Jesikah and Jon – Wedding at Alderbrook Park, Brush Prairie, Washington

Jesikah and Jon got married on their anniversary at the beautiful Alderbrook Park in Washington.  The deep reds of Jesikah’s bridal bouquet and the rich black of the bridesmaids’ dresses were a wonderful compliment to the lush green of the wedding site near the lake at Alderbrook.  The wedding had a subtle Snow White theme (notice the rich color scheme and the apples), which really fit in with the surrounding scenery (the little cottage seemed right out of a fairy tale). The sky threatened to rain all day, but the clouds cleared up momentarily for the ceremony (we even saw a bit of sun), and even though it rained a bit during the family photos and the portraits, Jesikah and Jon were great sports about it (and I thought it had a wonderfully romantic feel about it), you can even see the tiny specks of rain in some of the portraits.  The rain also gave me a great chance to see how very loving this group was, Jon was always willing to hold an umbrella, lend his jacket, or let Jesikah sit on his lap to keep her out of the rain as much as possible, and Jesikah was always checking to make sure everyone else (including her very sweet daughter) was warm and comfortable during the day. One of the groomsmen even made a makeshift rain cover for the littler kids using a tablecloth (which they thought was lots of fun to hide under and peek out of).  A few of my favorite photos below are the pictures of Jon with Jesikah’s daughter walking up the aisle to give him a hug and kiss, and the photo of Jesikah taking a quick break from the rain during our portraits by sitting on Jon’s lap, the picture of the little ones hiding from the rain, and the close up of Jesikah’s bouquet, where you can see the lovely rain drops.
