Meghan and Jesse’s Wedding Photography on The Skansonia
July 26th, 2011
On board the MV Skansonia on Lake Union June 5th, Meghan Ahearn and Jesse Dungan and all of their friends took a leap of joy after their wedding ceremony on the rear deck. What great jumpers. Another beautiful spring evening in June, better than some of the days we are having this July. Meghan and Jesse were so laid back. Meghan must be the most relaxed bride I have seen in years. Another wonderful touch was the bluegrass band they had play. They are called Northern Departure. Most everybody got up and danced to these 4 young guys palying bluegrass. It was great to watch and try and photograph people swinging around doing variations of country dancing.
Here are a few selected highlights and a bunch more in a slideshow here .

Wedding Photography of Jamie and Kevin’s Skansonia Wedding
July 15th, 2011
Last night aboard the historic ferry MV Skansonia on Lake Union, Jamie and Kevin were married on what turned out to a beautiful evening. The sun came out from behind the clouds where they had been hiding all day. After threatening a shower in the late afternoon, the sun burst through just Keven got set to walk down the aisle on the stern of the old ferry. It was the start of a wonderful wedding celebration and I have picked a few images to preview before Kevin and Jamie head out for their honeymoon sailing up to and through the San Juan Islands.
Liz Blankenship and Eric Aderhold were married aboard the historic old ferry MV Skansonia on Lake Union on the last weekend in May. The weather that Friday was beautiful and the light was golden were lucky with one of the few really nice days weather wise of the year. I have previously posted pictures of Liz and Eric’s engagement and they are such a sweet couple and a lot of fun to hang out with.
Here is a link Skansonia Wedding Pictures to some more pictures. They are the initial posting of wedding photos that I previously highlighted on this blog after the wedding.

Anna and Jeremy chose the Olympic Park Institute, Crescent Lake, Olympic National Park as the venue for their February wedding. Above is a view of Crescent Lake on that February day.
Anna and Jeremy were happy to be able to spend a few days in the Olympic National Park with their family and friends and then get married at the Olympic Park Institute which they describe as “Nestled among the ancient forests, glacial lakes, and towering mountains of Olympic National Park, Olympic Park Institute is a beautiful natural setting to celebrate your wedding or commitment ceremony. Wake up to the hushed sounds of cedar and fir trees rustling in the breeze and step out of your cozy cabin to watch deer graze along the shore of Lake Crescent”. In fact as everyone was having their dinner I photographed a deer grazing outside the dining room. The facilities are on the rustic side rather than the elegant, but if you have Northwest blood in your veins you will enjoy the great outdoors surrounding the place. “Olympic Park Institute maintains modern and historic heated cabins that can accommodate between 70 and 120 guests. Rooms sleep two to six people, with common areas and an adjacent bathhouse with private showers. Wheelchair accessible facilities are available.”
Here are some pictures from their wedding day. The indoor building was fine for the ceremony but if you are planning a wedding in the summer, you could have the more spectacular Crescent Lake in the background of your wedding ceremony pictures.

I wanted to post a few sneak preview pictures from Blake and Wendy’s wedding on Saturday in Coupeville, Whidbey Island at the Captain Whidbey Inn.
It was an intimate wedding in a gorgeous location. The Captain Whidbey Inn is a romantic turn of the 20th century inn in a delightful original log building with charming waterfront cabins and more modern accommodations with a view of the lagoon. Above is Blake and Wendy’s wedding celebration on the deck overlooking the lagoon on a partly sunny and partly overcast day. After all of the rain all week, we all felt lucky to have the mild and bright day we got. Here a few other shots I just grabbed since I have yet to start on the edit. I had another wedding on Sunday on Crystal Mountain and that will be the next posting I make here when I have a chance to go over those images.
