jewish wedding

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!

sonya + jonathan, a preview | married on heyday farm | bainbridge island wedding photographers

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.
