Dean and Ashley's Wedding Day

We arrived early to the Seattle Tennis Club on Saturday for the wedding of Dean and Ashley. So many prayers we spoken for just one more beautiful fall day - prayers answered with a spectacular day. Though a bit chilly at the start, the early morning fog made a wonderful backdrop with the rising sun breaking through on the clouds above a serene and moody Lake Washington.

Ashley's dress came from Paris - a handmade gown that fit her beautifully.
Alyssa took the following two pictures...she has such a wonderful eye for composition, and continues to inspire me with her creativity.
There was so much tender emotion expressed throughout Ashley and Dean's wedding day. Ashley had asked her dad to walk her to the dock where she was to meet Dean before the start of pictures. Here they embraced after seeing each other for the first time...
Every detail was carefully thought out - including the beautiful flowers which carried the fall theme.


While I was busy photographing Dean and his groomsmen outdoors, Gabriel and Alyssa had the fun of working with Ashley and her attendants inside on a stairwell. Hmmm...I think they had a lot more fun!
The morning fog lifted and the sun came out just prior to the start of the wedding ceremony. I am so glad that they were able to have their service outdoors, just as they had wanted.



Ashley and Dean, thank you for inviting us to participate in capturing your wedding day through images. We enjoyed getting to know you both and know that you have a wonderful future ahead of you. May your marriage have the blessing of your grandparents' longevity in love (65+ years, wow!), and may your lives be filled to overflowing with joy, laughter, kindness and love.
