Always the wedding photographer, never the bridesmaid? That had been the case for me until my beautiful sister-in-law asked me to be the maid of honor (matron?!) in her July 2015 wedding. I am so, so excited!! Last month they flew up to Seattle from Los Angeles for their engagement session, but no fear, I am happy to report that I will NOT be photographing their wedding! They have hired my friend, the talented Anita Martin Photography, for their big day so that I can do my matron of honor duties and be truly present for their wedding. We had typical Seattle weather for their session. In fact, it was raining so hard that we had a hard time being outdoors at all. Even with an umbrella the rain was blowing sideways and soaking all of us to the bone. Luckily we found some great covered areas down by Pike Place Market. Pasquale felt like he needed an adult beverage to loosen up so we stopped by a pub and happened to find a light filled little booth that overlooked the market sign! I love when that happens :) The next day the weather cleared up a bit so we ventured to the lighthouse at Discovery Park which is right down the street from my house. I am so glad we went out that 2nd day!

I had a great time with these two, as always, and am already counting the days until I get to put on a bridesmaid dress and stand next to Shelby as she marries the man of her dreams.
