Gretchen & Josh: Married in Seattle

For Airika and I, one of the most important (and fun) parts about what we do is getting to know the bride and groom. When we have the chance to build a relationship with them, it gives them a sense of trust that helps us get the natural and authentic photos that we strive for. Even with that, we quite often show up at a wedding and know no one outside of the bride and groom. This is a big reason that we started doing rehearsal coverage. It not only gives us a chance to see the venue, check out the lighting, and get a feel for the flow of the day, but it allows us to document the interactions between the closest friends and family in a relaxed, fun, and intimate setting.

We were fortunate enough to have already met Gretchen's family--the bride's father Kim was Airika's former boss at Fuller Seminary, and a very influential mentor in her life. Knowing the family and some of the history leading up to Gretchen and Josh's rehearsal made the stories we heard even more meaningful, leading to more than our fair share of tears and laughter.

It has been an huge blessing to get to know Gretchen and Josh over the past few months--they have incredible hearts for the Lord and a strong desire to serve and love all the people they come in contact with. They give so much of themselves--whether through their jobs, their church, or their daily interactions with friends and family. You can't help but come away from a conversation with them feeling encouraged and energized. This probably had a little something to do with the crowded church and overflowing reception on their wedding day!

You can enjoy some of our favorite images from their rehearsal & wedding day below, or you can view their entire slideshow. Congratulations Gretchen and Josh!

During their engagement, Gretchen & Josh kept a traveling journal to share their hearts and thoughts with each other since they were living far apart. This journal, along with Gretchen's grandfather's devotional book, are pictured here.

I love that Gretchen & Josh set aside time to relax and pray with their entire wedding party and family before the ceremony. It's such a testimony to the things that are most important to them.

Sara & Michael's Wedding

From the very beginning, I could tell this was going to be a special day. After getting ready at the Watertown Hotel, they came downstairs for their "first look." When Sara and Michael saw each other for the first time, it was truly a special moment. You could see the overwhelming sense of joy and excitement welling up within them--more than a few tears were shed, and I think Sara and Michael may have even cried a little too. It was one of the most beautiful and touching moments of their entire day. Although, Michael may have topped that at the reception when he surprised Sara by singing a song that he had written for her. That was definitely a smooth move--one worth remembering and repeating throughout your marriage Michael... ;)













LOVE THIS! If you go to MyJones.com you can get your own pictures printed on Jones soda bottles. Michael and Sara did this with several of their engagement photos as favors for guests--so cool!


You can see Sara and Michael's slideshow here. You can also preregister to see all of their wedding photos when they are ready here. Congratulations Sara and Michael!

Among Sara & Michael's amazing vendors were: the talented musician Geoffrey Castle * the absolute BEST DJ in Seattle, Austin Beaver with Nite Lite Entertainment * University Temple United Methodist Church * totally adorable cupcakes by Danny Fisher * beautiful arrangements and decor by Miki's Flowers * the Seattle Harbor Club.

Jordan & Ty's Maui Wedding

To say that Jordan and Ty's wedding was awesome would be an enormous understatement. Quite simply, it was incredible! White Orchid Weddings put together an amazing event at one of their exclusive venues on Maui. Jordan and Ty, thank you, thank you, thank you for bringing us along for your wedding! Your love for life & each other is contagious, and it was a joy to capture your wedding day.

If you love a good love story, you can view Jordan & Ty's entire wedding slideshow here.

I (Airika) loved that Jordan brought one of her invitations to the wedding for us to photograph. It was such a creative invitation (we had never seen an invitation delivered in a box) and it gives so much insight into the theme and mood of their wedding day.

One of my favorite pre-wedding moments was when Jordan and her girls (Annie & Lindsey), headed down to the beach to play and toast Jordan's big day.





Jordan's Monique Lhuillier gown was gorgeous! Simple A-line dresses are so elegant, and the scoop v-neck back on her dress was stunning on her!





I love our Photo Guestbooks (and Jordan & Ty actually got one for their engagement party last year), but if you're going to get married in Maui, you should consider "stealing" Jordan & Ty's guestboard idea! It's a truly unique way to remember the place and the people who made your wedding day so special.







Enjoy, and feel free to leave comments for the bride & groom! :)

Elizabeth & Steven's Winter Wedding

Seattle was hit with several snowstorms this past December, and the days leading up to Elizabeth & Steven's wedding were full of anticipation! Determined that nothing was going to stop us from photographing their wedding, we put our four-wheel drive friends on-call and plotted out our worst-case scenario commute via bus/taxi/etc. to their wedding venue. To our relief, their day broke without a snowflake in the sky, (until their final departure at least!) and when we arrived at their church, we were met by a joy-filled bride & groom who were ready to tackle whatever their day may bring! Throughout their day, Elizabeth & Steven were positively glowing, and the beauty of the winter wonderland that surrounded them was the perfect setting for their day.

Elizabeth & Steven, your day was absolutely beautiful and we feel so blessed that we were able to share it with you. Thank you.
