sonya + jonathan | married at heyday farm on bainbridge island

One of my favourite parts of this career is being able to witness bits and pieces of a diverse range of cultures and religions. While this is not the first traditional Jewish wedding I have photographed, it was by far the most colorful and filled with life. From the mothers breaking a plate before the ceremony to the traditional horah after, the day was filled memorable moments.

A beautiful tradition that stood out to me was whispered blessings over the couple. Some of my favourite photos to date. Cheers, S + J, and here's to a long life filled with love!

This was one of my all time favourite weddings to date. Joy + Sean were such an honor to photograph. Their lovely families took me in as one of their own, making it so much easier to capture intimate, tender moments. Witnessing the love these two have not only for each other, but for those surrounding them was truly inspiring.

How lovely it was to photograph Sonya + Jonathan's intimate "elopement" at heyday farm on Bainbridge Island last week. They and 50 of their closest friends and family (that still counts as intimate, right?) gathered on a gorgeous July day to celebrate the beginning of their new lives together as husband and wife. The emotion here? It's real, folks.
