| A personal and more intimate day for this Southern Belle and dapper gentleman, who traveled all the way from Texas to Brinnon, WA on the Hood Canal to share with close family, their love for one another. When John and I first met these two, it was Winter, there was still snow on the ground. A 180 from what they were used to, being from Texas and all. The freezing rain, snow and slush wasn't enough to stop them from having a great time with their engagement photo's. We had a great time with them as well and are so grateful to have had that chance to get to know them better. A mid-week ceremony at his Grandparents beautiful property on the Hood Canal was the setting for a perfect day. The weather was beautiful and the mood was relaxed. A total of just over 30 guests gathered to witness Candice & Chase's vows and celebrate a very apparent love between the two. It was a wonderful day and these two surely deserved it! I only wish that I (Jenna) could have been there to witness it myself. I was here at home taking care of my 6 week old little girl and I just couldn't leave her for the entire day, with it being more of a destination wedding. Fortunately our dear friend and fellow photographer, Steve Smith was able to attend and shoot with John. Thanks Steve so much for all of your help! Candice & Chase, I truly enjoyed getting to know you both. I wish I could have been there with you on your big day, but I know you were in very good hands with John & Steve. Congratulations and we wish you all of the best! Let us know the next time you're in Washington, we'd love to see you!

| Okay, I have to warn you that I may be a little biased when it comes to this bride, she's my cousin. :) I have to say what a privilege it was to be a part of her special day. Really, I was in the bridal party & John of course was the photographer. We share not just a typical cousin relationship but also a great friendship. She is someone I've admired for so many years. Although she's a few years younger than me, I've always looked up to her for the strength she has in her faith, her hope and the sweet, tender, giving heart she was blessed with. Alicia, is an amazing women and her new husband Jon is one lucky man! Now, that I've said all that about my sweet Alicia, I don't want you to think that he's the only lucky one in this equation. Alicia met Jon, over a year and a half ago and from the start, he's proved how much he loves, respects and adores my wonderful cousin. He is exactly what she deserves. I am so proud of my beautiful cousin for all that she's accomplished and for picking such a wonderful man to spend the rest of her life with. I am also so grateful to have gained such a wonderful guy as part of my family.         Okay... on to the details of the wedding! :) Alicia & Jon were married at their home church, Rose Hill Presbyterian in Kirkland over Memorial Weekend. Pastor Brandon and his wife Jenean have been a close part of Alicia's life for many years, starting back in Alicia's school days as her youth pastor. It was a great honor that he was able to perform their ceremony.      After the ceremony we were off to Golden Gardens Bathhouse in Seattle for their reception. You may recall the amazing weather we had Memorial Weekend, so it wasn't much of a surprise just how busy this beautiful Seattle park was. Parking was a nightmare for guests but once everyone arrived and settled in, the rest of the afternoon and evening went off with out a hitch.     It was a wonderful day and I am just so happy for my cousin and her new husband. Whom, by the way are currently enjoying their 3 week honeymoon that includes a cruise to Alaska & a week up in Canada at Whistler. Jon & Alicia, we are just thrilled for the both of you and can't wait to hear all about how amazing your honeymoon was! UPDATE: Wow, where did the time go! It's taken me a little while to get back up and going again since Ellie arrived... Jon and Alicia stopped by the visit the other day, the smiles on their faces are as bright as ever!
