Amy and Amir Wedding

I posted a little while back about Amy and Amir's engagement photos, it was a blast.  Then they chose me to be their wedding photographer.  I was so stoked!  I knew that it would be a super fun wedding, and they had some cool things planned like riding into the reception in a boat and an amazing first dance, since they are both swing dancers.  Since the wedding was in Seattle in May, there was a good chance that it would be raining, even the weather forecast predicted a 10% chance of precipitation.  So, the morning of the wedding day, I drove to the venue, Blue Ribbon Cooking, in the rain.  Drat!  But, even though the ceremony was outside and it was absolutely pouring by this time, it turned out just fine.  It was a little tricky to shoot around the umbrellas and tents, but it made us be more creative in our photography.  And I was relieved to read on Amy's blog (about why she was glad to have her wedding in the rain) that she was really happy with the way the photos turned out.  Nothing sounds better to a photographer!  Anyway, one of my favorite parts of their wedding was the bridal party arriving to the reception on boats.  The guests were blowing bubbles out of the windows of the venue, and the entire effect was just really unique and cool.  My next favorite part of the wedding was their first dance.  Both Amy and Amir are really great swing dancers, and they put together this choreography that was so fun and totally them.  The whole celebration was delightful, full of love, cake and dancing!  I'm so pleased that Amy and Amir chose me to be their wedding photographer and that they loved their photos.  They are really great friends of mine, so I don't feel weird saying that I am looking forward to taking some maternity pictures sometime in the next couple of years...ahem!  :)

It was really hard to choose just a few of my favorites from their wedding, but here are a few.  Also, if you check out Amy's blog you can see several posts about her wedding with a bunch of her favorites that I took.
