We arrived the night prior to the wedding so we would be close by for the next morning’s preparations at the Inn at Ship Bay. When Raina [...]

Sam & Smriti

Woodland Park Zoo Indian and Scottish Wedding

March 10, 2011 Weddings
Sam and Smriti being draped with cloth at their Indian ceremony at the Woodland Park Zoo in Seattle.

Sam is another great friend I met while working in a research lab at the UW several years ago. He’s passionate about soccer and that’s where he met Smriti. Everything clicked and they became inseparable (I know this from personal experience!).

Their wedding was held at Seattle’s Woodland Park Zoo on June 17th, 2006. This venue fit one of their wedding venue requirements- open flame! They set up and decorated a tent just outside of the main food pavilion and guests gathered around for the colorful, lengthy ceremony.

Rachel & Will

Semiahmoo Resort Wedding

Rachel and will enjoying their wedding at Semiahmoo

Rachel and Will held their wedding at the Semiahmoo Resort and their reception at the nearby Semiahmoo Golf and Country clubhouse. Their wedding day weather was perfect- sun, blue skies and a nice breeze. Rachel and her girls began their day with hair and makeup at the Semiahmoo Spa while Will took in some football with the guys in their resort suite. Later in the day, everyone gathered on the large patio only several feet from the beach to the north of the resort. At the conclusion of the ceremony, and after brief family photos inside, we had some time with the two of them around the grounds but then let them catch a breather on the main lobby couch which I photographed (discretely) before moving to the reception site
