all, they have led with love, commitment, perseverance and humor. The world needs more young couples like Chris and Kim. I am eager to see where this family goes in life!
