Carnation, Washington

We shot this wedding in the first week of April and as the saying goes about May flowers…. It rained a lot! So much so that the river that runs through Carnation Washington broke it’s banks and flooded the entire valley… the valley I really wanted to shoot in. Every cloud has a silver lining and the rising water made for some incredibly unique images. I have decided that while everyone wants a sunny day for their wedding, every time we get really extreme weather the images are just as good if not better than if the sun had been there in the first place! It never stopped raining. I think it rained for 48 hours straight and it was not a light rain at all, it poured. Carnation is 45 minutes out of Seattle so I should not have expected anything less. This was definitely the right couple for this kind of weather. They are used to it and it did not phase them one bit. They were so easy going and adaptable and I just love them for it! Thanks so much to them both. The wedding took place at the old Carnation Milk factory and it was yet another unbelievable event by Lisa Vorce, Mindy Rice, and team. I like working with just about everyone I come across but this group is especially fun to be around. They are always pushing their designs forward and it’s really inspiring to work in that kind of environment. They planned well ahead and designed a rain proof event from start to finish. Two of my favorite elements were the tepees they brought in for guests to hang out in and the very cool custom made chair covers. Below is the result.
