The music is by the incredibly talented songstress Greta Jane who also sings amazing Jazz for weddings!

Sarah & Jay live in Germany, but their families live in the states, so instead of having everyone fly out to see them, they opted to have their wedding at her parents home in Eatonville, WA. 

She chose a great color combination, oranges, reds popped. Making it happy and bright. I loved the cake because it was so happy and the way it was displayed after it was cute made it another aspect of art.

They also had these really fun red fans at the sign in table, so we played with them...

Sarah & Jay, I really enjoyed photographing your wedding and hope you are having a great time in Germany. 

Vintage Wedding in Leavenworth

I have been looking forward to Kimberly & Jonathan's wedding for months and finally last weekend it came. They got married at the Pine River Ranch in Leavenworth, WA and apparently their setup was one of the most elaborate and glamorous they have had. I totally would get married there, it is a beautiful all inclusive destination wedding location. This was such a fun wedding to photograph because the details were flawless and so well thought out. Kimberly had a wedding planner, Julia Hanson who executed things perfectly.

Here is a shot of the reception room, the loft of a barn, can you believe it? So pretty.

All the tables had different things that went with their theme, from lace and pearls, to vintage Hollywood style glasses and photos of their engagement session which her sister Heidi photographed wonderfully. This hat arrangement was one of my favorite ones, so simple and so classic.

 The bouquet was beautiful, elegant and surrounded by lace fabric and pearls. The fabric was from her grandmothers wedding veil from 1947 in honor of Kimberly's grandma who could not be there.  Her grandmother actually made it.

They had the most AMAZING cake made by Busy Bea's Cakes

It was two cake shaped suitcases on top of a vintage suitcase, with  pearls, and cameras, and according to all the guests tasted incredible. I love that it is totally out of the box.

                The cakes even had little keys that went inside them, absolutely exquisite!

                         The attention to detail with all aspects to the wedding was so on par.

In true Hollywood Glamour fashion, the ladies spent most of the afternoon in the bridal suite getting ready. Kimberly had long finger waves in her hair and her sister Heidi patiently made her hair flawless all the while smiling her incredible smile. I loved seeing how close the two of them are. What a gift.

What would Hollywood Glamour be without mirrors? And sultry looks in them.

And Gorgeous Veils...this is a picture of Kimberly and her sister in the mirror adjusting her veil

Kimberly's dad met her down the ramp to drive her in his 1979 Chevy truck to the ceremony for her grand entrance, both of them were overjoyed to see each other. I totally love seeing the moment between a father and daughter before going down the aisle. 

Kimberly is an incredible singer, check out her myspace page, so it seemed only fitting that she would sing a surprise song she for Jonathan before her dad walked her down the isle.

Vintage style disposable cameras were on all the tables for the reception and I just could not resist putting their rings in one. Their family has a number of photographers within it so it was totally fitting. 

The bridesmaids were in black, each with their own vintage flair and had gloves, hats, and flowers, not matching, but coordinating beautifully.

After they signed their certificate of Marriage at the altar, I caught this sweet moment of sheer comfort and happiness.

                    I love this shot of Kimberly & Jonathan starting their journey together.

Thank you both for having me capture your special day, it was amazing, and your families were so gracious and welcoming.
