I’ve known Griffan for over 10 years.  We have seen each other through a lot of good times and not so good times.  I couldn’t have been more happy for her when she met Rich.  They compliment each other perfectly!

I was lucky enough to catch their proposal, and was so honored that she asked me to capture their special day.  What do you get when you take pictures of one of your best friends’ Catholic wedding?  The world’s longest blog post!  So, sit back and get comfy~ha ha. 🙂

They got ready at the Watertown Hotel…

Griffan gave Rich these cufflinks.  They are a map of London (this is where Rich was traveling when he gave Griffan the first indication that he “liked” her)~how cool!

Rich’s gift to Griffan.  These two document and save everything.  It truly is amazing, and I wish I was so good!We decided to do the first look down at Lake Union.  It holds special meaning to them, since that is where Griffan worked when they met both working at Seattle Mortgage 🙂This picture cracks me up.  It had been nice and calm all day.  Then, right after their first look, the winds were blowing.  We couldn’t get any pictures with Griffan’s veil blowing out of control, but this just captures their personalities perfectly 🙂Griffan, you are STUNNING!!!!!Kristal, at Sublime Stems did an amazing job with the flowers!!I love this moment.  I have no idea what Rich was whispering to Griffan, but it’s perfect.How perfect that they got married the day before Mother’s Day!  Beautiful Momma and daughter…

They had the reception at the Tyee Yacht Club down on Lake Union.  Rasa and Erika from PlanningSavvy.com did an amazing job setting the room up and facilitating the entire night!

We stole a few minutes as the sun was going down to grab a few more pictures…The speeches were amazing…Levi stole the dance floor!Although, Anya was right on his heels 🙂Fun Scotch and cigar table…LOVE these last two 🙂Griffan and Rich~I love you both, and am SO honored that I got to be part of your special day.  xoxo!  And, keeping the tradition alive…
