Meg and Drew | Hotel Bellwether Wedding

Winter weddings in Bellingham can be tricky.  You never know if it's going to be rainy, freezing, or sunny the day of the wedding, so in planning you have to be pretty flexible and have a number of backup plans.  Fortunately for us, Meg and Drew's wedding day was absolutely beautiful and we were able to shoot anywhere we wanted.

These two were so much fun to shoot.  They were very spontaneous (see T-Rex, Crabs, and Zombies below) and genuine people.  It was our pleasure to get to be a part of their wedding.  Hope you love these, guys!Bride's Dress in Window Bride's Wedding Gown in Sun Bride Getting Ready at Hotel Bellwether Girl Looking at Camera Bride and Groom on Lighthouse at Hotel Bellwether Baby Boy Looking at Camera Bride and Groom with Lamppost Bride and Groom Walking on Path Bride in Fur with Flowers and Groom Bride and Groom at Hotel Bellwether Sometimes, I'll just tell a couple to "walk over there." Apparently, "walk over there" means something different to everyone.

Vanessa | The wedding was inspired by France because Lee and I met while studying abroad in Paris. We had a fun time trying to incorporate French elements in all aspects of the wedding. The invitations were inspired by art nouveau, popular during La Belle Epoque in Paris.
