Laura & Nolan | February 19th, 2011

Wow!  Laura and Nolan‘s wedding was my first for the year of 2011, and it was one of the most beautiful events I have ever been to!  The ceremony and reception took place at the Landmark Event Center in Des Moines, WA.  We were afraid of rain this weekend, but the sun can through making the day clear, but super windy and cold–so unfortunately we didn’t take outdoor portraits.  But the venue had this really great “living room” where only the bride and groom were allowed inside to take some portraits–the window lighting inside that room was really nice.  Laura looked absolutely STUNNING in her beautiful dress and her sister, Emily, was talented enough to do her hair for her!  Laura’s mom also made sooo many precious little details that everyone just loved (photos below!).  The ceremony was beautiful with the reception following shortly after at the room below–I also got to see many familiar faces as well which was fun!  I must warn you…once again, there’s a pretty huge amount of photos below….lots of mash ups this time.  Many great moments that I had already tried narrowing down!  Laura and Nolan, thank you both so much for sharing your wedding day with me, I had an amazing time working with ya’ll and meeting all of your family and friends.  And thank you, Rachelle, for being my assistant (it was her very first wedding with me!), you did such a great job and thank you for giving up your Saturday to help me out  :)  Enjoy!
