Or at least pretty close to that :)

Well we found a few minutes on my birthday to take Viv out for some pictures... I haven't gone through them all yet but here are two of my early favorites and since I haven't done a Vivien update in a few months I thought I'd post a couple.... :)

P.S. If anyone is looking for Christmas cards or family portraits Steph still has some time available in November and early December with delivery in time for the holidays! :)

Love,

J+S and V

Amidst intermittent rain and the amazing Fall colors of the Pacific Northwest we had the privilege of photographing Adam and Bria's wedding this past weekend at the gorgeous Delille Cellars just outside of Seattle.  And like a sign from God the rains let up that afternoon for only about 45 minutes, the same 45 minutes in which the wedding ceremony was scheduled. It could not have been more perfect.





    




Love you guys!!

OK... Stephanie and I have been on the road almost since the day after this wedding so I haven't had a chance to update the blog but I we've been dying to share some images from this amazing wedding. The ceremony took place in the beautiful downstairs ballroom at The Stoneleigh Hotel with the reception following on the 11th floor penthouse. Mattie and Carl, we think you guys are awesome and we could not be more excited for you!!!



Vintage neon... hard to pass up :)

Mattie's purple heels were an inspiration for a lot of the decor

We'll be photographing Katie and Jordan's wedding next spring in Hawaii but we met up with them in Seattle when we were in town for Adam and Bria's wedding at the gorgeous Delille Cellars in Woodinville. In the end it was just too much to pass up the Fall colors and crisp afternoon light out on Puget Sound. Can't wait to see you again!!!

Love,

J+S

Meredith and Elliot race out of the Belo under cover of confetti. I always love this moment at weddings and I love their expressions in this image which just scream to me that they just had the best night of their lives

A quiet moment before the day really gets underway

Elliot's cuff links and studs were a family heirloom


On board the bus.. gotta love the shades

Outside on the deck of the Pavilion, Elliot and Meredith had a cigar roller and this image is of Meredith's grandfather, dad and uncle. Great wedding detail and we always love making images of the fellas.

Party favors made their way onto the dance floor late into the night, including a beach ball....

Meredith and her sister jump on stage and rock it out... :)

The last song of the night....
