"Ring Security" in Action at William and Lauren's Wedding

Kent and I always head to the photo booth at wedding receptions.  Sad face ... I wasn't able to attend this one ... so Kent went looking for trouble.

He found Hunter and Chase, the ring bearers.  Both were wearing their "Ring Security" t-shirts and ready for action.

The three had a pretty good time, I'd say.

Lauren sent along the photos.  So glad she did!

Photobooths are just plain fun!

Love Him, Love Her, Think We'll Get Married In Seattle!

Don't they look happy!  I think "the reveal" is so great.  The bride and groom have a private moment to take in the significance of their impending marriage; to share their joy, their excitement, their anticipation; and, to take photographs that will be treasured for life.

That's what Peter and Lacy decided to do!  Those wise people.

And, they had so much fun.

Then, on to the ceremony at the Washington Athletic Club. 

 

Loved how Lacy included a momento of her mother, who has passed on, in her bouquet.  Isn't this a wonderful idea?

 The wedding party was all set.

Personal touches + Personal words = Great Wedding Day!

Here's what Lacy loves about Peter:

"You appreciate how important family is to Peter and how caring he is:  he goes above and beyond for everyone he knows.  He is a person you can always rely on:  he listens with an oopen heart and provides a shoulder for you to lean on.  Peter has a good sense of humor and can always make you laugh.  His laughter is contagious and reminds you of your mother.  He is an overall wonderful man and you love him dearly."

And what Peter loves about Lacy:

"You are totally smitten about Lacy:  she is beautiful and filled with good energy.  She has complete confidence in you, which makes you feel good about yourself.  Just being around Lacy is great:  she is encouraging, has a great sense of humor, and get along with everyone.  Lacy is your best friend and you can't image life without her." 

Hand in Hand

Married ... and delighted!!!

Mr. and Mrs!

Also loved the photo booth and guest book, where everyone could create their own message next to their photo.  Always great fun!

Here's one of our pics.

Fell in love with Kent because
he's so cute!!!

Bryan Loves Kelly, Kelly Loves Bryan!

Very happy to share a photo montage of this wonderful wedding at Bear Creek Country Club.  Many thanks to Red Fish Blue Fish Photography for the photos!!!

The guys were looking quite dashing, from the ring bearer to the groom.

The gals were all decked out and ready to celebrate a wedding.

The two ladies are one of my favorite photos.
Idyllic.

Time for the ceremony -- the ring bearer and flower girl did so well.  Aren't they the best?

Tents with draping make a wedding so romantic!

Bear Creek Country Club has a beautiful tent and is a sweet place to wed.

Everyone was so happy ... Kelly and Bryan's love was apparent!

The ceremony was very lovely and included a unity sand ceremony.

Love butterfly releases. 
Such a natural way to celebrate love.

This was followed by a butterfly release!  This is so much fun.  It is a ceremony element that remains forever hopeful.  Just the idea of the butterflies carrying the wishes for the bride and groom's happiness and love to the heavens is a sweet one.

At the reception, the Candy Bar was a big hit!

Kelly and Bryan, along with their guests, danced the night away to the music DJ'd by Sounds Unlimited.  Wishing them a lifetime of great softball games (that's how they met), great dancing, and a great love.


The wedding ceremony was personal to the couple, with words about their initial meeting, what they loved about each other, what they were looking forward to in their life together, a unity celebration they liked and, of course, the butterfly release that was so dear to Kelly's heart.  For help in creating your "dream wedding ceremony," please call us at (206)789-9788 or email us at www.aheavenlyceremony.com.

Photo Booths

What a group!

Last night while Kent and I were talking with a couple who were planning their wedding, the topic of doing something fun and unusual during the reception came up ... and I remembered what a great time we always have with photo booths.

At the Seattle Wedding Expo last weekend, there were two variations.  The Aura Photo Booth is actually a draped space that allows quite a few people to be included in the photo.  The photos to the right include one officiant (me), four photographers and a facility coordinator.  We are a fine looking group, aren't we? 

The advantages of this booth is that there is room for a number of people to be included in the photo, they do provide props for fun photos and each person receives a copy of the images. 

Other booths we recently have had tried out are 321 Photo and Robert Riner Studios.

The other possibility was offered by Vivid Images Photography.  Kimberly Halinen had a red curtain set up and a number of wooden signs and props.  She had flash on stands and personally took the photos.

What I liked about this booth was the interaction with Kimberly, the playfulness of the signs and glasses and more, the ability to take a number of photos and the quality of the images.

Jennifer and Scott of Red Fish Blue Fish also offer such a booth called Studio-On-The-Go.  

What a great idea all around.  Thanks everyone for the possibilities of great memories.

Yes, we to attend a lot of weddings, receptions, shows and open houses so we have a chance to experiment and try things.  For ideas, please contact us at 206.789.9788 or through our website.
