Annie & Joel’s Bellingham Wedding
Annie and Joel’s August wedding couldn’t have been on a more gorgeous day. Bellingham with it’s ocean vistas and majestic forests was the perfect back drop for this classic, timeless wedding. Both Annie and Joel’s family really made the day extra special. The ceremony was held in the back yard of Joel’s childhood home which happens to be just down the street from his Grandparents home where the ladies spent their morning getting ready. I always enjoy getting to know families on such an important day. I find myself laughing and crying along with them! The bridal party was a ton of fun and up for anything…like hiking to a waterfall….ok maybe more of a walk, but we ventured off the beaten path…that’s hiking right;) The reception was at the beautiful Bellingham Golf and Country Club and Annie and Joel had a beautiful sparkler send off for their wonderful mini moon to Canada. Thank you Annie and Joel for allowing me to share in your big day, it was a blast!! Cheers!
