Sara & Brian's wedding in the beautiful Yakima valley
Sara and Brian found us through the magic of the internet last fall and I am so incredibly grateful that they did! They live in Seattle and we got to meet them a few times throughout the ensuing months, and they were so lovely that we were really excited when it came time to finally photograph their wedding. Sara grew up in Yakima, Washington, most well-known for its abundant fruit growers. Her family-- grandparents, parents, and two aunts and uncles-- share property and she chose to marry there, on the land where she was raised. The spot lent a sense of intimacy to the proceedings and the friends that came from all over to share in the joining of their lives added crazy amounts of revelry. Sara had put an incredible amount of effort into planning and everything, including her blue and orange color scheme throughout, were perfect down to the last detail. And then, all was left was to party and celebrate the lives of two friends who are making a life as one.
Sara wore an absolutely stunning cream-colored lace linen dress by Priscilla of London.
Her grandmother made this linen handkerchief, and then she gave her bridesmaids all vintage kerchiefs.
Their first look was in a pergola behind her childhood home.
We like to call these "un-formals" because we really try and have fun. And their party was fabulous!
The mariachi band started playing during the first kiss and then led the guests over to the cocktail hour.
Sara's grandma made an amazingly tasty cake-- and after they cut it together he had to have some more!
