You know a wedding went well for you as a photographer when the grandparents hug you goodbye. Laura and Thoren and their family and friends made me feel like a part of the family at their wedding which was held at the beautiful wedding at The Willows on Lummi Island. The laid back feel of island life rubbed off on everyone who attended. The food, done by The Willows, and the dessert, done by Andi at Pure Bliss Desserts, were amazing! I highly recommend Pure Bliss Desserts for any occasion, not just weddings. Thanks to Laura and Thoren for not only a great day but for inviting me to their BBQ the following weekend!

I was pretty much the only person at Brenda and John’s wedding that was from the area. Brenda and John live near Moscow, Idaho, and have family and friends from all over the country who attended their wedding. Brenda’s parents who live in Arizona, also have a home in Skagit County which just happens to have the most amazing view and a large yard that is perfect for a wedding ceremony! The weather was perfect, which surprised many of the out of towners. Flowers were done by my favorite Wing and a Prayer Floral out of Bellingham. I highly recommend them for anyone who want unique flowers. Thanks to John and Brenda and their families for a wonderful day!

Morginn and David’s bridal party was one of the most fun ones I’ve ever worked with! The entire day was fun and I was joined with friend and photographer Heather Trimm of Heather Trimm Photography. I was just saying the night before their wedding that I would love for one of my bride’s to have an amazing pair of shoes… and Morginn definitely did with a hot pink pair of tuxedo shirt in spired heels!
