On Saturday we were once again blessed with sunshine and a little warmth … or at least, not so much cold that we were forced to stay indoors! I started my day with Chris and his groomsmen who were getting quite the star treatment at fabulous Capelli’s barbershop downtown. The girls there are a hoot, and what with donuts, coffee and straight blade razors to keep them occupied it was the perfect start to their day. The lighting in there kept me on my toes, that’s for sure!
Next stop: the Sorrento Hotel, where Megan had previously hand-picked her gorgeously bright and spacious suite – bliss for me! I arrived just as Erin Skipley was finishing off Megan’s makeup (beautiful work as always, Erin) and soon after the suite filled with bridesmaids, ring-bearers and moms. I love it when there’s a hive of activity – it makes for great emotions.
Running a little late, we went straight from the first look into some family formals … then it was off to my new favorite photo spot at Seattle U for an hour of bridal party photos. Super fun! I love, love, love the parasols from Bella Umbrella, and I had a ton of fun with the reflection pool. Just before we lost all our light, I joined Megan and Chris on a mini tour of Seattle hot spots for their couples photos, then on we went to one of my all-time favorite venues, Lake Union Cafe for the ceremony (short but sweet) and reception (craziness!) Have a fab time in Mexico, Mr and Mrs Schneider, and enjoy your teaser pics and slideshow!

Thanks lady! I LOVE those parasols. They should be required wardrobe for every wedding 😉

Very nice Kate! Of course I’m partial to your opening image. You have some great moments here!
I love the picture with the blue darkness and the couple kissing in front of the city…..breath taking! You are fabulous!

Some great PJ moments here missy! I love the one of the girls walking towards the ceremony and the reflection of the feet! I especially love the umbrella silhouette! NICE!
GORGEOUS! I love the action in the dancing photos. So much movement and atmosphere. Great technique. And those are some of the best bridal party shots I’ve seen. Great job Kate!
Wow, Kate! These pictures are *stunning* – I love the one by the reflection pool, and the way you photographed the wedding venu (Lake Union Cafe???) looks so beautiful! You are truly an artist, these photos have so much style and elegance:)
Thank you all so much 🙂
Beautiful work, Kate! Of course the opening photo is a stunner, but I’m also really loving the one of the bride putting the pin on her bow– and of course all the ladies with those Bella Umbrellas! The photo of the bride dancing with her dad really gives a sense of how warm and inviting LUC must have felt. Fantastic composition!
KATE! These images are GORGEOUS!! Oh! I wish this were my wedding!!!! You are such a rockstar!
Kate-These are GORGEOUS!!!! What a beautiful bride & wedding.
