Yet another Canadian/American wedding! Bobbi, the Canadian, and her beau Ryan, from Ferndale, were married at the Peace Arch Park in Blaine on a very rainy Saturday. The reception followed at a super cool party barn in Ferndale which had plenty of room to dance and pool and air hockey tables downstairs. The party really got going when Springsteen’s “Born in the USA” was played as Ryan and his groomsmen flew the American flag and Bobbi and her bridesmaids stood on chairs and waved the Canadian flag.

Maya and Albert picked Sanders Mansion as the location for the ceremony and reception for their Friday evening wedding and it couldn’t have been more beautiful! Albert’s family and friends who traveled the east coast meshed so well with Maya’s local friends. Maya was an absolutely gorgeous bride and planned every detail perfectly for her and Albert’s wedding.

Albert’s son Mason didn’t want to hold hands with Olivia the flower girl after I asked him to give her a kiss on the cheek! Olivia also refused to kiss Mason on the cheek…Maya, right, her sister and a friend watch guests arrive from an upstairs window at Sanders Mansion…Check out this adorable ring bearer box that Alber’ts son Mason carried down the aisle…Olivia was the most precise (and adorable!) flower girl I’ve ever photographed…

There is no other way to describe Tina and Jason’s wedding except funny and full of love! Every moment was had laughter. I loved that Jason gave an origami crane demonstration at the reception. The ceremony was held at the Hillcrest Chapel in Fairhaven where Tina works and the couple attends church. Flowers were by the fabulous Wing and a Prayer Floral. Reception was held at The Majestic and dinner was done by friends. I had so much fun photographing Tina and Jason and their bridal party. Thanks for such a fun day!

Daniel and Liz’s wedding was at the most uniue and amazing venue I’ve ever been to… the woods at his parent’s property on Chuckanut near Bellingham. Some of the 150 or so guests were seated in chairs while others sat on benches made from wood from the forest and blankets on a slope above the ceremony. Thankfully the ceremony was about an hour long which gave me plenty of time to photograph the amazing beauty! The reception followed at Daniel’s parent’s home with a BBQ and lots and lots of food including several different kinds of cheesecakes made by a family friend. Toasts and prayers concluded the evening.
