A couple of years ago, I had a magic moment when a wonderful couple, Jessie & Adam, invited me to Whidbey Island to photograph their beautiful wedding. I fell in love with the place right away, and I’ve been lucky enough over the years to be able to go back to this pretty place time and again to capture amazing weddings.

My most recent Whidbey Island wedding was a really special one — it was the wedding of Sara & Greg, who were one of my very favorite couples to work with this summer. They are such fun, warm and loving people and their wedding was a real extension of their personalities and love for each other.

Sara and Greg are always near water — they live on a houseboat in Seattle, and got married on an island. Naturally, they chose to have their first look moment on this secluded beach.

Greenbank Farm played host to the rest of the day’s festivities, and the wonderful pies they make there made an appearance later in the day at the reception.

I loved being there for Sara and Greg’s very sweet wedding ceremony, which got me a little teary-eyed. I wasn’t the only one.

Sara and Greg, thank you so much for allowing me to be a part of your wedding day. It was a lot of fun in a beautiful place surrounded by warm and wonderful people. I wish you two the happiest life together!
