I’d been looking forward to Elly & JJ’s Dairyland wedding all year. Elly and I instantly clicked when we first met, bonding over everything from our love of the Pacific Northwest to our dogs to being the youngest of 3 sisters. Their Seattle ferry engagement session was a total dream & Dairyland is one of my most favorite venues – and let me tell you, their celebration did not disappoint! We’ve had some crazy smoky days this summer in Seattle due to the unfortunate wildfires, but the haze gave a pink glow over their entire day which was stunning. Elly & JJ met their first year of college so I loved all of their nods to their alma mater, WSU. From vibrant red dahlias they picked up at the market to their sorority & fraternity pins on Elly’s bouquet ribbons, each and every detail was tailored to them and their relationship together. Two days after their wedding day Elly & JJ celebrated 7 years together as a couple! Their ceremony chalk sign was the perfect summary of their day: “Order of Events: Music Starts, We Get Married, Everyone Parties.” All of Elly & JJ’s guests had a total blast and I witnessed some seriously impressive moves on the dance floor. Elly & JJ rode off in a bright yellow pick up truck to start their lives as Mr. & Mrs. Shortly after posting some sneak peeks to my Instagram story the night of their wedding, Elly messaged me saying “Jj and I agree, best decision about our wedding was having you be our photographer!!” – Elly & JJ, I can’t thank YOU enough for having me and welcoming me into your love story – I can’t wait to see what adventures you two enjoy together! xoxo
