Ana Kelly ties the knot: 10/18/08

Amelia and I had the privilege of photographing Seattle's own Ana Kelly at her fabulous black and white wedding last Saturday. Ana is a radio personality who you will hear every morning with Kent and Alan on STAR 101.5 - However, more than just a soothing voice, Ana is lovely and kind and she was a stunning bride.

The wedding was at St. Josephs Cathedral on Capitol Hill and the reception was at Hotel Monaco (one of my favorites of course.) The wedding party included Ana and Blake's tiny little daughter Lucy (donning polka dots) and the very dapper Geno the pug (donning his handmade tux.)

Wedding details included bride's maids choice black dresses, pug socks for the groom's men, red Gerber daisy bouquets, vivid stained glass windows and of course, a very handsome couple.

Reception details included a separate "football room" to catch up on college ball, complete with it's own menu: potato chips, cocktail weenies, cheese whiz and specially ordered Mallomars cookies (the bride's fav)

The remainder of the evening included a rousing sing-along of "That's Amore" led by father of the bride, a cake topper that included a little "Megadeath Rules" note, German Chocolate cupcakes and lots and lots of children + dancing, mostly combined.

We were even able to sneak out for a moment to grab some late afternoon photos outside: in the street and at the Seattle Public Library.

Congratulations Ana + Blake (and Lucy + Geno of course)

Your dog will be at your wedding? Then we should be too!

Despite having just announced this service, we are nearly booked for summer weddings and have already had work featured in CityDog Magazine's recent "Here Comes the Dog" article. Also, our new (and I must say BREATHTAKING) wedding portfolio has been chosen as a "staff pick" by our publisher.

We really are pleased to finally offer wedding photography. We are honored to now have the opportunity to document the second most important event in our clients' life...

...The first of course, being the day they adopted their dog :)
