Heidi and Chuck in Olympia

It's time to blog about the wedding of Heidi and Chuck ... where do I begin? Their wedding was so much fun! We started at the Grand Holiday Ballroom in Olympia, the location of their ceremony and reception. After a short session of getting-ready shots — Heidi gets the prize for getting ready in record time! — we piled into their limo and headed to downtown Olympia for portraits of just the two of them.


Most couples are on a very tight schedule on their wedding day, so it's a rare treat when we have a couple of hours for bride and groom portraits. Trekking around Heritage Park, downtown Olympia, and the Japanese Garden was more than worth it, and we got some absolutely luscious portraits! (A huge thanks to the rainclouds for staying out of sight long enough to let us play).

We've made a vow to pack our blog with more photos than ever (after all, isn't that what you're here for?) and Heidi and Chuck are the lucky first recipients! So here are a big handful of favorites from their day:

Not a lot needs to be said about that photo. What more can you add to the adoring look of a mom as she walks her daughter down the aisle?

The gorgeous main room at Grand Holiday Ballroom has a deep golden glow to it that makes for a warm, intimate setting despite its size.

One of the joys of photographing with a partner is getting back to the studio and discovering all the shots he/she took while you weren't looking! Scott took this one and it grabbed me the first time I saw it. I love the unique angle, and while I'm usually all for candids where the subject is "camera unaware," the fact that Chuck caught Scott at the last second absolutely makes this shot a winner for me. Very cool!

Now with that innocent look on his face, you know Chuck's not planning anything messy, right?! Oh, wait ...

Ah, sweet, sweet revenge!

Heidi and Chuck, congratulations on fifteen fabulous years together! We're glad you finally tied the knot and were honored that you asked us to be there with you. There are so many more great shots to come and we can't wait to share them with you soon!

Great selection of images. Brides that get ready fast.. rock! I've always thought that the wall with the wave would make a great background when I drive by, I love that you used it!
