Brady and Josie PART II: Seattle Temple

Here's part two of Brady and Josie's wedding- the temple! They were so sweet and SO happy, it was so sweet just watching them interact. While they looked beautiful, the weather was pretty typical for Seattle... rain. and lots of it. So if you're wondering why the umbrellas were in so many shots, well, it was a necessity. 

How cute is Brady hugging Josie's little sis Sofia (a.k.a. flower girl extraordinaire)? 

sweet Sofia...

and daddy

After all the family left, Brady and Josie had their own private ring exchange in the wooded area on temple grounds. They exchanged vows and poured their hearts out- it was the sweetest thing I have ever (over)heard! I was totally crying while I took these. 

We stayed in this area and kept it pretty short for our "temple" shots since the actual temple was covered in scaffolding. Plus the trees protected us from the rain a little!

what do you think? any favorites?

coming next:

my FAVORITE part, our DOWNTOWN shoot! 

FINALLY!!! brady and josie, part I

Remember this picture? It is by far and away probably one of my favorite wedding shots, and definitely the most viewed of any of my photos ever (according to flickr). So why have I been avoiding posting the rest? Because it was overwhelming. This couple is TOO perfect and I have hundreds and hundreds and HUNDREDS of good shots. So I decided to break it up! I thought this would be a great way to show off what you get when you book my unlimited wedding package, memories from your ENTIRE wedding day, from the moment you start getting ready until you leave your reception that night. enjoy part one...

can you GET any cuter??!

I had SO much fun shooting this adorable family! I grew up with Mike who is now the proud daddy of this bunch. I couldn't have asked for anything more with this shoot-  Mike and Melissa are such a sweet couple, Maddie and Lily are soooo adorable, and they picked their outfits PERFECTLY (coordinating style/colors, not matchy) and brought the best little prop... you'll see...     btw. this was shot in downtown Kirkland while I was in Seattle for Brady and Josie's wedding. You can bet this won't be the last time I shoot here!  Thanks Hancocks for the fantastic evening!

the prop. I want this blanket. I need this blanket. I daydream about it still! Only Melissa's great grandmother made it, so I think I'm out of luck.
