Chris + Shannon | Olympia, Washington Wedding

cs blog 71.jpg

Chris & Shannon got married in Olympia at her late father’s cabin, on a gorgeous peninsula, where all the guests got to travel to by boat. A beautiful ceremony including their family, with elements from Hawaiian tradition, complete with the blowing of the conch shell! A fantastic boat party after cocktail hour on the way to their reception at Hands On Children’s Museum—I kept texting my wife pictures, we can’t wait to take our boys here. What a cool place, and the perfect venue where the passel of kids (and adults!) got to play to their heart’s content!

Ben made the trek up with me + second shot like a hero as usual.

Cam & Mac | Thornewood Castle Wedding

We got to drive up to Tacoma for Cam & Mac’s wedding at the stunning Thornewood Castle. Subtle Beauty & the Beast stuff going on, perfectly placed at this incredible real-life castle venue. The perfect fairytale setting, complete with horse drawn carriage (!), dramatic balconies, and a bride and groom who just couldn’t get enough of each other. Cam & Mac are high school sweethearts with an amazing story already, and their joy, tears, and delight in each other all day was such an honor to photograph. Killer vows, incredible food, amazing dance party, and a sunset that busted out at the perfect time for post-wedding unwinding. Fun fact: we photographed Mac’s dad Kirk’s wedding together five years ago!
