Orcas Island Wedding Style

Oh My How Things Have Changed

Nothing like a before and after to see how much work has been put into a place when being decorated or renovated. Nothing like a before and after of some of the locations we have dressed for Wedding Receptions. When the magazines starts off with the landscape as dump site and shows the fantastic Victory Style garden as the after, it is just fabulous and fun to look at.  

Well  Snippet and Ink is posting a really spot on  series Snapshot of a Marriage offering advice from those who have been married to those who are looking to get married.  Emily Westbrooks a delightful American living in Dublin writer interviewed John and me. We had a really lovely chat. Memories abounded. Advice flowed easily.  Photos were requested of our wedding and of us now. We dutifully submitted. 

When you look at the pictures you can see alot of changes in our faces. I don't always like them but I have come to be really proud of them.  Lucky woman that I am. 

Next post: What I learned about Wedding Photography in looking for a picture to send. 

Done!

So very excited about the new website. So very grateful to everyone who helped in large ways and small ways.  It just feels better to have a contemporary site that can fit in with the pantheon of other beautiful wedding sites out there.

We are very excited to see what Snippet and Ink has in store. John and I were interviewed for a great series they are doing on giving any advice  to those about to get married. As a long married couple, 28 years this February, they wanted to know if we had a secret.  Respect and magic were the two words that kept popping out of our mouths. What do we mean? Well, hopefully the article will explain.

The San Juan Islands will be hosting a wedding show on Saturday March 9th in Friday Harbor and on Orcas Island. Isle Be Wed created by the super talent Felicity Milne of Cakes By Felicitations. As time goes on we will try to post more about what to expect. But I can for sure say this, if you are even noodling on the idea of getting married in the San Juan Islands, you just have to come.  You will meet some incredibly talented vendors who can make the day perfect. 

As always, thanks for stopping by. See you soon. 

Are we there yet?

The website is almost  ready. It has been a bit like 

making decisions, choosing photos, designing pages, offering ideas; which way do we go.

But we are almost there. And we will let you know.  Then it's time for the Blog to be put through the same process. So greatful to all those who have helped make this possible. Annie Sparks-Dempster of Annie Sparks-Dempster fame rules and Dan Burke is wizard infront of the curtain, Thanks guys. Oh and Affinity Photography gave me this fabulous and illustrative photo of our most wonderful Orcas Island.
