The bouquet.
Kerri Higgins and Graham Sheldon got married on August 15th at McCurdy Park and the Museum of History and Industry,  MOHAI. It was a beautiful summer day with great sunlight and warm temperatures. The complete wedding has been edited and will be uploaded to the client section of the A Beautiful Day Photography website shortly as soon as the slide show is done, but I wanted to get thwese few pictures up here first to tease to what will be coming. There are so many really great photos from the day it is hard to select.

Shortly after the wedding ceremony of Caroline Sarkis and Randy Najera on August 1st at the Georgetown Studios we got everyone outside for a large group wedding photograph. The Georgetown Studios are housed in an historic  Seattle landmark known as the Engine Room. It has  incredible 25’ ceilings, elegant light filled 15’ windows,  Romanesque arches and a history behind it. Here is a little of it from their web site:

“The Seattle Brewing and Malting Company was established in 1892 in the City of Georgetown, and by 1904 this building was the largest brewery west of the Mississippi River and with addition upon addition through 1912 it became the sixth largest in the world. For a time before Washington State introduced prohibition in 1916, the Georgetown brewery was the largest industrial establishment in the state of Washington. It was the job of the engine room to power the whole plant. Just the sheer size of the room you can picture massive turbines turning out enough electricity to produce the incredibly popular Rainier beer.

The plant was shut down in 1916 at the start of the Washington State prohibition laws and the building became a cold storage and ice facility. The Rainier Brewing Co. was moved to San Francisco as California didn’t have prohibition laws. Soon enough as prohibition went national the company was making soda and near beer. It wasn’t until 1935 and after prohibition laws were taken off the books when the Seattle Malting and Brewing Co. returned Rainier beer back to Seattle, albeit to a different brewing facility. This new building is now what we know as the “Tully’s Building” along I-5.
Today
Today the “Original” Rainier Brewery building is home to many small businesses including “Georgetown Brewery” who make Manny’s Ale, as well as many local artists. The Engine Room has been in sporadic use as a venue to many arts organizations as well as being used for photo and film/video shoots.”  Go to http://www.georgetownstudios.com/ to continue reading.

Caroline’s shoes are ready to be put on.

Caroline Sarkis and Randy Najera were married on August 1st at the Georgetown Studios on one of the hottest days of the summer. I met with her in her Queen Anne apartment as she was getting ready. Then we hopped in the limo over to Kerry Park for Randy to get his first look of Caroline in her dress before the wedding. Then back to the apartment for finishing touches and then on to Georgetown Studios for the main event. The Georgetown Studios are a great place for a wedding with all of that brilliant light streaming through the windows making it easy to shoot without flash. I am just going to let the photos tell the story from here. Enjoy.

Jason and Darrah were married at Golden Gardens Beach on Sept 6th. We went out after the rain and made some photos walking on the beach. This which we made just as the sun was setting on a rainy yet sometime brilliant sunny afternoon was my favorite photograph of the walk. More to come after the final edit.
