Rain. When you get married in the PNW, it happens. It’s always a little stressful as a photographer, the beautiful sunlight that you dreamt of the night before is just that, a dream. You can’t rely on the beautiful backdrop of the water, or the sunlit trees, you have to scramble to find locations that are still beautiful, but not wet. When I arrived at The Seattle Yacht Club that rainy Saturday morning, I was expecting to see a bride in tears, a family in chaos. That was not the case at all. I arrived to find a happy and warm family finishing up final details, a bride who was glowing and laughing with her friends, and a groom who was beyond excitement.
The rain never let up, and we carried on. We did portraits under the canopy of a huge tree, under the over hang of the club, and in other random nooks and crannies. It was great, mostly because Caiti + Robby were so funny, laid back, and beyond eager to get married.
Thank you Caiti + Robby for showing me that the rain can be fun!
One of my favorite moments from a wedding this summer. Caiti’s brother said a few words, and then had the entire crowd shout “Caiti” and “Robby” over and over until the crowd was really charged up. It was awesome.
The SpaceBand, from Bellingham. A great cover band that really got that crowd dancin’.
sean - kim, you’re awesome
Kim - you are just rocking that tilt shift! i can’t say exactly why, but that shot of her holding the bouquet with the tree next to her is one of my favorite flower shots ever. looks like it was a fun night, especially with a live band! hooray for live music!
