I can honestly saw that when I chatted with Jessen’s mom on the phone about a year ago, I knew this wedding was going to be a fun one! She told me about Lakedale Resort on San Juan Island, all of the fun details that Jess and Freddy were planning and just how much fun they were. well..once again, I was blown away. The beauty of San Juan Island was incredible, but these people were seriously fun and inlove!

We had some out of the ordanary  things happen on this wedding day…and these two weathered all of them like champs! Just to name a few:

• Bees were swarming the beach at the American Camp beach where Freddy & Jess were going to do their first look…and we didn’t have the epi pen that we needed for Jess. She was so brave!
• We were photo bombed by a total stranger, about .5 seconds after Freddy saw Jess for the first time at the First Look! Luckily, after the whole wedding party and family hollered at him…he got the hint and wondered off!
• There were multiple bees in the bride’s veil and Drew fought them off like a warrior!
• Their sweep pup had some doo-doo issues. I will leave it at that.

They also had some amazing DIY wedding details that I was so excited about! Some of my favorites were:

• Random glass bottles wrapped with twine for centerpiece vases
• Fleece blankets wrapped with string for wedding favors for guests
• Torn fabric garland with random photos of the bride & groom hanging around the reception tent
• driftwood directional signs and handmade wedding arch

Here’s part one of their creative and special wedding day!
