{Tatiana + Paul} Married at Alderbrook Resort Labor Day weekend

     Tatiana and Paul got married Labor Day weekend at the beautiful Alderbrook Resort on Hood Canal.
It was an incredibly beautiful day to be on the water at an outside wedding in Washington and I truly loved the entire day with them.
      See their slideshow Here

     One of the most beautiful things about their union was the blending of their families and seeing them with their new baby, Paul's daughter, and all of their extended family and friends there to cheer them on.
 A quiet moment for the bride while she is being bustled and feeding and her new baby...so so sweet!!!
 I could not get over how beautiful the emeralds were in Tatiana's ring and with the sparkle...wow!!!
 A wave and a smile and she walks down the aisle to see her love.


 Food and fun for all!!! Alderbrook is a warm and inviting place to be and the food was amazing!!!
A handsome groom
A stunning bride


Together unstoppable!!! Tatiana and Paul I wish you both the best on your journey together

{Cherie + Kevin} Home estate Wedding, Olympia, WA

Kevin and Cherie
8.27.11
Love happens at all stages of life and I am so grateful to have gotten to photograph Cherie for some portraits of just her which hang now in her new home and of her family who I have gotten to also do portraits of with her...it was so neat to know the kids and get to be a part of Cherie's new adventures with Kevin and especially amazing to be there for their special day together!!!

Kevin and Cherie were married at their Shelton home estate which is incredibly beautiful and so meaningful to them as well...Such a lovely venue to get married and celebrate!!!  


 Of course her granddaughters were adorable...flower girl and a ring bearer...and what
rings to behold at this wedding!!!
One of the neatest parts about their wedding is that they had Cherie's good friend and jewelry designer Helen Ficalora designed their wedding rings, but it was a surprise until the moment they did their vows. Such exquisite work and elegance...I just love Helen's designs anyhow, but seeing these rings was just amazing!!! 
Little ring bearer with the cutest umbrella...love this one!!!
 Cherie wore an amazing Green silk vintage gown with Thistles embroidered into it. She absolutely beamed!!!
Kevin and Cherie are so in love...so so inspiring!!!

 K and C charms from Helen Ficalora
 The swimming pool was a hit for all ages as it was hot hot hot that day, but the pool was inviting!!! Cherie's granddaughter was the first one in the pool...followed closely by her good friend.
Originally the Harley was going to be a part of the Groom's entrance, but with some delays it just got to come out for a few photo ops. 
The vintage car was also a great addition to our pics!!!
 Of course the beautiful Vera Wang shoes didn't hurt to look at...but apparently were quite uncomfortable to wear, good thing she had a different pair of shoes for later!

Kevin and Cherie congratulations to you and I wish you the best on your adventures together!!!
