I’m feeling so emotional looking through these photos, reliving the day.  It was such . a  . good . day!  My sister was absolutely beautiful.  I know I’m slightly biased but I think you’ll agree looking at these – stunner!  I can’t wait to show you!

First, her dress was just perfect!

Getting ready –

Here’s the first look.  I love these series of photos –

The next photo is my favorite!

That it was sunny on February 4th was nothing short of a miracle.  I was so happy to get a sun flare shot!

I’m telling you – Tacoma is such a great spot for shooting! We found this warehouse area (my favorite!), my kids witnessed a drug deal but hey! It was a great place to take photos!  haha…I’m kidding about the drugs.  Don’t freak out Mom!

Another note for Mom:  Muggs is standing on a sheet so we didn’t get her dress dirty just like you asked!  🙂

I found it quite challenging to shoot and be in the wedding (that’s me straightening her train).  Thankfully we had multiple photographers there!  More on that in a minute…  but I handed my camera to my brother during the ceremony who got some great shots.  I love this next one at the ceremony –

Here’s a shot of Muggs and Joe leaving the church with bird seed flying!

What a PARTY!

I mentioned above that I had some photography help.  My sister-in-law Nina’s sister and brother-in-law (follow?) are also photographers (aaron@warderphoto.com) who graciously offered to shoot the wedding party shots as well as the family shots.  They ended up shooting way more than they bargained for!  Also, Margaret’s friend Molly offered to come help with the getting ready and the first look shots.  I was so thankful for them all!  I hope to show you some of their photos as well soon!

I have to give a shout out also to Justin the AMAZING florist.  I cannot tell you how absolutely beautiful everything he touched was from the boutonnieres to the bouquets to the stunning center pieces at the reception…I could go on and on. They were all perfect!  Thank you Justin!

Sigh.  Can we do it again?!  Just kidding Mom!  😉
