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! 

COUNT DOWN TO SATURDAY!

I can't believe the concert is almost here! I can't wait for it to finally happen after MONTHS of planning. Most of you already know the situation from my previous posts about him, but in a nutshell, Danny and I have been on a committe to plan a benefit concert and auction for our little love Karson Riggs, who has SPINAL MUCULAR ATROPHY type I

PLEASE come to this amazing evening! You don't have to personally know the Riggs to come bid on our MANY fun items (more to come on that..) or just enjoy a concert put on by the amazing Brenn Hill!

For pre-sale tickets, call

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...
