Gi & Welles’ Music Filled Weekend Garden Wedding

Carnation Farms | Carnation, Wa

Hey PNW couples and fellow wedding enthusiasts! 🌲💕

I recently had the honor of photographing the most enchanting wedding at Carnation Farms, and let me tell you, it's a venue straight out of a photographer's wildest dreams!

Picture this: The bride and her squad donning matching floral PJs, toasting with champagne – a candid moment that set the tone for the day. The first look on a picturesque tree-lined path? Emotions running high, and my camera was there to freeze those genuine reactions in time.

The heartfelt card exchange during the first look? Priceless. It added an extra layer of intimacy to the day, resulting in some of the most heartwarming shots. Now, let's talk about the reception at the Hippodrome – a historic horse stadium from 1922. Wooden beams, a bow roof, and framed openings provided the perfect backdrop for capturing those epic dance floor moments.

The ceremony in the heritage rose garden and cocktail hour on the great lawn? A photographer's paradise! The variety of settings at Carnation Farms allowed me to capture a diverse range of shots, from intimate moments to grand celebrations.

And can we talk about the dessert bar instead of a traditional cake? It not only satisfied sweet cravings but also made for some visually stunning photos.

Now, the pièce de résistance – sunset photos with the Cascade Mountains in the background. The golden hour at Carnation Farms is pure magic, and it provided the most breathtaking backdrop for capturing the newlyweds in their element.

For my couples looking for the perfect canvas to bring their summer camp style wedding weekend vision to life, Carnation Farms is the answer. The venue can accommodate up to 750 guests and offers everything you need for a seamless photography experience – from a fully equipped kitchen to on-site catering.

Sure, the Weekend Wedding package comes with a $70,000 price tag, but the investment is well worth it for a venue that turns every frame into a masterpiece. Plus, with most guests staying onsite for the weekend, the photo opportunities are endless.

Carnation Farms isn't just a venue; it's a storyteller's haven. If you're a wedding planner or a couple searching for a place where love and moments are perfectly captured, look no further. 🌟💑

Katherine & David's

Nautical Tented Wedding on the Seattle Waterfront

The Woodmark Hotel

Woodmark Hotel Wedding - Katherine & david8.jpg

Katherine & David tied the knot at one of my favorite waterfront wedding venues in the greater Seattle area,

The Woodmark Hotel.

Absolutely thrilled to capture the magic of Katherine and her groom's unforgettable day at the Woodmark Hotel in Kirkland, WA! 📸 The timeless blush color palette they chose is an absolute dream and every shot is Pinterest-worthy perfection. 💖

The Woodmark Hotel's waterfront suite provided a stunning backdrop for the pre-wedding preparations, complete with matching blush and crisp white robes for the bridal party. Capturing those moments as Katherine stepped into her lace dress and the groom buttoned up his Indochino suit was a photographer's delight. And that first look on the grand staircase? Pure joy and romance captured in every frame.

Venturing over to the Carillon Point docks for bride and groom photos was a highlight, with sweeping views of Lake Washington creating a picturesque setting. The Woodmark Terrace Tent, where the ceremony took place, offered a perfect blend of elegance and natural beauty against the Pacific Northwest backdrop.

The real magic happened after the vows, with a champagne joyride on The Chris Craft II—a vintage wooden boat owned by the Woodmark. Gourmet appetizers, bubbly champagne, and the stunning views from the boat provided unique photographic opportunities that truly tell the story of their special day.

Returning to Carillon Point dock for the reception entrance was a dynamic moment to capture, leading to a delightful evening in the ballroom. The dessert bar, the first dance, parent dances, and the lively dance floor moments—all beautifully documented to create a visual narrative of their idyllic waterfront wedding.

In summary, it was an honor to photograph such a personalized and joyous celebration, filled with love, laughter, and unforgettable moments. Cheers to Katherine and her groom, and here's to many more years of capturing the magic of love in the Pacific Northwest! 🥂📸
