Will and Brittany

Ferndale, Washington

A wedding under the trees in the Pacific North West.
Brittany and Will, upon meeting these two I knew our time together was kismet. All of us were from different parts of the country, Washington State, Georgia, and New Jersey. We all happened to be in Chicago at the same time in order to meet up and talk about photography and working together for their wedding. When we met up these world travelers had me at “our wedding will be in Washington State”. From the engagement session shot out on Ruby Beach to the wedding under the giant Red Woods of Ferndale, every step of the way was epic with them. Over their engagement we talked so much back and forth about details and priorities. They wanted everything about their wedding to have meaning. The location was decided based on Will’s home state. It’s where he grew up and his parents are there. They wanted them involved in all the makings. Will’s dad made the favors, his mom grew the flowers that decorated the tables, his aunts and uncle catered the event, and Brittany’s mom made the flower crowns. Nothing was generic about this wedding and everything was sweet and fitting to them as a couple. Brittany wore a pale blue tulle dress, that floated on the wind. It matched the blue of the water. Her bouquet was bigger than her. It was beautiful and wild, which was perfectly suitable for her personality. Side note ( Brittany traveled to India alone on a wim after college) Why not! A girl after my own heart. The energy between them as a couple, is something you wish for in all of your couples. They love each other immensely and support each other in every decision they make. They embrace who they are as people and don’t try to alter that, it’s pretty magical. Will surprised Brittany with a bagpipe performance and hiking boots. Brittany danced around Will, fluttering through the trees in the sunlight like a dream. They treated us like family, and never lost sight of the fun in getting married. They ended their night with a golden cake, and baked goods to die for, followed by a confetti exit and smoking cigars. The lighting was incredible. The venue was perfectly green and rich with life. We got some killer photos for these guys to love for a lifetime. I even had the opportunity to photograph these two on their honey moon in the South of France! Our time together was well spent. They are true friends and all around great people. I am happy to share their love and beautiful wedding.
