Well I am so happy to kick off the month of June .. . with the beautiful, fun and funky engagement and wedding of Rebecca and Alex. When we met with them earlier this year, I knew they were our kind of a couple. Hey their save the date cards had a andy warhol pop art print of them - how cool is that? Only a few weeks before their wedding, Bryan shot their engagement in and around Seattle. As you can see from the first photo below, they got lucky and got such a pretty shot with birds flying over the sign as they kissed in front of the market. I love the photos of them at the Sculpture park . .isn't the one with their heads peeking over the side just too cute and creative? And how can you not love the kissing sign with the Dick's hamburger sign . .I think that's my favorite!
For their wedding they choose the very funky and awesome venue of the Georgetown Ballroom one of our new favorites. We started out the day by meeting up with them for some last minute getting ready shots and well how can you not say that the dress shot just completely and utterly rocks - I LOVE IT! And as you can see, Rebecca picked some very fun purple heels for the first part of the day and yes maybe Alex does need a little help (joke) for the wedding night. We did their first look at the same place and I love that kiss shot. It was then onto walk around Georgetown for more portraits and we had so much fun. I love the photo of them holding hands in front of the old garbage cangs . . .the one of Rebecca's veil up in the air . . the guys sitting down looking very cool and the promptu ring shot with the gnomes. They brought with them some very cool props, the funny wax lips and a giant diamond ring and then towards the end of our trip out for photos, we stumbled upon a group of people who didn't mind posing with them and that photo just makes me laugh.
During the ceremony, Rebecca had both her parents walk her down the aisle - a nice new tradition. That tiny space was packed with all their 250+ guests and can I tell you that they know how to throw a party? They had not 1, 2, 3, but 4 food stations for people to go to . . Dante's Hot Dogs (very yummy), Fresh Grilled Mexican Tacos with Rice & Beans and 2 different buffet stations inside. I thought it was such a great way to break up lines and let your guests have variety. In addition, they had the wonderful DJ of Chris with Wave Link Music, 321 Photo booth (what a fun service to have at your wedding - Bryan and I even hopped in for a cute photo), and then great Jeremy with Endless Love Productions. He was so fun and easy to work with, I recommend you check him out.
Towards the end of the night, we snuck out one last time to photograph them out and about and isn't the photo of them with the Taxi just gorgeous? Before they left, they changed into their cute honeymoon clothes and walked under sparklers. What a fun day - enjoy.
