We were so very blessed to join this family both this weekend and the one before that for two weddings!  Amy and Kyle were in Arlington, WA at the beautiful Nature's Connection. They were so cute with their young sweet love and their flip flops. We had a great time taking portraits, the weather was amazing (I got a sunburn=)) and of course, the bride was breathtaking. Here are a few peeks of the day! And then, this weekend, we joined Amy's cousin, Lori for her and Buddy's wedding on Vashon Island. We expected a hot summer day, but we got a little more excitement with a spring like raining off and on day. We enjoyed all the laughs and fun of the day on Vashon. Lori and Buddy were so excited to be getting married and even the rain didn't damper their spirits. The sun came out brightly for the ceremony and it worked out wonderfully!

It's beautiful, the day has arrived, all the preparations have been made, for the wedding. There is the moment that it is asked "Who gives this bride? I do, Her mother and I do." Mothers start tearing up, but there is more to go, the sermon, the communion, the closing, reception. There is little time for the feelings that come with our children leaving the home they have been in from birth and starting out a new life! Oh yes, back to the images, so it struck me, the emotions as the bride and groom walk down the farewell aisle and actually drive away from the reception. The emotions of the sweet young bride and her parents. I just had to share these and tell you the
