Before the Thanksgiving festivities begin, I wanted to share a few of my favorite shots from Katya and Andy’s gorgeous wedding at Shilshole Bay Beach Club. I met Katya in my photography program at the University of Washington, and so I was honored when she asked me to be their wedding photographer. We started out the day at her parent’s house with Katya and her girls getting ready. Then we headed to the University of Washington, which is where Katya and Andy met. Although it had been raining on and off throughout the day, it stopped just as we got onto campus and the sun started peeking out from behind the clouds. We took advantage of the manicured grounds and impressive architecture and right as we got in our cars to head to the beach club, it started raining…the rain gods must have heard my prayers that day! Their ceremony and reception was a joyous, intimate affair with lots of heartfelt speeches, lively music and good food and wine—a celebration indeed.

Katya and Andy, thank you both for inviting me to capture your wedding day. Can’t wait to see what the future holds for you both! Next up…baby photos, right?!
