Intimate Wedding of Ari and Ben at Carkeek Park

We love this park ... and often walk the area or bicycle to it.  In fact, Ben and Ari are standing at one of our favorite spots!

The couple found a quiet place to exchange their vows.


Love brings happiness ... and it is irresistable.

This is a very, very happy couple!










Married!!!  And life is good.

 


Wishing Ari and Ben a most wonderful and long life together!!

Private Wedding Ceremony at the Rotunda in Olympia

Photo by Christina Salerno

Talk about the "Wow" factor!  This is certainly the place.

Kent and I didn't even know you could wed here ... but you can.  You apply for a permit and you have an hour to perform the ceremony and take photos.


So when Lin and Taofei contacted us about their ceremony, it was such a delightful surprise.

The bride and groom decided on a 7:00am ceremony so it wouldn't be very busy in the Rotunda.  (As you may know, Kent isn't a morning person but he was up at 4:30am and excited about the wedding ceremony.) Once Taofei and Lin arrived on site, there were a number of beautiful places to choose from.

One of the things we love about intimate weddings is that they can be so very personal and unique.  There were words about how they met in undergrad school and their relationship developed to the point Lin and Taofei decided to wed.

Wishing the two a lifetime of happiness and prosperity in all things!

A Very Happy Couple Weds At The Salish Lodge

This is Luis and Miki - aren't they the most adorable?  Like all couples on their wedding day, these two were so very happy:  they simply radiated joy!

Luis and Kent were ready and waiting for the ceremony to begin.  Don't they look pretty relaxed though?  This photo really makes me smile.



 




Miki and Luis decided to be traditional and see each other first at their ceremony.

It was a sweet, elegant celebration.



 

Miki and Luis also included a unity candle lighting.  

 MARRIED!

Afterwards, it was time to take some wedding photos at various locations around the Salish Lodge and Spa. 

The library ...

The reception area...

The grounds...

And, of course, Snoqualmie Falls!

Wishing the Mr. and Mrs. a very happy, adventurous, loving and long-lived life together!

The beautiful photographs were taken by Wina Beals.

Love is Our True Destiny - Thomas Merton

Destiny:  Joe and Michelle were meant to be together!  The two found themselves at the same place one morning.  Their paths had crossed and love was in their stars.

Joe described how he saw Michelle's eyes, yes, across the room, and knew she would be the woman he would one day wed.

Michelle realized she was in love when she took a trip to Boston and all she could think about was Joe.

So, of course, their mutual love lead to marriage!

It was an intimate ceremony which reflected deep feelings and great joy.

Wishing the two a love which grows endlessly with each passing year!!

Love Melts the Snow at Laura and Phil's Winter Wedding

Phil and Laura traveled all the way from Texas to wed at Alexander's Country Inn and Restaurant near Mt. Rainier National Park!

You see they visited the Park before and had a special moment at Narada Falls so it was the natural choice for their intimate ceremony.


 

Loved the outfits!!  A classic black-and-white wedding.

(Alexander's also congratulates the couple on their sign!)

Laura made her entrance on the path near the pond.  She carried a bouquet of white tulips.








The bride and groom and Kent settled into a protected place under a fir tree and the ceremony began.

The ceremony was sweet and simple, as beautiful as the setting itself.

Laura and Phil wrote their own vows -- that really makes a ceremony very special.

Then it was time to seal their vows with a kiss.

Mr. and Mrs. were beaming -- shining with love!

Wishing them the very best in the married life adventure:  exploring new places and always having a warm and loving home to return to.

Chris and Morgan Wed Medieval Style

Kent and I had so much fun this afternoon!  Chris and Morgan celebrated their ceremony which was witnessed by their parents and friend.  





 

The attire was creative, the people were friendly, the event was joyous!

Chris and Tim arrived in street clothes and transformed into their medieval alter egos.

Soon after, Morgan arrived and stayed out of sight so she could make her grand entrance with her father, Rene.












The ceremony was a sweet one.  












Vows were exchanged and a ring given to seal their promises.

And, the way the bride and groom looked at each other was totally engaging.














Afterwards, a hand washing ritual took place.  The idea is that the past is cleared away and the two begin their life together anew.














And, then the kiss!
