This bohemian Winter wedding was one of my all time faves. Ben and Alicia’s love is lighthearted, fun, and steadfast and it was an absolute pleasure to play for their wedding ceremony! It was a cold November day and I was so thankful to find a random pair of gloves in my wait for it…glove compartment. With fingers toasty warm, I sat down to play the prelude music.

One word comes to mind when I picture Jenny + Ian’s intimate Washington wedding: glamptastic. I was so honored when they asked Jordan and I to travel all the way to Washington to celebrate with them! They chose Cama Beach State Park as their venue and weekend getaway destination. Cama Beach is on the southwest shore of Camano Island facing Saratoga Passage in north Puget Sound. It’s a 1930s-era Puget Sound fishing resort complete with waterfront cedar cabins and bungalows that feel like you’ve just stepped backwards in time. Or onto the set of Moonrise Kingdom. Either way, it was a weekend I’ll never forget.

Now, let me just say – I absolutely adore micro weddings. There is something so intimate and magical about experiencing your most special day with your most special people. Emma Cate & Matt got married on a beautiful March day surrounded by about 20 of their closest friends and family. There was nothing but love and warmth emanating throughout the day and every person there felt like they were in on a secret. This wedding seriously felt like a French countryside scene from a renaissance painting. From the intricate table settings, scenic field views, and romantic candelabras, to Emma Cate’s leaf motif veil that matched her lacy dress, it was just a dream.
