I just love Darren & Dani together. I’ve known Dani since high school and was so honored when she asked me to be apart of this amazing time in their lives! Through the planning process and their engagement photos, I just really enjoyed getting to know them as a couple more and more. And they are absolute NATURALS in front of the camera….which is always super fun for me!
Their day started off optimistic! There was rain in the forecast but I had high hopes that we would be able to pull through – and we did! Luckily, they had chosen to do a “first look” and we were able to get all of their formal photos done before the ceremony and we didn’t even have a drop off rain! However… 4pm hits and guests have arrived for the ceremony – absolute DOWNPOUR. We were so bummed especially because the ceremony space was OUTDOOR. We waited for about 20 minutes as Washington rain tends to pour for 20-30 mins and then let up. However, that wasn’t the case and we had to make that decision to compromise. I can’t even begin to tell you how much of a trooper Dani was. If I was in her shoes, I would’ve been SO upset but I remember her looking at me and saying “screw it, I’m getting married today rain or shine” and we made it happen!
They ended up moving the ceremony to under the reception tend. With their friends and family all gathered around their tables, we still had a gorgeous ceremony and everything worked out perfectly. The rest of their day turned out amazing with so much love and laughter and I couldn’t be more thankful to have been apart of it. Here are some favorites of their special day!
