Oh. Wow. I can’t even tell you just how massively excited I was about this Hidden Meadows wedding. When I sit down with a new bride and groom, we talk all about their wedding. I want to know the colors, the feel, the style and all the things that excite them about the upcoming wedding. When I heard about the Ruffles, orange and grey colors and the amazing venue, I knew that it would just blow my mind! Well…it did. It was glorious from the moment we arrived and I saw the amazing dress! Oh the ruffles were just so wonderful!

For the almost 8 years that I have been shooting weddings, I’ve never ever seen a dress like this! The ruffles were just sooooo so stunning, and it fluttered just like a butterfly as we floated around the reception! It was glorious! :)

These shoes….oh my! I love a good shoe! The ruffles on these just made me so happy!

You might just remember these boots from their engagement session…I love these boots so much!

One of my favorite shots at any wedding!!

Another amazing Dessert Bar and Wedding Cake by Jenny Cookies. I don’t know how the heck she could be maid of honor….and still bring this all together!

The thing about Jenny Cookies, is that the desserts are just as delicious as they are modern and lovely to the eye. I don’t know why…but I have been skeptical about cake pops….but Jenny’s won me over….so yummy!

I’ve never seen a wedding cake like this ever! Orange, Modern and super fun!

I loved the idea of the scones in cute little jars! What a fun wedding favor! They actually put them together the night before!!! And let me tell you…they were delicious!!

When I meet with couples…I always ask tons of questions…and this is how I found out that Sandra & Bill met dancing. Western Swing Dancing. And let me tell you..they showed off a few moves at their fun wedding at Magnolia Hall and I was very impressed! I loved that something so fun as dancing brought them together…its something they will be enjoying together for the next 50 years!  Here are just a few of Bill & Sandra’s First Look! Oh how I love this time of the wedding day! Lots more images to come!

I am so in love with Sandra’s dress…the asymmetric rouching and the very modern flowers with the one shoulder is a wedding dress that I have never seen before (and I’ve seen a ton of dresses in over 7 years of shooting weddings!). I loved it so much!!!

There is something so classic and vintage, yet still modern about a bow tie with a tux! I love this look! Bill looks like he’s ready to walk to red carpet!

As we were leaving Magnolia Hall to head out to shoot some portraits…the lighting in the foyer was so amazing…I had to run back and get my camera…I loved these cool red doors as well! So fun!

This is my absolute favorite picture of the day! So classic.

Sandra was such a fun, classic and beautiful bride!

I had such a great time today hanging with the ladies of Chic Tweak! We headed to fun Downtown Snohomish for a fun shoot. Heidi and Terri have worked together for a while and decided that they needed to put their styling talent to work! They do styling parties (sounds fun to me!) Make-up and tons more! I loved every little single thing they came up with, so I’m sure you will see more of them on the blog! Allie did a great job as our model…even in the freezing cold! She was super tough!

I love work with people like me. Lets just say it…I like fun, high energy, witty people….Why? Because it makes my life way more fun! That is one reason why I love working with Brittany from BBJean Events so much! This girl is a visionary when it comes to all things wedding and design.

We chatted a while ago about doing a fun, vintage shoot with some quirky touches and that was about all the detail I could come up with….soon…(while I was having my fun birthday weekend) I started getting these amazing emails full of Brittany’s ideas….I got one at the Purple Cafe in Seattle, one walking around Pacific Place and a whole bunch more. Every email I got more and more excited about our upcoming shoot in Bellingham! Thanks so much to Katie &  Josh for being our couple in love! So glad I got to meet you two!

I literally fell on the floor the moment I saw this amazing 50′s inspired wedding dress by Kathy Ireland (yes!! She has a wedding gown line!!!). I just wish my 10 year Anniversary was this year because I would have snapped that baby up so fast! My  idea as to then have it dyed blue or pink for a lovely party or date night dress! mmmm! Maybe I should just pick one up just in case!!!

I loved the modern and sweet flowers that Brittany designed….no roses, just beautiful and delicious Sweet Peas, Ranocculous, Narcissus and some other lovely smelling beauties! Yes…she is a multi talented gal! (if you don’t have a wedding designer all ready…snap this girl up!!! She only takes a limited number of weddings a year, and she WILL create a wedding wonderland for you as well as set your mind at ease!

Are these amazing Home made Peanut Butter and Jelly favors not the cutest things you’ve ever seen??? What a fun DIY project you could do months before your wedding with your wedding party or family…have a peanut or almond butter and jelly canning day…..find some fabric that matches your wedding scheme and design a cute label for your day! So fun….and your guests will love your home made tasty treat!

Using the same fabric theme through out your wedding is a great way to create a custom look, with out a ton of cash! I loved this pink and grey fabric that Brittany found! Fun & still Modern!

Wow! I met Tiffany a while ago…and when I heard about the amazingly creative and fun details (collecting big antique keys to use at their wedding) and saw her fun personality…I knew we would get along just great! We headed to Snohomish for her and Dan’s Engagement session. We started at a super old junk store…complete with old stoves in the front and amazing signs hanging on the walls. When she mentioned that she saw the same place I did….I knew we were on the same quirky, different wave length….then she mentioned a random field that was collecting random articles of farm equipment, machines and cars. When I hear random…I know that I like what I am going to hear! It was glorious!!!!:) If you see a few rain drops….uh…yes….these guys were troopers and continued on in the downpour. Luckily…they were laid back….and I….game to keep shooting! If I let rain always dictate my schedule, I would probably not be in the photography business right now! Or I would move to LA with all the other photographers. :)I love using texture…ei: old rusty walls, chipping paint, interesting doorways….. So if you have a shoot coming up with me….keep your eyes peeled for some cool places. Snohomish is a photographers dream!:)

I absolutely went bonkers over Tiffany’s dress from Anthropologie! Super duper cute! And Dan’s hat brought it all together for me!

I was so inspired by this antique S these guys brought with them. I  am now on a mission to find an E. I need one!!! I’ll be commencing my ebay, etsy.com, salvage and antique store quest to find one very soon!

We also headed to the Snohomish Pie Company for a few bites of Apple Berry Crumble Pie. Yummo. Dan’s been wanting to try this place…and he finally got too! He is a pie eater…and he said two thumbs up!
