A few weekends ago we headed to the Everett Golf and Country Club for Amy & Derek’s fun fall wedding! I loved that when we arrived…I saw Amy’s mother in law, with a sewing machine out…fixing a bride’s maids dress! It was pretty incredible to see her jump in and get to work. Not only did MJ save the day with the bridesmaids dress…but then Amy’s amazing wedding gown went into the sewing machine as well…and came out perfectly! It was a very exciting way to start a wedding day.

I loved Amy’s cowgirl boots! so cute…and I love that she can wear them long after her wedding day is over. My wedding shoes are still in the box in the closet! 

I love a good reveal…especially to the Brides’ Dad! 

The washington drizzle held off just long enough for us to do a first look outside at the golf course….then…just as I suspected, the rain came back! :(

Amy had the florist include 2 small photos…what a great way to remember the important people that weren’t able to be there with them.

Wow. This wedding rocked! I have to say, when Danika told me that she was doing a circus themed reception with tons of fun DIY details…I was ecstatic!  Her parents have been involved in designing and producing productions for years, so I knew they would pull it off…but I didn’t expect to cry when I saw the reception space! It was absolutely blow your mind amazing!

As incredible as the reception space was, with the circus games for the kiddos, the cotton candy, peanuts and snow cones, it was really the vibe of the whole day that made it so special. The parents of the bride and groom had been friends for years…these two met when they were around 8 years old….when the families went on vacation together. Sparks flew for Spencer…and not for Danika….and a few years later, when Danika’s family were missionaries in Spain, Spencer’s family came to visit…and the rest was a few years of skype dating and a long distance love that grew.

Watching these two sweet families so joyous about their children’s union, was such a cool event to be a part of! My husband and I both loved being a there and capturing this event. As their parents waived to them after their exit and called out, “With permission! With permission!” I busted out into my 5 set of tears of the day, and thought to myself….THIS is what I want for my 2 darling children for their wedding day ! A wonderful family joining another family with tons of joy and celebration. This is what I will pray for them!

I love when brides have two (or more) pairs of shoes for her wedding day! And I LOVED these blinged out converse! And her get away shoes were pretty amazing too!

Lovin her get away dress!!

A little GO TEAM before they headed out!

What a cute idea for well wishes for the bride and groom! 

There was so much love going on in this family! 

I loved this moment between Danika and her dad! Such a sweet moment!

I love sisters! :)

Danika & Spencer! What can I say??? Honestly. Look at this picture below. How would you not just love these two…just by this one image! These two, their wedding party and their family just made our job so fun last saturday!  Our whole day was a mixture of laughing and crying! It was FAB-U-LOUS!!!  Lets just say…that when I walked into the reception area….I literally cried! It just took my breath away…but you will have to wait to see those images! :) I will leave you with a few from their first look! These two were made for each other!  Lots more images to come.

Karlie and I have a lot in common. We both have a love of worship leading, an affinity for sparkle and a thing for great shoes (if you didn’t see their engagement session….she had some amazing shoes for it!)  This amazing dress (from one of my favorite local bridal boutiques, From the Gown Up in Snohomish, Washington), was incredible!! I loved all the sparkle and ruffles! It blew me away when Karlie first put it on….she definitely made a grand entrance!! :)

I was loving these gorgeous wedding shoes with a little sparkle! A girls got to have her bling! 

 This all white bridal bouquet created by Flowers By Tiffany was simply stunning!! I love the little added bling on the stems!

I loved these bridesmaids while bouquets as well! So gorgeous! 

I love the moment when a dad gets to see his baby girl all ready in her wedding gown. For some reason in that exact moment, I fast forward 20 years to the day my daughter will get married someday. My husband and my daughter have special relationship and I know its going to be an emotional time for us…just as it was for Karlie and her dad.  I loved being able to capture it!

What a sweet brides gift from the groom!
