Four outfit changes, two adventurous lovebirds, and one talented photographer made this Mount Rainier National Park engagement session utterly romantic and incredibly captivating. Molly and Fednold ventured into the endless Washington mountain range where the sun glowed beautifully around them and Robert J Hill Photography captured their intimate embraces. A light breeze and the sunset were the prettiest accessories Molly and Fednold could have asked for during their engagement session and the natural beauty of Mount Rainier National Park definitely provided!
Historic venues that were previously used for another purpose bring more than antique charm; these venues are filled with life and movement that can inspire your big day. While Meredith and Jonathan’s Historic Firehouse No. 2 wedding wasn’t designed to evoke any imagery of firefighters from the past, the couple utilized the space masterfully with vibrant colors and a bit of humor. Aaron and Whitney Photography brilliantly captured the light and dark aspects of the venue, showcasing an extraordinary depth in Meredith and Jonathan’s relationship and their big day.
I wanted it to be elegant and timeless without trying too hard. I didn’t have much of a theme in mind. I just picked things I liked and hoped they all went together in the end. I love wild flowers, lots of color, vintage, and a twist of humor (we had horses and owls everywhere because of a silly Buzzfeed quiz about what your spirit animal is… Mine was horse and his was owl).
The Moments:
There were too many. During photographs of me and Jonathan in the neighborhood near our venue, a house party of strangers played and sang to us “all you need is love”. My sister gave a toast that left not a single dry eye in the place. My mother, sister, and I danced to my mother’s fav song by Trapeze, and we laughed and spilled our drinks all over the dance floor. I danced with my dad to his fav pink Floyd song and he, teary eyed and sentimental, looked at me and said “this is a really long song”. All time favorite: saying “I will love you forever” to the man of my dreams in front of all the people I love the most.
The Couple Recommends:
Aaron and Whitney Durall are the best photographers period. They captured the essence of our perfect day and of who we are. They’re also just amazing people. After our engagement shoot they rescued an abandoned kitten and drove it home with them 1.5 hours away.
There is nothing more intimate and special than a backyard wedding with close friends and family. Brit and Robert’s elegant and casual wedding in Northern California brought together the perfect mix of colorful wildflowers, an easy-going atmosphere, and backyard party fun. Foot Candles Photography expertly documented the wonderful day, making sure to capture sweet moments of the couple at sunset!
The Couple:
Brit and Robert
The Wedding:
Private Residence, California
The Inspiration:
We wanted a wedding with a small intimate feel, held at a private backyard so that our guests might feel at home and comfortable. We didn’t have a specific wedding color for the decor, but instead chose a more varied and colorful wildflower theme, that fit in naturally with our Northern California surroundings. All our decor was meant to be elegant but casual and natural.
The Moments:
Our favorite moment from the wedding was the toasts given by our family and some of our best friends. The speeches made us both laugh and cry, and we remember feeling so loved and grateful for the amazing people in our lives gathered together. Our dance party later on definitely gets second place!
The Couple Recommends:
Props go to our wedding coordinator, Ashley Mauritson, who made sure our day was perfect and didn’t miss a beat. Our photographers, Madelynn and Amari, a husband and wife team, made us feel so comfortable and really went above and beyond in capturing every moment late into the night. And last but not least, our florist, Melissa, added so much magic to our day through her amazing floral designs. We were so lucky to have them all!
