Seattle is a GREAT City to Elope to!

What a wonderful experience!  Barry and Robert are a truly gracious couple from Florida.  They had heard so many good things about our fair Emerald City that they decided to wed here.

The two wanted a simple yet elegant ceremony and celebration.  We had communicated before they arrived and had prepared their ceremony via email and phone.  

Once in town (they stayed downtown), Robert and Barry became tourists with a purpose.  They began exploring where they wanted to wed.  The Olympic Sculpture Park had just the elan they were looking for.

The two decided on a common color scheme and ordered matching boutonnières.  Barry went with a long tie and Robert with a bow tie.  They looked quite dapper, don't you think!

 

We found a quiet, private place for the ceremony.

 

Vows were made and rings exchanged. 

 

And, of course, there was a moment just to take in everything!

Afterwards, photos.

The Sculpture Park offers so many options.   Here's one at The Cloud Cover wall.

A stop at the Wave Sculpture is a must!








Barry and Robert also shared some kind words about their ceremony experience.

"Pat was AMAZING! We had to plan everything from Florida via phone but she made it so easy. And the ceremony....could not have asked for anything better. She is professional, genuine, and I would highly recommend her services to anyone!"

 Wishing the two many fond memories of Seattle, the city where they wed, 

and a lifetime of happiness together!

Many thanks to Starr Samuelson of Starr Photography for the wonderful photos.

Robert and Kate Wed in A Private Adventure Wedding Ceremony

This week was a great one!  On Tuesday Robert and Kate, Lena Peterson, their photographer, Kent and I drove to the Mukilteo Ferry, then to South Whidbey State Park.

The bride and groom traveled from Ohio to wed in the beautiful Pacific Northwest. Actually, Robert planned this out as a surprise for Kate ... she was delighted!

As you may recall the day before the wedding was a stormy one and we were prepared for another blustery, rainy day:  raincoats, umbrellas, hiking boots ...

So what happened?  The rain stopped for a bit and the sun actually came out.  Woohoo!

We walked the 1/2 mile trail to the beach, stopping every once in awhile to take some photos. 




 

The leaves were vibrant!

Kate and Robert are of bold spirit, willing to take off their jackets and simply be warmed by their excitement and joy of the moment.

 




 


When we reached the water, there was a magnificent driftwood log.  A perfect setting for some dramatic photos.




 




It was here that we held the ceremony.  Robert and Kate shared personal vows that had some truly humorous moments. 













 
Isn't this absolutely fabulous!

We could see shafts of sunlight and sheets of rain in the distance.  Very dramatic.

 

And, of course, it was important to take some time and to share hugs and kisses.

 





A perfectly beautiful end to a perfectly beautiful day!

Wishing Robert and Kate a lifetime of happiness.  So glad we could share this very special time of their lives with them.

The photos are a collection of those Lena took, we took and Kate and Robert took.
