Wow, what a wedding day for Kristen and Jeremy. Here’s a little sneak peak at some of the pictures, and a little story.
Kristen & Jeremy, Kirkland WA: There was wind, rain, thunder, lightening, and even a rainbow! Mother Nature took what could have been a Typical Northwest Fall Day (otherwise dull and overcast) and added a little excitement to Kristen & Jeremy’s Special Day.
Saturday’s forecast called for rain, heavy in the morning and light showers in the afternoon. It had been raining nearly non-stop on Friday. The plan was to do most of the pictures before the ceremony to take advantage of the natural light out…outside. Bracing myself for the worst case scenario (visions of non-stop rain and umbrella shots, then moving indoors), I brought several towels for my gear and my couple.
Kristen’s wedding day preparation took place at the Hyatt in Bellevue, then we were to head over to Kirkland Marina Park.
We all just LOVED Kristen’s dress!
As luck would have it, the showers stopped right before we started our pictures, and the sun came out for the first time that day. It lasted as long as we needed it and then the next round was on it’s way (you can see the heavy rain clouds heading right at us, along with some serious wind).
Notice the choppiness of the water….
The sky really opened up, minutes before the ceremony!
And then it was over.
The lighting was FABULOUS under the pergola.
A very happy couple with the “personal sized” Pierre Jouettes.
I love Fall Weddings. I can really appreciate them up here in Washington State.
A little ride up to Carillon Point for some more pictures…
A runner dashes past the front doors to the Wilde Rover Irish Pub, the reception location. The festivities continued at the Pub, well into the night.
Thank you Kristen and Jeremy for having me be a part in your Big Day! Enjoy your time off and good wishes for your future together. And I want to thank Amy & Nate for trusting me enough to refer me to her childhood friend 🙂
