James & Dionna Classic & Organic Wedding at Court in the Square

I’m so excited to share highlights from this wedding because this venue was one of my bucket list venues! I actually came across pictures of it on Pinterest one day and was amazed to find that it was a venue in Seattle. Since then, it stayed on my bucket list in hopes that one day, I’d be able to shoot there! So when Dionna inquired with me about my photography services, I was so excited. Not only was it a venue I was dying to photograph at, I could tell by her email that she & James were absolutely my ideal client! So I basically had to refrain from responding to her email in all caps with “PICK ME, PICK ME!” Ha!! At our consultation, I realized that I went to middle school with Dionna’s sister Joclyn which was a fun twist, as well!

James & Dionna met on an online dating app (Tinder, to be exact!). And for those of you who understand how Tinder works, James was actually Dionna’s first “swipe right” and it remained an ongoing joke throughout their wedding that kept everyone laughing! They grew their amazing relationship until the day that James proposed on a gorgeous Seattle day, in which he had hired a professional photographer to capture such a special moment. When I heard that he did that, he automatically had points in my book!!

Their wedding day started out smoothly with getting ready at the Alexis Hotel in Downtown Seattle. This was also where probably the sweetest Father-Daughter “First Look” I had ever seen took place! Seriously, it had me in tears behind the camera! We then arrived at Court in The Square for James & Dionna’s “First Look” on the rooftop and it was more than perfect! The rest of the day flew by and I’m so excited about all the images I have to share from their special day! Here are some of my favorites!

Everyone was so surprised that Mom had tears… But the emotions hit everyone so fast!

Everyone in the room had tears!

Dionna had 3 bridesmaids (her sisters!) and then 6 honorary bridesmaids! Such a cool idea!

Everyone stood and clapped after Dad’s emotional speech!
