Katie and Jon on Gravelly Lake

I'm starting to be a very firm believer that our clients have some of the most gorgeous kids in the world. Case in point: Katie and Jon, and their sweet little boy, Caidyn.

(See what I mean?)

Katie and Jon celebrated their marriage with a ceremony and reception at Katie's parents' beautiful home and property on the edge of Gravelly Lake. The ceremony was in the backyard with the lake in the background, and they lucked out with blue skies and very bright sunshine — even if it did mean a lot of squinting for poor Katie, who had the sun in her eyes throughout their vows. This being Washington, the great weather was quickly replaced with a rain shower just ten minutes after the ceremony ended and everyone was tucked away inside for the reception. If it's going to rain on your wedding day, you really can't ask for better timing!

Of course, since this was a July 4th wedding, one of the highlights of the day was the chance to see fireworks over the lake. One of the neighbors has a pyrotechnics license and puts on a pretty hefty fireworks show! After all the reception events were complete, the guests and happy couple finished off the night by sitting in the garden and watching a lengthy display — we were impressed. And by getting married on the holiday, Katie and Jon will now be spoiled with a day-off from work and the chance to see fireworks on every single wedding anniversary! Good thinking on their part!
