When you meet Austin and Jessica, you could think for a moment that they are quiet, subdued, shy even.  The truth is, they are fun and outgoing and love to laugh but that aura you perceive as quiet is simple and honest contentedness.  They love each other enough that shouting it from the roof tops isn't past either of their characters' but it is best exemplified in the fact when they are near each other, all is right in the world.

Austin looks at Jessica like he found a crystal ball enabling him to look directly into his future and he loves what he's seeing.  Jessica looks back and finds everything she ever wanted and more than she thought was imaginable.  On Saturday, surrounded by friends and family and sunshine they proclaimed what anyone who had met them already knew, that this was happily ever after.



 Jessica's dress perfect for her and I just about squealed when I saw her sparkly Steve Maddens!























 Jessica's eye's are so remarkable, when the light started to soften we went out for a few more photos, this first one is maybe my favorite from the day.

Through the summer months in the Pacific Northwest, residents and visitors alike have been asking where summer has gone, this is where it was.  All of the beauty of a Washington summer converged on this day for exactly this love.  Shining sun and a clear blue sky from sun-up to sun-down made for a perfect August day anywhere, but here is where love was, here is what the sun shone for that day.

Rachel and Sam are two people that are terrific when you meet them separately.  When you see them together you know that they are simply marvelous.  The smiles they exchange minute by minutes make you feel like you're looking in on a story that is only beginning, but it's a good one.

















Sam opened the door for his new bride and the moment it closed he got a different kind of send off.

 Congratulations friends, we are excited for your story!
