Seattle Wedding Photography – Laura + Mike at Hidden Meadows

Laura and Mike had their beautiful wedding last weekend at Hidden Meadows in Snohomish, WA.  I had so much fun photographing their wedding.  You know, Laura planned a wedding that shared so many elements that I had envisioned for my own wedding, the difference is that she actually made her vision come true!  She has put in so much planning and so many personal touches to the wedding, it made it very special for her and Mike.  This is a long post, I hope you are here to read their whole story.

Laura planned for a first look with Mike and has allocated plenty of time before the ceremony for pictures for just the two of them.  I really love it when couples do that.  The first look is as emotional as the ceremony.  In fact, it made my eyes all teary when I shot the first look.

Mike is anxiously waiting for Laura’s approach.  He could hear her greet some of the family on the way here, and the wait is almost over.

They are so happy to see each other.

 I think this is the part that got to me …  They are such a sweet and loving couple.

Laura and Mike planned an outdoor wedding at this gorgeous venue, but Seattle weather was extremely unpredictable.  The rain came and went and came back.  Lucikly, Laura had a backup plan!  The indoor space was ready within minutes of notice.

Here’s the bridal party!
