We had so much fun with Ashleigh and Steven at their wedding at the Marysville Opera House!  We decided to stick around the Opera House for the First Look and I’m so glad we did! Its an amazing building with an old world feel….which is perfect for these two! Can you believe that they’ve all ready visited 17 countries together??? Well…18, now that they are on their honeymoon to Costa Rica! I can’t wait to hear about their many trips together!

Here’s a sneak peek of their First Look!

I loved these greed wedding shoes and black converse together! What a cute pair!

We had so much fun with Sadie and Josh today! Um…they are stinking fun!  Married for 9 years…when I asked how they met…Sadie told me that when  Josh saw her in driver’s ed class…he knew she was the one! How sweet is that!

Let me just say…that when I saw Sadie walk out to the shoot with her hair and make-up done….and this amazing wedding gown on, I literally fell over! It was all I could do! :) She was so stunning! Caryn Gresli made all my hair dreams come true…and I have no idea what you call it…but it was like she crawled into my brain and extracted exactly what I was hoping for! Thanks Caryn!!!

The chemistry between these two just made me so happy. After 9 yrs…still giggling. :)

Terri Fields, Owner of Embellish By Terri, rocked it once again with her signature lashes and gorgeous wedding make-up. If you are looking for a make-up artist with spunk…and someone who is going to bring some sunshine to your face…and your wedding day…Terri is your new best friend! PS>>>if your wondering what kind of accessories to wear with your dress…she can find the PERFECT thing to bejewel your day!

Once again…an amazingly fabulous vintage style dress from our favorite Bridal Shop, From the Gown Up. I seriously am tempted to steal this one!!!

Jenny Keller, of Jenny Cookies also brought her gorgeous A game when creating the look and feel of, not only the dessert table, but the whole shoot! She is fabulous!

Um…Stadium Flowers! Oh how I love your flower design. I could stare at and smell these peonies all day long!

What a fun idea for your guest table! You don’t have to use a plain round table! Drag out your favorite desk, dresser or end table and use it for your guests to wish you happy thoughts! I love this idea!

I loved Jenny’s idea to use these Seltzer Bottles for table numbers! So brilliant. Another great  DIY project!

Everyone loves a little treat to take away from a wedding! These DIY cookie favors are a such a nice touch to send home with your guests after spending the day at your wedding…or if they are Jenny Cookies…they will never make it home!

LOVE LOVE LOVE this dessert bar by Jenny Cookies…and the cake below just knocked my socks off (as all her cakes do) and the pink flowers was just so stinkin perfect!

One of my favorite parts of my job is asking a couple how they met. I love hearing people’s love stories…especially when they have been married for 10 years and still have amazing chemistry!  I love that these two were brought together by one of Wendy’s childhood girlfriends.  Dave had seen a picture of Wendy…and said to her friend…”someday I will marry a girl that looks like this….and don’t you dare tell her! ” Of course, within minutes she was on the phone, and within a few years, the two where hitched!

During the shoot…I asked them what were some of the best things about the other….

Dave said about Wendy: She’s a great mom!

Wendy says about Dave: He has great legs! :)

{Just a little peak into how fun these two are!!!}

I gotta say that I had a totally giggly, belly laughing, doubling over good time with this couple and I can see why Jenny said they would be a perfect couple for our Nautical Beach Wedding Shoot! They were game for anything!

How cute are these home made scone favors by Jenny Cookies?? So fun for a yummy favor…and i bet the wouldn’t even make it home!

I love the idea of instead of a traditional guest book…pump up the personal factor and have your guests fill out a card with a memory or best wish for you! Throw them in a stack of vintage suitcases and you’ve got a really cool way for guests to participate in your wedding day!

I can’t even tell you how much I love Jenny Cookies Cake Pops! yum yum yum!!! if you are thinking of having a dessert table at your wedding this summer…or next…please do me a favor and call Jenny and order some cake pops. thanks.

Oh how I love these flowers from Stadium Flowers! What a great idea to find your own vintage vases, like these vintage Mason Jars have the Florist do the work.:)  Its a little DIY, and a fun way to personalize your wedding.

Another fabulous idea from Jenny…bring your own tables, desks or dressers to use as cake tables, dessert tables, tables for your guest book or whatever! Ask your venue if its ok…and then make your wedding your own! If you use some of the same colors in your wedding as you do in your house, you can recycle them to side tables or night stands! :) Check out my favorite spot, the Goodwill for some good deals!

OH HOW I LOVE THIS DRESS!!! I know I say it every time, but I do, I do, I do LOVE this dress from the fabulous, From the Gown Up in Snohomish, WA.

These two cracked each other up {and me!!!} the whole time!!! They are some fun peeps!

Ahhhhh! I could hang out at Kayak Point Beach all day, every day! I guess that is why I bought a yearly pass! :)

Um…I’m now OBSESSED with these cute clutches Wendy’s friend makes….yes…I said MAKES!!!! buy your own at

If you love this necklace, like I do…you can get one! :)  Wendy is a Stella and Dot Independant Stylist!

Sandra & Bill met on the dance floor, in so many words…..they both love to dance and so I was very excited to see them dance at their reception! They had a beautiful Jewish ceremony, complete with a lovely  Chuppah. The Chuppah symbolizes the home that the couple will build together. I love that a tradition that has been done for thousands of years is still very meaningful and relevant today. They ended their ceremony with a reading of the Seven Blessings and then the groom stomped on the glass and everyone yelled, “Mazel Tov!”. So fun!

I loved Sandra’s modern, but still vintage wedding dress. I have never seen anything like it! When I saw it on the hanger…I couldn’t wait to see it moving around the dance floor….scroll down to see just how amazing it was! It was the perfect dancing dress!

I am such a fan of the bow tie! So classic!

mmm….my kind of wedding food! Tacos with fresh salsa and some hot sauce! Loved them!

I have to say…I suspected there was going to be some cake on somebodies face…and yep…they went for it! I love it when people smoosh the cake…it makes for fabulous images!

I just couldn’t stop shooting this dress on the dance floor! It just floated!

I love a good finale to a wedding! These guys went from a conga line, to a sparkler ending! So much fun…..If you are having sparklers at your wedding, call me. :)

Last Saturday my hubby/hot 2nd shooter and I got to shoot Sarah & Luke’s fabulous wedding! I love it when a guy can make his gal blush with one wink. :) Thats pretty fun. He really uses it to his advantage too! This wedding had so many beautiful touches, a few vintage, glam and modern and I can’t wait to blog the whole thing…but in the meantime, here are a few from the First Look! My favorite part of the whole day!
