So after their lovely ceremony, the reception got rocking almost immediately. Brooke and Derek thought of so many great details - fish bowls as centerpieces, a fair-style photobooth, mini frames at every place setting and super cool wine cork place cards. During dinner, DJ ‘DK’ started the song “that’s amore” - everyone rose to their feet and began to swing their napkins in the air while belting out the song. The toasts were touching and totally funny when one groomsman recited the lyrics to the “Golden Girls” theme song. The cupcakes from Cupcake Royale were yummy and the music was great! The couple and I stole away to take some night shots out in Post Alley but returned quickly so they could rock out with all of their friends. The after party was at Kells in Post Alley and I hear some folks closed the place down! The party didn’t stop there - Derek and Brooke organized the first “Beals Bowl-o-rama” in West Seattle Saturday morning and they asked me to come along. What an amazing group of people they have in their lives - I was honored to be a part of their events and really hope to have this couple in my life for a long time to come!
