Woodmark Hotel Wedding
Andrew & Ahlim’s waterfront Woodmark Hotel wedding was so perfect last weekend. The couple exchanged vows in a tented ceremony with close family and friends overlooking lake Washington and then took a cruise aboard the Woodmark II, the 1956, 28-foot Chris-Craft Sedan Express. The couple got ready in a suite at the Woodmark overlooking the lake. Upon arrival in the suite, I immediately noted DOZENS of long stem red roses, thoughtfully sent to from the groom. What a class act!! We did their first look in the Rose Garden right next to the shore. After their first look, we headed over to do some photos on the docks then on the nautical staircase inside the hotel. Shortly after, the bridesmaids joined us on the dock in flowing dusty blue gowns and matching ‘bride tribe’ sunglasses. (A gift from the bride!)
They tied the knot at the same wedding venue as Kathleen & Michael, in the tent overlooking the lake. Their gorgeous husky dog, Ariya also made the walk down the aisle.
Thank you, Andrew & Ahlim, for trusting me with documenting your wedding day, it was such a pleasure to document this beautiful waterfront Woodmark wedding for you!
