The Beach House
September 2, Miscellaneous
This is the summer I never want to let go of. Sunday mornings we hike down to my family's cabin, spend the day fishing, grill up the day's catch for dinner and talk about how blessed we are to have a place to come to that's full of laughter, relaxation and comfort. As summer ends, we want to hold onto this place a little tighter, we're not ready to leave it. 

This is how we spend our Sundays together...

Melody & Adam
August 30, Weddings
We drove down a long, winding dirt road to find Melody's cabin on a crisp Saturday morning. It was perched beautifully on the edge of Port Gamble Bay and there was a light breeze while we stood outside for a moment. The day was going to be a whirlwind for Melody and Adam and for us, it was the most anticipated wedding of the summer.

The amount of time and attention Melody put into every detail of the day amazed us. We loved everything about their wedding from the classic ceremony at St. Paul's Church to the relaxed, backyard reception overlooking the Hood Canal.

Sharla & Tyler
August 21, Weddings
Sharla's smile is the light in every room.  Tyler looks at her like he sees her soul.  They are high school sweethearts who come from loving and supportive families.  They adore children, and crack subtle smiles when they think about starting a family.  These two have a rare appreciation for life's simpler things, like long road-trips on Tyler's Harley Davidson Road King Classic (one of my personal favorites), and adorning their walls with antique framed wedding photographs :)  

Their beautiful wedding was held at St. Paul's Church in Port Gamble...one of our favorite places!  It was built in 1869, has eight cathedral stained glass windows, and the original pews.  The sun was shining, Sharla was stunning, and Tyler shed a tear as she walked down the aisle.
