Here are a few fun images from the engagement session last month – I can’t wait for the wedding!!

Today – I want to talk about their save the dates…. I don’t even know where to start. It was a dark and stormy night…. just kidding – it was in Aaron & Ryan’s warehouse. ;0) We had an idea – and through the awesomeness of lenticular printing we were able to ROCK this save the date!! With a Halloween theme, we chose 2 final photos and them printed them on the same frame — using the ridges of the lenticular printing process if you tilted the image left- it was a nice sweet couple… if you tilted it to the right… JOHN WAS MURDERING TRESSA!!! EEEEEK!

Okay – I know I’m a visual story teller – so check it out!

P.S – No people were harmed in the making of this photograph, but we can thank Ryan Barr & Aaron Bird for lending their warehouse space, Megan with A Kurant Event wedding planning for coordinating, May Wyatt of Wyatt Ink invitation design, I snapped the photos and of course John & Tressa for their baddass idea and super cute modeling skills.  ;0)

January 21st was an AMAZING day!  A sunny day in Seattle, The Arctic Club, Tiffany & Brian had a celebration of marriage and all of their closest friends & family were there and it was… A SUNNY DAY IN JANUARY IN SEATTLE!!!!!

Here are a few of my favorite images from the big day. ;0)

P.S – this is a GIVER wedding too!!  Barbara bid on me in the auction at Get Hitched Give Hope!!  This wedding helped to grant final wishes of very deserving people – AMAZING!!  Thank you Barbara for being a giver, and for an amazing time on the Big Island!

The wedding was at the Hawaii Island Resort – a yoga retreat on the Big Island. **GORGEOUS!!**

While the girls were getting ready in the honeymoon suite, the rest of the family & guests were down at the poolhouse making leis and beautiful pieces for their hair.

The girls had a peaceful morning of champagne and fun stories – but the boys… I haven’t heard this much laughter in a really long time – they had a GREAT time getting ready for the wedding!

Nathan blew a conche to let the guests know they should head down to the ceremony site that overlooked the ocean – what a gorgeous view!

Hawaiian ceremonies are now my favorite!!  Kissing is encouraged throughout the ceremony – AND did you know that eskimo kisses are also a hawaiian tradition too?  Alaska and Hawaii have so much in common. ;0)

This dance was dedicated from Sarah & Dan to Barbara as a thank you for all of her hard work – she did such an amazing job!  What a beautiful dance too – brought tears to her eyes!

Let me just say – most hilarious and sweet father of the bride toast – Gary, you did a GREAT job with this!!  We laughed, we cried, we drank… a lot!!  Great toast!

The party went until the wee hours in the morning - 

A big thank you to my Mom – Linda! You are the BEST!!  Thank you for taking a week off of work to come down and hang out, help me take photos (great 2nd shooter!) and to dance your feet off with me!  What fun we had – lets go again next year!  I love you!!
