Wedding ~ Brooke & Derek ~ Top of the Market ~ Part Two

April 1, 2009 – 3:13 am

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!

Wedding ~ Amy & Derek ~ The Sorrento Hotel

March 4, 2009 – 3:05 pm

Last Saturday evening, the Sorrento Hotel was a beautiful setting for Amy & Derek’s equally beautiful wedding.  I met Amy, her sister Katie and Amy’s sweet daughter Haley in their room late in the afternoon.  Hair and makeup was done before they got to the hotel, so there was time for a fun champagne toast before the ladies got dressed.  I was blessed with the awesome assistance of Jen Wade who went down to focus on details while I hung out with the ladies.  Amy’s dress was so beautiful and I loved the other dresses she chose for Katie and Haley - very classy.  Derek and Amy didn’t see each other until Amy walked down the aisle, but he was so sweet to send Amy an ‘I love you’ text while she was getting ready.  After taking some individual family portraits, the ceremony began.  Annemarie, their officiant, was so GREAT - she was so relaxed and warm.  Amy and Derek presented Haley with a beautiful necklace which was really touching (not a dry eye in the house during that one!)  After the ceremony, the new family and I headed downstairs for some portraits while the cocktail hour got underway.  Dinner smelled yummy and the cake tasted great!  I have really enjoyed getting to know this couple and can’t wait to hear how the honeymoon went!

Venue ~ Sorrento Hotel

Officiant ~ Annemarie Juhlian

Part Four ~ Amanda & Tarun ~ The Party

October 14, 2008 – 12:22 pm

After having two different wedding ceremonies, everyone was ready to get the party started!  I don’t think I’ve ever met such a genuinely nice, totally fun group of people!  The first photo is a close up of the centerpiece candle holder that Amanda’s father hand made.  It is beautiful.  Once the dancing started,  the fun didn’t stop.  After the traditional first dances - Amanda & Tarun surprised everyone with some high-energy Indian dancing - they were so great!  I shook my groove thang too and thanks to the super awesome Jennifer (who by the way, takes the BEST detail shots ever) you get to see my thang doing its shake.  This was a super fun weekend Amanda & Tarun - thank you SO much for including me!

~ Mariah & David ~

August 20, 2008 – 10:52 pm

Earlier this month, I had the great opportunity to work with Jackie Donnelly at a lovely wedding at Bethany Baptist Church in Puyallup. Mariah & David were so sweet with each other and their wedding party was so much fun! I especially loved it when the groomsmen sat on the statue of Jesus and the groom gave him a smooch and later when the bride and her bridesmaids gave us some “attitude”! I wish this sweet couple the very best and thanks to Jackie for inviting me along!
