A friend had referred me to Anna and Forrest this past fall. When I met up with them, I knew they were put into my life for a reason. It was an absolutely great joy and blessing to photograph their wedding day. I loved meeting everybody as well as seeing some familiar faces! Just on a small note, Anna’s little boy, Anthony, are in many of the photos below–he actually fell asleep during the ceremony! Haha, he is a cute little one. I first met up with the girls in Bothell, WA when they were getting ready, and then we headed to The Courtyard Hall, where ceremony/reception was taking place. I must say, this was my very first snowy wedding! A few days ago before the wedding day, it had snowed up north (not in Seattle), and the snow actually sticked so when I drove up there, it suddenly turned into a winter wonderland. Soooo pretty. We took portraits outside in the snow, and it was so beautiful! I also know it was FREEZING, so thank you, wedding party, for braving the cold!! Everyone was so fun to work and hang out with. I especially enjoyed listening to the toasts and stories; it just always makes my heart smile as I get to know them better. Thank you so much, Anna and Forrest, for sharing your wedding day with me. I had an amazing time meeting all of your family and friends. You both were so great to work with :)
