Glen Acres Wedding | Laura + Jeff

May 12, 2012 by Cheryl | Leave a comment

Laura and Jeff’s wedding started at Glen Acres Golf and Country Club with a beautiful sunny day, blue skies, and pink cherry blossoms. Laura’s white dress and white details looked beautiful photographed on the white wall and window. Her mom helped her get ready which made for some beautiful moments. Jeff waited for Laura at the bottom of the grand stair case to see her for the first time. It was an extra special moment because it was also when he told her where they were going to go for their honeymoon — he planned the entire thing without her knowing! We then went outside and rode around the gold course in carts getting photos of the two of them and their wedding party and family.

The ceremony took place at their Church only a mile or so away and they signed their marriage certificate on the alter afterwards. Then it was back to Glen Acres for the reception which was packed with all of their friends and family. They enjoyed many surpise musical numbers, toasts, and gifts. The first dance looked amazing under the night sky. Towards the end of the evening, they taugh square dancing to the entire group!

Seattle Aquarium Wedding

I enjoyed meeting these two at the Seattle Wedding Show, so I was very excited when they contacted me a couple of weeks later about photographing their wedding. They executed a gorgeous wedding in just a few months at the Seattle Aquarium in downtown. I can’t think of a more unique and beautiful place to hold a wedding! We started their photos before the ceremony and walked around inside and outside the Aquarium. There ceremony and reception too place right in front of the big tank full of bright colored fish. The guests moved into the wade pools for the cocktails where they got to touch starfish, observe a large red octopus, and witness the feeding of the otters and their pup. The big tank was the brightest light source during the dinner. Everything was so colorful and vibrant. The toasts were wonderful and everyone was on the dance floor. It was so much fun to capture, thank you guys!

Imagine The Look On His Face!

It’s your wedding day, and your groom opens a gift of beautiful, intimate photos of his bride. He’ll never expect it and he’ll be left speachless.

Boudoir photography is sexy and sensual, glamorous and styled, flirty and fun. It takes place in a bedroom setting or on sofa and resembles images found in magazines and from old hollywood movie stars.

Our 1200 square foot 2-level studio is the largest studio in Seattle dedicated entirely to boudoir portraits. We only work with “real women” (not models) so you’re in good company here! Cheryl (your photographer) will help style and guide you through poses easily and comfortably. We use expert makeup, posing, lighting, and retouching techniques. Women of all ages, shapes, and sizes are invited to our studio.

It’s an opportunity to see how beautiful you are through a fun, empowering and pampering experience. And what better time to capture your body than right before your wedding? We can even incorporate your wedding veil, shoes and jewelry into some of the photos.
