Ellen + Dave. Wedding at Guemes Island Resort.

Fall. Weddings. Fall weddings! I love, love, love fall weddings. There’s something extra perfect about the low sunshine and crisp air that puts everybody in the best mood. Add a bride with pink hair, the most beautiful flower arrangements, and a cake with a twist (keep scrolling for the cutest surprise!) and you have the perfect amount of wedding magic.

Ellen and Dave hosted their closest loved ones at the quaint and quirky Guemes Island Resort in September, and I’ve been swooning over their photographs ever since. Saying their vows with the Puget Sound as their backdrop, their quintessential PNW wedding came together flawlessly. My girl Lauren at Flying Anchor Event Design always goes above and beyond for her couples, but the amount of character and charm she helped these two infuse their offbeat and intimate wedding with is astounding. If you’re getting married in 2018, do yourself a huge favor and recruit Lauren to be your immensely talented right hand lady. You won’t regret the peace of mind that comes with having her on your team!
