Maggie & Kyle met during their senior year at the University of Washington. Maggie had transferred to the UW the year before and was roommates with a couple of Kyle’s friends. Kyle was instantly attracted to Maggie and she surprised him by buying him a drink the first night they met. After graduation, Maggie headed down to Oregon to attend law school. Free weekends together were spent going out with friends and attending Husky football games. Finally ready to start their lives together, Maggie’s law degree in hand, the two put down roots in Tacoma and prepared to tie the knot.
The day started at the Courtyard in downtown Tacoma where the boys toasted whisky and the girls put on finishing touches. We found an ivy covered wall, wonderfully similar to one we discovered during their engagement session, which was the perfect backdrop for their first look. After bridal party portraits around Tacoma, we headed to the church to make it official. The ceremony was beautiful and was followed by the sweetest bubble send off. Maggie and Kyle treated me to nearly an hour of portrait time with the two of them at the waterfront – a photographer’s dream! Ready to get back to their guests and start the party, we then headed back to the Marriott.
Their wedding date was also Maggie’s parents’ wedding anniversary, so there was not a dry eye in the room when Maggie’s dad presented his wife with roses during his toast, and offered Kyle to do the same for his new bride. There was a run for the longest marriage during the anniversary dance which was ultimately won by a couple celebrating over 60 years of marriage. So much history, love and family was celebrated that night. Maggie and Kyle, your day was a joyous occasion and here’s to many many happy years ahead of you!
