About time we posted a wedding, eh?

Well…. we are glad you think the same thing. Chad+Liz were our first wedding of the 2009 season (sort of…). We couldn’t have asked for a better wedding to kick off the year.

Party on…. you party people… you.

Wow. That was probably the most images we’ve had in a post. And you made it the

entire

way. You deserve a chocolate cake.

Congrats Chad+Liz! You two are incredible. Cheers to you both and the adventure that awaits you on the horizon.

So yesterday we joined Gabe+Rachael for their seriously amazing celebration. While importing (as I type) I ran across this image that Whitney grabbed of their bagpiper Neil.

Neil=stud.

Seriously. So if you need a bagpiper for your next backyard BBQ, wedding, or birthday shindig… look him up. We’ve worked with him twice now this summer and the dude is amazing.

On a side note…. our friend Craig had some last minute tickets on his list for tonights Dave Matthews show at the Gourge. We are excited on multiple levels to being going.

And for those that are keeping track… I officially blogged something every day for a month. They may not all have been pretty, or actually worth reading/looking at, but I did it. And I honestly can’t say that I have ever committed to something for a month and actually pulled it off. Other than sleeping and using the loo… but even those are questionable.

Regardless, you better believe I’m gonna keep it up. See ya tomorrow friends!

Ain’t no rain gonna ruin this party! What a beautiful day full of love, passion and joy, no matter what storms may have been lingering. What a remarkable day indeed…


We caught a little pre-festivities phone call between Kurt+Meg. I had no idea that W was snapping away on the other end, till I looked through them.

An adventurous couple indeed… We love it.

Waiting out the rain… always leaves room for amazing moments.

The courageous job of cutting the cake… someone’s gotta do it.

Moves were most definitely being busted…

Kurt+Meg… What a blessing it was to have been able to experience your day alongside your friends and family. Your passion to love the least is inspiring. We are so thankful for people like yourselves-people who are longing to see a new kingdom present in the world today. The fact that you gift was giving to those who need it most, says enough about who you are and who you live for. We are glad to know you both. Much love friends.

The moment that Whitney first met Nena, she knew this wedding would be an absolute blast. And we weren’t let down in the least. Ridiculously. Awesome.

They went for a black and white wedding, so we went for a little black and white sneak peak.

Enjoy.

Travis+Nena… Wow. You guys are incredible. Your hearts, passion, style and flava are ridiculous. Your wedding far exceeded the high expectations we had in the phenomenal category. Thanks for letting us be a part! You rocked our faces off. And I didn’t even know that was possible.

Here’s a little sneak peak from the ridiculously awesome wedding of Deron+Melissa. They just so happened to be the very first folks to book us in good ol’ Seattle. And I’m not sure if they even knew that. :)

Deron+Melissa… we couldn’t be more thrilled to have gotten to know you both (and Marcus) over the past few months. You are an incredible joy to be around and have an incredible family full of more smiles and laughs than one can handle alone! We could not have asked for a better start to working in Seattle!
