Bill + Mary ♥ the wedding

Bill and Mary have been a couple all through High School, and all the way through college and now they’re HITCHED!! :D You’d be hard pressed to find two people more relaxed together and in love. A wonderful thing. :)

Their wedding was tons of fun, I’ve never been to the Hidden Creek Community Church in West Olympia before - it’s a surprisingly beautiful sanctuary for a small community church. We did a fair amount of driving around, from the salon to the hotel, to the church and then to the fairgrounds for an amazing party. The food was provided by the Falls Terrace Restaurant in Tumwater - Both the groom’s mom Terri and Mary (the bride) work at the restaurant, so the whole staff was there - including the head chef to make sure everything was perfect! The MC/DJ was from Mr Lobo in Olympia, I wish I could remember the DJ’s name, I’ve worked with him a couple times and he’s a great guy!

Now what you’ve been waiting for - the pictures - :)

I love this reflection of me: :)

The lighting in the church sanctuary is beautiful:

I think this portrait of Mary is especially striking since it’s almost impossible to catch her without a big smile on her face:

The whole wedding party - a fun group!

Mary’s grandfather Ted walked her down the isle. He’s a wonderful man - I really enjoyed talking to him. :)

These champagne glasses cracked me up - they’re from their Tumwater High School Prom, year 2000 - since when do Prom’s have Champagne???? ;-)

    Bill, you did a great job at the wedding. Your photography is wonderful, and you worked well with the wedding party, family, and guests, and made sure to cover all the little extra shots we asked for. You have a great talent and remarkable patience with people. Your communication has been prompt and thorough, and the quality of what we received has been consistently excellent. If anyone is wondering which photographer to use for a special event, I would recommend you without hesitation. Thanks for helping to make this special day in the life of my daughter and son-in-law even more special.

    Mother of the bride
