This couple is GREAT together…and their wedding was wonderful and to be a part of such a great day was our (my husband and myself) pleasure. We started out early and went late into the evening…and I must say that we were exhuasted by the end of the night, but also excited at what we were able to capture for Megan and Derek on their special day!! And, the weather really couldn’t have been better…it wasn’t too warm or too cool…and ideal for the outdoor wedding and reception…this had to be a sign of a great future for them…everything falling into place! The wedding took place at Snoqualmie Point Park (GREAT location…check it out sometime, beautiful view!!) and the reception was help at in the groom’s back yard which backs up to Shady Lake in Renton…and that was a fabulous location!! Couldn’t have been a better day!
The groom and his best man (brother)…hmmm, they look a bit different in later photos, wonder why?!! TOO much fun for these guys!
My husband was photographing the guys getting ready…needless to say they ALL had a good time…as you can see!!
Jill, who is the groom’s mom was a wonderful hostess…and when she was opening the champagne…she said it should sound just like a woman’s sigh…but this bottle had something else in store and came bubbling out everywhere…we all enjoyed the “woman’s sigh!!”
All the little details for the bride…such fun to make sure it’s all taken care of…and all SO worth it when you see how beautiful she is!!!
Both the bride and groom getting some reassurance and last minute advice from their parents…great to see such wonderful support from family!
This location was GORGEOUS…and the weather couldn’t have been nicer…perfect temperature!
Look at this GREAT looking wedding party…aren’t they fabulous!
The wedding party and guests…such a fun group!!!!
Guess it’s important that they make it official!! And, the father’s of the bride and groom were the witnesses…that’s such a special honor!!
Dancing…a lot of fun was had on the dance floor…though I’m not sure Gunnar (the dog) knew what was going on in his back yard!!
The cake…they both made sure the other got their fair share!!! Needless to say, a bit of clean-up was necessary after this shot!
A few moments together…to reflect on the day…THEIR day!!
Sunday afternoon I had the pleasure of photographing sweet little Brylee again! This was my third session with this little cutie and what a delight to see how she’s grown and changed since the last session. She’s still a petite little girl, but I fell in love with her smile and expressions during the session and she has definitely learned how to “flirt” with those around her…wow, she’s a beauty and as she gets older, her parents (dad, especially!!) will be watching those boys who come calling! Brylee was SOO good through the whole session and the only time she wasn’t happy was when we tried to put a tutu on her…she did NOT like the tulle on her soft skin…so we quickly decided she’d have to be older before trying that again! And, it was a treat to have a chance to get some family photos during this session as well…her parents are such a nice couple and they all are a very sweet family! When I shot the last session, her dad was at work, so it was great to have him join in the fun…and we had to include their dog, Beasley, in family photos…he sure didn’t like being left out of the photos!! Here’s a peek at what I captured that beautiful summer afternoon!
