Last weekend, I had my one and only double wedding weekend of 2009, and although it was exhausting – how did I get through last summer?! – I had such a blast, photographing two spectacularly different but utterly fabulous weddings.
Saturday was Sonia and Tony’s big day. Remember their engagement session? I do, most fondly – and after spending a couple of hours hanging out with this crazy couple, I knew that their wedding would be a TON of fun. It did not disappoint! These guys are mad Seahawks fans, and they managed to bring in so much of their love for the game and their team whilst still having a beautifully elegant wedding. I was very excited to learn that their lovely officiant Lorin is the one and only Big Lo, “Seattle’s biggest sports fan” (check out his action figure at Archie McPhee’s!!)
Their venue was so pretty, and Sonia’s bright pink theme looked beautiful against the white tent and bright blue sky that we had all day. There’s too much good stuff to give a rundown of the whole day, but a few of my favorite things included Sonia’s heartfelt letter to Tony which she gave him just before the ceremony … their awesome doggies that were included in the wedding … little Seahawks touches sprinkled throughout (love the ice sculpture groom’s gift!) … couples portraits just before sunset … craziness on the dancefloor (I have never laughed so hard in my life) … Fiona’s awesome job with the photobooth (loving those pics) … and watching Tony watch his bride come down the aisle. It was beautiful. Huge congrats, guys, and thank you for including us in your fabulous celebration. Enjoy the teasers below, and the highlights slideshow, here.
