last saturday, i had the pleasure of covering the wedding adventures of samantha and matt - a local (and i mean real local to me - living just down the way in Graham!) couple who's simple ceremony and private dinner party reception were SIMPLY PERFECT!

talk about a GORGEOUS group of women! and if you can believe it - they're all related! everyone of the bridesmaids were samantha's sisters and the lovely woman in red featured above - her stunning mother! i think it's safe to say we know where the girls get their looks! fabulous ladies! simply fabulous!

even the wildlife couldn't get enough of these two! this lil' bugger got a bit too close though - i had to run him off!

the Wright Park Seymour Conservatory is so perfect and usually off limits to shoot in unless you have a permit (teheee or a really charming smile!) It was an ideal location for the two's very intimate vows in front of immediate family.

after the short and incredibly sweet ceremony - we took off toward the reception on Tacoma's waterfront gem, C.I. Shenanigans. we stopped off at a few spots on the way there - couldn't have asked for more perfect shooting conditions on this early spring day especially since the forecast was for solid rain!

a big thanks to Melissa Anderson of Che'mel Salon for completely rockin' out samantha and the rest of the bridal party's makeup! having perfect, photo ready makeup done by a professional is a MUST for your wedding day and Melissa is truly one of the best!

these two were an absolute delight to photograph - every part of this blissed out day was filled with the carefree, loving attitude that they exude. i can't wait to share the rest of this moment in their life with you! stay tuned my friends!
