The party was tons of fun; they had the most awesome DJ and he kept the dance floor full all night:

Jaime & Mike, congratulations! We can’t even tell you how thrilled we were to be able to capture your day!

Jaime and Mike put a high priority on photography, and scheduled plenty of time to make sure we got tons of great pictures. We literally spent the whole day with them. They had a First Look on the roof of the hotel where everybody got ready, and from there we all got into a huge Hummer limo and drove around downtown Seattle to take lots of cool pictures with the wedding party. The day was just perfect – relaxed, happy, fun, and full of fabulous details. We ended up with so many awesome pictures that there are too many for one blog post! Today we’ll be sharing the “getting ready” and bridal party pictures, and we’ll be back soon with the pictures from the ceremony and reception. Jaime & Mike, we hope you’re having the best time in Italy!

Mike getting ready:

They wrote letters to each other and read them before seeing each other:

Mike wrote Jaime’s new last name on her card:

There’s a moment when the veil goes on, and everything suddenly comes together, and this is that moment:

Time for flowers:

They had their very sweet First Look on the roof of the hotel with Seattle in the background:

We started off at Kerry Park for some “formal” shots with the Seattle skyline in the background:

Then it was off to Pioneer Square for more fun shots:

And then it was on to the venue where the wedding took place, Sodo Park:

Check back soon for the rest of the wedding pictures! Lots more to come!
