I've been looking forward to this wedding all summer long - Laura was a bridesmaid in a wedding I photographed quite a few years ago now, and she was getting married on Whidbey Island, a spot where I had the pleasure of photographing a friend's wedding a few summers back. There was a lot of smoke coming down from forest fires in Canada, so the usual beautiful weather was replaced with some fog and haze, and an amazing orange sun and bright pink moon - not exactly what Laura had planned for, but really beautiful in its own right. . .
My third and final post on the subject of Lauren + Jasper’s lovely Whidbey Island Wedding: their actual wedding photos! I loved their gorgeous ceremony site, on a bluff overlooking the sound, and the reception at the Roaming Radish was beautiful and delicious! Add to that lovely family and friends, a full moon rising over the reception, and a slew of amazing selfies, and you’ve got yourself a pretty amazing wedding. Congratulations, you two — I was honored to be a part of it all!
As far as I can tell, Jasper’s mom Kathy is the Martha Stewart of Whidbey Island. With plants and lights and flowers (not to mention a delicious dinner), she transformed her yard into a gorgeous rehearsal dinner venue the evening before Jasper and Lauren’s wedding. It looked so beautiful that I half-wondered if I hadn’t accidentally stumbled into the wedding reception.
