Brian & Liz Bellevue the Club Wedding

August 14, 2018 • Leave a Comment

We started our day with the sun shinning in our windows as we drove up I-5 to the Lake Washington area near Seattle. The family's cats greeted us when we arrived and kept a curious eye on things as I set up the detail shots. I enjoyed these details so much! Blue is my favorite color and I loved that Liz included baby blue hydrangeas in her bouquet and in the boutonniers and corsages. In the meantime, Bryan (my Bryan. We tried calling him Cowboy instead because of his cowboy hat and obviously because two Bryans is too many!) helped himself to a fresh doughnut and went upstairs to get some groom shots. Liz got dressed in a calm and simple fashion with her mom and very soon to be mother in law to help her into her beautiful Oleg Cassini gown.

Brian and Liz shared an emotional first look under the towering trees of Lake Wilderness park in Maple Valley, they dried their happy tears and laughed and hugged. Now together, they were ready to take on their day!

Brian and Liz exchanged vows at their local Kingdom Hall in Kent Washington, in front of their sweet family and friends.

They made their grand entrance as Husband and Wife in the ballroom of the Bellevue Club Hotel in Bellevue Wa.

I can't go on without saying: The award for best behaved guests goes to Brian and Liz's friends and family! Every one of them were seated at their tables, which made a perfect opportunity for us to capture a reception venue portrait of Brian and Liz with their guests in the background! This isn't a shot we usually try to take or create, but under these circumstances, it was totally handed to us!

I am always nervous about sunset portraits at a location I've never been to, and in the city because I'm never sure what to expect (Bellevue is almost a three hour drive from us). But the entrance of the Bellevue Club Hotel offered beautiful grounds and we were able to get that sunset glow filtering down on them as they held hands, husband and wife!

Brian and Liz, It was a perfect day!
