Tiffani & Jake MARRIED!! Part I [Seattle Wedding Photographer]

May 24, 2010

Can I just say how completely thrilled, jumping up and down (well, not technically - I am 8 months pregnant - Ha!!) EXCITED I am to be finally posting my Seattle wedding from last month???!!!  The last few weeks have been a blur to me with moving ( 8 months prego & 3 small children - I almost lost my mind) and getting a HORRIBLE cold that I had to put work on the back burner for just a teensy bit!!  So, I am finally done with this gorgeous wedding and there were SO many amazing images that I wanted to post that I decided to break it into two posts for two days!!

I have known Tiffani for around 16 years!!  Obviously, she was a little girl when I first met her!!  Her older sister and I have been the bestest of friends since our freshman year in high school!!!  Miles separated us after our freshman year, but not our friendship and I spent many spring breaks and part of my summers out there with her family!!  So, amazingly beautiful!!  Their family is so precious to me from grandparents down to Tiff.  Love them all!!  So, when my bestie called and told me her little sister got engaged and wanted me to shoot their wedding I was a little bit EXCITED and so honored!!!  Jason and I both knew this would be so fun to do together…a sweet little get away for us too!!  Since we knew about the wedding almost a year in advance…we even waited to get prego with baby #4 so that we knew we could make the trip!!  Haha!!

Well, Tiffani found her a great man!!  Jake is such a gentle spirit and they are just a wonderful fit together!!  They both love the Lord and each other which is obvious in both their lives!!  Jason and I were so happy to be part of their beautiful day!!  It was true Northwest weather I must say…raining, sunny, raining, sunny, cloudy, sunny…and so on went the day, but it was perfect and we were able to be outside for some gorgeous scenery (sometimes with umbrellas)!!  So, here is part I of their beautiful day!!
