It was as if the dark rainy clouds parted just for Johanna and Chad this past Saturday. Warm-golden, crisp, delicious light broke through the rain for some of the most radiant light I have ever had the honor of working in. It was like a dream. Fall weddings are always special to me. It is my personal favorite season and this is a wedding that did the fall season justice! Johanna & Chad's celebration was like a fall festival! With reds, golds, oranges, browns... smores, the smell of a burning fire, smiles, candle light, apple cider, coffee beans & warm cozy lighting that seemed to hug everyone in the room. It was a perfect day that reflected them and their adventurous, outdoor-loving spirits.
The wedding took place at the Rainier Club downtown Seattle. It might be one of our new favorite venues in Seattle. It is rustic, elegant with a touch of "eeriness" that is endearing and quite intriguing. Michelle Engvall Coordinated this lovely event and it is always a joy to work with such a great coordinator. I cannot stress to my couples enough how important the roll of a coordinator is into achieving the overall vision for the day and making things move flawlessly throughout. The flowers were absolutely breathtaking. My favorite bouquet of the season goes to miss Johanna's bouquet. Her wonderful florist, Julie Borrud of Bella Rugosa did an excellent job with all of the florals at the event.
What an amazing day this was to be a part of! Johanna and Chad we are so very happy for you. Thank you for allowing us to be there with you and giving us complete and total trust :) A few of these are some of my all time favorite captures.
