Wendy and David got married on a really lovely August day and even though the clouds were trying to make everyone a little nervous about the weather, the day turned out beautifully!!! The Surf Club is a great venue and it was really fun to be back there again and get to work with some of the same crew there.  Natalia and I truly loved every moment of this special wedding.  Wendy & David are some of the nicest people we have ever met and have so much love and respect for each other and their loved ones, which permeated all around!  And their family and friends are fantastic and were amazingly easy to photograph.  It was a wedding filled with love, warmth, laughter and a few happy tears! 😉

Wendy’s sons walked her down the aisle! 🙂

I loved that David can be goofy even at serious moments 🙂 There is always a smile hiding behind that tough exterior. 

David’s search for the garter was Epic! 🙂

I’ve known Hayley and Slim for awhile now and they even got to be my guinea pigs for a personal project when I was experimenting with dancers and unusual lightening setups 🙂

As a result, I was delighted and honored when they asked me to photograph their wedding. Hayley & Slim met while studying at the Alvin Ailey Dance School in New York and even though the guys continue to live in NYC, Hayley was born and raised in Seattle and Slim hails from Brazil. So, when it came to wedding planning – they decided the only possible solution was to have two festivities – one in Seattle and one in Brazil!

This was a wedding filled with laughter, tears and some pretty awesome dancing :)… Hope you two had an amazing time in Brazil!!!!  Welcome back and enjoy the photos!   Best man – as comfortable holding flowers as he is holding slim 🙂 🙂 First Dance – as done by two professional dancers 🙂 🙂 Absolutely love the photo below !! It was one of those lucky captures where you shoot in a really dark room almost without seeing whats in the frame, and then when you see what you got you go – WOW!! 🙂 We do live in the age of selfies 🙂 🙂
