Robert and Kate ~ A Sweet & Intimate Wedding At Seattle's Bacon Mansion on Capital Hill

I remember the first time I spoke with Kate on the phone. I immediately liked her!

****

And during the weeks that I worked via email and phone to build a ceremony for Kate and her sweetheart, Robert, I learned more about their beautiful and poignant love story and the personal challenges that sweetened their ceremony with gratitude and appreciation.

Robert + Kate ~ And they got hitched! At The Bacon Mansion with 20 plus close family and friends.

Once pronounced husband and wife, Robert took Kate's hand and they danced...there might have been 20 or so people looking on and in this moment, it was just them.

Robert and Kate ~ I wish you much happiness and am so happy you were able to leave Seattle in good health and with such promise!

Fred and Jennie Hall ~ From Tucson to Seattle ~ The Willows Lodge//Summer 2010

Fred and Jennie Hall are one of those couples I will remember forever.

They both live in Tucson, Arizona and I worked with Fred and Jennie via phone, email and editing pen to craft and write their wedding ceremony.

I finally met Fred and Jennie at rehearsal and was (and still am) so very taken with how they came to their wedding day ~ with graciousness, kindness and a grand sense of family and community.

Fred and Jennie coordinated their Seattle wedding long distance, juggling all of the logistics and challenges of selecting "vendors," coordinating venue details and much more. I often work with a couple who is "Seattle bound" for their wedding day and if it's a good match from the get go, the process of building and writing a ceremony can be very seamless.

Jennie ~ may you fly in the clouds with grace and protection. Fred ~ play ball!

A Wedding At Seattle's Rainier Club ~ Michael and Suzanne ~ So Much To Celebrate!

Michael and Suzanne were married on a sunny Summer afternoon at Seattle's Rainier Club ~ much to the absolute delight of their family and friends.

Suzanne's Mother flew in from England to attend the wedding and this intimate gathering was a perfect complement to a ceremony and celebration so well planned by this couple.

Suzanne's son, Daniel, did a spectacular job as "ring boy" and at the end of the ceremony, he joined the clapping and congratulations by raising his hands in the air with great joy - so well captured in a photo!

Suzanne and Michael ~ I wish you much happiness and you are to be so very proud of the family you have created together and your special addition this Fall!

Irwin and Dawn at The Willows Lodge ~ Great Fun, Sweet Moments And A Memorable Unity Candle!

Dawn and Irwin had one big wish for their wedding ceremony and celebration ~ they truly wanted it to be a FUN and enjoyable experience for everyone involved.

They succeeded...and in a big way. And truly, this isn't always easy to do. Why?

Dawn and Irwin kept everything related to "all things wedding" beautifully in perspective. They inherently knew what was important for their day and what didn't rate on their "wedding scale."

Irwin is one of those guys who is a party unto himself! People just love him and gravitate to him. Dawn is beautiful, a bit more reserved and accomplished ~ a perfect complement to her guy!

Dawn and Irwin ~ Not only did you have sunshine but you indeed set your unity candle ablaze!
