Urban Elegance

For this chic affair, Ali Harvey and I found ourselves back in Seattle, first at the Fairmont Olympic Hotel and then off to one of my new favorite sites, the Georgetown Studios for the ceremony and reception.

I fell in love with this couple and their story the second that I met them.  They actually grew up in the Tri-Cities city near each other. They even attended the same elementary school.  The funny thing is, they never met.  And then, after college, they both chose to move to New York.  It was there, in the biggest city in the country, at a party of a friend, of a friend, of a work associate, etc that they finally met….crazy, right?  It took years and hundreds of miles for them to connect, retrace the steps of their past, fall in love, and end up in Seattle to say “I do” on this beautiful evening (and I got to be a part of it–whoo hoo!).

As we arrived, they were both so excited and extremely nervous–not about the wedding as much as about having their photos taken and being the center of attention.  I seriously couldn’t understand their utter fear of the camera.  Just look at them.  A gorgeous couple in love.  How could they possibly ever take a bad photo?  Well, after some canoodling and a few deep breaths, they relaxed a bit and allowed me to work my magic.  I am so happy with the outcome.  Thank you for allowing Ali and I to be a part of your urban-chic affair.  Enjoy the sneak peek!
