Ian Weds Olivia at Hidden Meadows

The day was brilliant.  Blue skies, a few billowly white clouds, sun, warmth  -- it was if the Mother Earth was celebrating the union of Olivia and Ian.

Bride and groom were glowing!  And you can just see the love between the two.

The groomsmen gathered and just enjoyed each other's company before the ceremony.  

(We help coordinate with the other wedding professionals before the ceremony and organize the procession so the wedding party can just enjoy themselves.)

The ladies were taking in the moment too.  I love this photo!

Olivia looked stunning!  Her dress, hair, jewelry, makeup --- it all came together beautifully.

Each wrote their own vows.

Here is an excerpts of their words:

Ian said to Olivia:
You are my sun
You are my moon
You are the stillness in the night
You made me who I am
You changed me for the better
Now my heart is unlocked
And it is yours forever

We will be until the end of time

Olivia expressed to Ian:

The love we have is indescribable to the world.

There have been bumps, rocks, cliffs and mountains

  on our journey to this day

which brings our new beginning to our present and future life,

  making a new past as well.

We still hold hand in hand, heart in heart, after all this time.

And so the two were wed!  May their love open the way to share the amazing experiences of daily life.

Eric and Nicki Wed at Hidden Meadows

Rain or shine ... or any type of weather in between ... couples are assured of a great wedding day at Hidden Meadows.

With dramatic skies outside, Nicki and Eric wed inside.  The guests were comfortable while enjoying a view of the ceremony and the land beyond.

Nicki looked amazing in her gown from American Rose Bridal in Poulsbo.

More parents are escorting brides down the aisle.  I love how Nicki's folks are holding hands at this poignant moment.

The ceremony began with a lovely reading by Brother Thomas à Kempis:

Love is a mighty power, a great and complete good.

Love alone lightens every burden, 

  and makes rough places smooth. 
Nothing is sweeter than love, nothing stronger, 

  nothing higher, nothing wider,
Nothing more pleasant,
Nothing fuller or better in heaven or earth. 

Words of promise and inspiration, words of possibilities and hope.  A great way to begin life together.

All went well and there was obvious delight when the two were married!

And it always good to just take in the moment and enjoy a kiss.

We wish Nicki and Eric the very best.  A solid roof over a warm home in which to share their love, no matter the weather!

The efforts of so many people, the bride and groom, their families and wedding party, and the wedding professionals all come together on "the day."  Many thanks to Kruse Portrait Design for capturing the day in images.

Ryan and Natalie's Wedding at Hidden Meadows

The day was amazing!!! March was in its "lamb" phase ... to the delight of everyone, especially the couple, Natalie and Ryan.


Here are their words:

THANK YOU! We are so pleased with absolutely everything! It's amazing how you plan for the day months in advance with the hope that it will turn out. In our case, it did!  Thank you Pat. You are amazing and we enjoyed every minute of working with you.

Ryan and Natalie had decided to enroll in our premarital preparation, which was a good experience and gave us an opportunity to learn about each other before we began planning for their ceremony. I was just so happy for them!

Family and friends happily gathered at Hidden Meadows to witness and celebrate their wedding vows. The hall was festive and filled to capacity, the words crafted with care to reflect them, the music inspired.

Flowers were laid precisely for the bride, with great care and attention.

The anticipation of Natalie actually walking down the aisle with her father was irrepressible.



Tears of joy and words of love were expressed as the rings were exchanged and the vows were sealed.





Then, it was time to relax and celebrate. Guests made their way to the reception hall and the wedding party stayed together, more photographs were taken and all shared the joy of the moment.






Ryan and Natalie had a chance to just be together and take in the moment before the wedding party formally entered the reception.












At the end of the evening, guests gathered, sparklers in hand, to see the couple off.












A sweet end to a wonderful day!
