Classic, Elegant & Simple | An Autumn, Seattle Wedding Celebration | Anne + Brian

Nicole Goddard — Tue, 01 Dec 2009 02:36:14 +0000

My first time meeting Brian, the groom, was minutes before he saw his stunning bride, Anne. He was calm, collective & cool; anticipating their first glance in front of the Alexis Hotel downtown Seattle. I set-up the first glance alongside the hotel making sure it was clear of people. I absolutely LOVE this moment. It’s a time when brides & grooms can have an intimate moment seeing each other for the very first time on their wedding day. They can exchange sweet, loving words and even have time to shed a few tears of joy during this once in a lifetime moment. And, during this, there aren’t 200 set of eyes of them, just me from afar with a long lens capturing every second. Anne and Brian’s expressions were transparent of the love they have for each other, not just during their first glance, but also throughout the entire day.

The rest of day unfolded beautifully, full of smiles & sunshine. It was brisk fall day, October 10, 2009. The autumn colors were beaming of reds, oranges and yellows which perfectly tied into the wedding day color scheme. We took the ‘formal’ shots of the wedding party near the Seattle iconic Kerry Park and met the family at the most beautiful Catholic Church called Blessed Sacrament Catholic Church in the University District followed by their lovely ceremony. The reception was held at The Canal in Ballard! So much fun. A special thanks to Melissa Parker with Amazing Events and my amazing photography assistant, Amber Brickman.

Congrats Anne and Brian!! I had such awonderful time capturing your wedding.

McKinley Family | Autumn Colors in Seattle

I recently photographed the darling McKinley Family in their backyard during my latest trip to Seattle. What an amazing family and loved, loved all the stunning fall colors to play with. They enjoy playing croquet together, so it was a must to incorporate it in their photo shoot session. So fun! After the family shoot, I just focused on Max, for his High School Senior headshots. You can see his photos by clicking here!

Here are some of my fav’s from our session:

6 months old Brett giggles, “Happy October!”

The Wilson family, with Brett being the rising star, was my first out of 6 photoshoots during my recent 7 day visit to my home city of Seattle. It was a perfect, autumn day with sweet light and vivid colors. I love this time of year in the great NW when the leaves change colors. So pretty and the air is so crisp. I was lucky all week to have sunny days, especially for being in Seattle during October.

I’ve known Brett’s mom, Casey, for nearly 15 years! It is so special to me to see her with a sweet, little boy and a loving husband. I had a great time capturing them, and especially loved the pumpkin hat in honor of Halloween! I just can’t get over how cute Brett is.

Here are some of my favorite images from our session:
