Kelsey & Nick are rock stars. You may remember them from our promo video & from their flippin' awesome engagement session. These two are so much fun and their wedding was a complete testament of that. Kelsey & Nick got married at Seattle Design Center  & they were our last wedding of 2008. I couldn't think of a better way to end the year. It was a high point. 

Nick's parents got Kelsey & Nick the Presidential Suite at Hotel Deca & it was by far the biggest hotel room I have ever been in. It had this incredible wrap around deck that overlooked all of Seattle. So we thought, "this will be great! We will do the Reveal/First Look out on the deck. Little did we know how stinkin' windy it would be and as Kels and Nick were giving their first hug, her veil blew out of her hair and almost fell to its death about 30 stories below us... Then I saw my super-hero husband reach out over the railing valiantly risking his life (haha) and grabbed  it just in the nick of time. Chris saved the day ;) You'll see a couple of photos of Kelsey & Nick's expressions right after it happened. They are some of my favorite frames in the set. 

Kelsey & Nick, we adore you two, thank you for your friendship and for giving us the honor of being the storytellers at your big day. You two are amazing.

WOW! I love your style, what lens do you use for the closeups, I want to get into weddings a little bit more, but want to be different, but I have been afraid to. Seeing your style really makes me want to. YOUR AWESOME!
