Can I just say…we love our clients!! :) Some of the most fun people I’ve met have been my brides and grooms and Karen and Travis (& Buster!) are no exception! We had serious fun at their Swan’s Trail Farm wedding in August. It was a night to remember…from a sweet Buster Ring Bearer…to the groom singing a Marky Mark and the Funky Bunch song….Good Vibrations! Raise your hands if you remember that one! :) I believe I had the cassette tape! :)

I loved all of Karen & Travis’ fun DIY details! Some of my faves were:

• The burlap runners for the tables
• The Jenga Guest Book
• The clothespin seating chart
• The burlap heart silverware pouches
• the wood block table numbers & pinwheels
• The suitcase card holder
• the glow stick table for the exit (i think most of these glowsticks ended up on the dance floor…which i LOVED!!)
• Buster’s Cake

Such a privilege to be a part of this fabulous day! Thank you Karen & Travis for letting us be a part of your wedding day!!

If you are looking for a wedding photographer that loves DIY weddings….I’m your girl! I LOVE all of those fun DIY details that you work so hard on…probably because I love to create stuff myself. I would love to hear all about the details of your day, email me at Kaylee@eylanderphotography, or visit my contact page! I can’t wait to hear from you!

I really love Port Gamble. Its quaint, gorgeous and full of history. Its sleepy and quiet, but full of beauty. I can’t wait for another reason to load up on the ferry and head over.

We just had so much fun at this vintage, DIY wedding…lots of fun mustaches and lips! :) And  whole lot of love to go around!

Travis & Lauren….are never going to be bored. He is a hoot…and keeps her laughing constantly!

I loved that Lauren had her “sexy shoes” and the navy vans that she actually wore during the wedding! SO fun!!!

The Favors for this wedding was delicious (hand made by the Mother of the Bride) strawberry preserves! So cute…and tasty too!

I don’t know why…but burlap just makes me happy! Its the texture…or the simplicity of it…but i loved these tables with burlap runners, dahlias in mason jars and succulents in little votives! So lovely! I also am a big fan of pictures…if you can’t tell…and all the photos of these guys growing up just made the venue feel homey and comfortable! 

I get alittle teary when I look at the image below…there is something so special about the bond between a close mother and daughter…You can just see it in their eyes. :) I fast forward to my daughters wedding in my mind…all though she’s only 7 now, I know its going to come way too quickly!

I don’t have any tattoos…but this LOVE tattoo is one i wouldn’t mind having…pretty and modern…so cute!

I have been loving the boutaneers that are hand made and will last after the wedding! These were put together by the mother of the bride…and they are magnets! Amazing! Love them! Another DIY project that you can put together months before the wedding…and have them last long after the wedding is over!

This was our first military wedding where the groom wore his dress blues. I told this to Travis….but I have to say it again…Thank you so much for the sacrifice you guys make to serve and protect our country. My husband and I are so grateful for what you do.

What goofballs!

I love shooting in downtown snohomish! I’m so glad the rain held off till late at night!!

Ok…in full disclosure, my hubby (and handsome 2nd shooter), Drew, shot these images out on the railroad tracks. I am absolutely afraid of heights and there was no way I could go out there….this is why my man and I make such a great team! Thanks Lauren & Travis…and your whole wedding party, for being braver than me!

I heart succulents!

Here’s some more from Colette & Bryan’s Wedding day! It was so much fun to be a part of. I loved her short style wedding dress…and those shoes! When I asked her which shoes were hers, she said, ” they are the ones that look like a garden!” ah…yes they do!

one of my favorite moments of this awesome wedding ceremony was when Bryan and Colette offered each other’s children each a ring, as they are celebrating the blending of their families. I had to say that I got a bit choked up, along with the audience! That happens to me quite a bit!
