Yesterday was the wedding of Emily and Damian, held at Monte Villa Farmhouse in Bothell. Although it rained all morning, just in time for the ceremony the sun came out and the sky was blue. A beautiful day!
Emily wore a gorgeous, classic dress, and with her blonde ringlets I thought she looked like a 40’s-era movie star.
Four-year-old Marilyn was the flower girl and took her job very seriously. She was very excited to be taking part in a wedding and wearing such a fancy dress, as all little flower girls are! I thought she was the epitome of cuteness.
Emily’s uncle traveled all the way from the midwest to officiate at the ceremony. He gave a very inspiring and animated service!
I got tons of pictures of these cute little looks Emily and Damian kept giving each other. They are so adorable together. You can tell they have a very strong friendship.
Loved this cake from Hillcrest Bakery. It was gorgeous and extremely delicious. And do you love this color scheme, or what? Chocolate brown with dark teal. So classy. Love it.
AWESOME flowers, too. I loved the bride’s bouquet of ivory roses and stephanotis blooms. Yet more to remind me of the simple elegance of the first half of the 20th century. I kept expecting Audrey Hepburn to walk around the corner. I have the florist’s business card in my car, and as soon as I have a chance I’m going to put a link to her web site here as well as on my web site. She was awesome.
Guess who else was attending the wedding? The future Little Harpel! Awwww…
Emily and Damian, congratulations and thanks for choosing me as your photographer! I look forward to seeing what the future brings you.
