"And when we find ourselves in the place just right; it will be in the valley of love and delight."


From the first email exchange with Candace, we knew we were going to be a great wedding-photographers match. Strike that! After we cleared up the confusion of my mistaking her for someone else (whoops!), then we knew we were going to be a great match. How didst we know? Well let me count the evidences:
  1. Wedding in a historic little white chapel. Yay! We can cross that one off the photography bucket list! 
  2. A blended family wedding. If you know us, you know that blended family weddings hold a special place in our hearts. There is just something about pledging your love and lives together as a family that makes us swoon!
  3. Glamorous old Hollywood style wedding gown. The very same one I drooled over while planning my own wedding. Can we say good taste?  ;)
  4. Cabins, camping, Seahawks and rustic-vintage things! {See also Engagement Session}
  5. Ummm… did you see that dress???
  6. A beautiful love story. Two people whose lives intersected at various points beginning as children near the age of their own little girls. Through their life experiences of love and loss, they intersect once again - much later in life – and fall deeply in love with each other and each of their beautiful daughters to create an amazing bond.

Simple gifts of love, family and friendship were truly what this day was about.

Without further ado, a little sneak peek into last weekend’s bonding of two beautiful families.

























Awww... and we haven't even gotten to the ceremony yet. That's all for now. More to come.

I'll Be Your Hero | Tracy Castle Superhero Wedding | Seattle Wedding Photographer

Image
A castle hidden in the woods outside Seattle. Odes to comic book super heroes adorn the tables. Passionate dancing. A fireworks send-off. The wedding party is elegantly cloaked in black - the color of mystery and intrigue - with pops of colorful shoes and bouquets as if to signify the true nature of their superhero identities lies somewhere beneath... ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Heather Reis Fike and Rachael Reis are sisters who both grew up falling in love with photography.
