Lauren and Jake were a long time coming.  We knew from the first time we met them that their wedding would be amazing.  The chemistry between these two is off the charts and if you saw any of their engagement photos on our Facebook or Instagram pages, you know what we’re talking about.

It had been about a year since we’d photographed an Arctic Club wedding.  In fact, it was Monica and Bub’s iconic wedding that was featured on the Junebug Wedding blog that caught Lauren’s eye.  We’re always up for a swanky wedding but add to that Lauren and Jake’s great attitudes and the fantastic vendor team they put together and we were over the moon.  Check out the slideshow of their day above and see what all the gushing is about!

Ravishing Radish put the East facing chalk wall to clever use by writing out, not only their menu on it, but by listing the hashtags for the evening’s event!  Combine that with Crimson Haze’s uplighting that smoothly transitioned through different colors that gave the room a constantly changing coloring, the space was transformed into something unique in just two elements.  July Floral did darling little arrangements on the cocktail tables with one large, sculptural piece that worked perfectly amongst the concrete.  Even though we were there as the sun was getting really intense and setting, the light in the space never became blinding and only added to the airy vibe.

This event featured the talents of:  Venue – Hotel Max’s Artists’ Loft /  Catering – Ravishing Radish /  Pies – A la Mode /  Florals – July Floral /  Lighting – Crimson Haze /  Paper Suite – Paper Fling /  Music – Bamboo Beats

Picked up the latest copy of Seattle Metropolitan Bride and Groom and turned to the back page?  If so, you’ve seen the cute mugs of Henry and Oliver – the French Bulldogs rescued by our wonderful grooms, Matt and Nolan.  These two created a swanky and refined wedding day and pioneered the first outdoor rooftop cocktail reception at the Four Seasons Hotel.  All the while, they found ways to fold in their pups – The furry ring bearers who are apt to give love to EVERYONE were slowed coming down by the aisle by Matt’s niece dropping goldfish instead of flower petals.  The party just grew and grew through the evening as the toasts brought up classic childhood stories and even a show and tell of an old cub scout uniform.  Perhaps the most jaw dropping was the surprise for everyone when a core group of friends busted out a dance that was straight out of boy band choreography.  It was the BEST!!!  Enjoy a look at the day below :)

Our clients, Mallory and Brian were in attendance

Every year, hundreds of people attend one of the most unique wedding shows in the Northwest, Weddings in Woodinville.  It’s singular in that venues across Woodinville {ahem, wine and whiskey!} come together to create a circuit.  At each venue, a coordinator leads up a team of vendors that transform the venue into wedding perfection.  It’s a perfect chance to not only see what the venue looks like set for a wedding, but to really feature the talents of each member of that team.  It’s an accurate reflection of their real world skills all served up along with fantastic catering and beverages throughout the day as you shuttle from one location to the next.  It’s no surprise that it sells out consistently!

This year, we were invited to be the featured photographer on the team at Woodinville Whiskey Co as led by Holly Patton of Perfectly Posh Events.  Her design concept was a lush and lovely, Citrus Countryside theme.  Together with the team, they transformed Woodinville Whiskey Co’s upstairs event space so that it echoed the wine regions of Europe.  Butter & Bloom created the perfect florals for the concept integrating refined elements of brass candlesticks that absolutely sang on top of the Seattle Farm Tables.  SongBird Paperie set the

tone of the event with their cheery invitations washed in citrus tones and even creating a subtle logo of citrus that carried through to the announcement chalkboard.  Anchoring the tablescape was a beautiful macaron tower from The SweetSide.  Additional elements completed the look from Vintage Ambiance, ABC Special Event Rentals, and the full team listed below!

As if the design of Citrus Countryside wasn’t beautiful enough in the light, bright, and airy Winter day we had, at about 2pm, a stream of sunlight beamed in and created the most romantic and {I think} Renaissance style mood amongst the lush florals and deep wood tones.  We just adore this set of images and hope you do, too!
