Friends Wedding at Vanzandt Hall in Snohomish, WA ~ Rhea and Kieran | Olympia Wedding Photographer

 

I've known Rhea for almost ten years so it was so exciting to watch her get married and even better to be able to capture it. Rhea and Kieran weren't going to have a wedding photographer but I was like GIRL, NO. I really wanted them to have photos so I gave them a friend's discount that worked for their budget. Normally I wouldn't want to work at a friend's wedding but their's was so laid back and they trusted me to do whatever I wanted that I really had fun with it. I'm so glad I was able to capture these beautiful images of such a fun and special day.

 

Beachside Wedding in Ocean Shores, WA ~ Kat and Thom | Olympia Wedding Photographer

 

I'll be honest, this was my first wedding I've done professionally since working with families and babies over the past four years and I was particularly nervous since it was going to be on the beach in bright sun in the middle of the day. But my resourcefulness kicked in and I managed to find some great places for group photos and portraits. Kat and Thom were so gracious and sweet together. They had their intimate wedding reception at the Galway Irish Pub which was fitting since Kat comes from a big Irish family. I'm ready and excited to photograph more weddings this season in Olympia and elsewhere in Washington.
