Jaime + Mike | wedding (part 1)

Wow! I'm not really sure where to begin with this wedding - there was just so much awesomeness. For starters, it was in Seattle!! We've been super excited for Jaime & Mike's wedding for a long time, especially after we got to meet them back in March where we found out how cool they are, and got to take their engagement pictures around Seattle. The weather that day was rainy and cold, but they had the complete opposite weather for their wedding day - sunny, warm, and absolutely beautiful.

Jaime and Mike put a high priority on photography, and scheduled plenty of time to make sure we got tons of great pictures. We literally spent the whole day with them. They had a First Look on the roof of the hotel where everybody got ready, and from there we all got into a huge Hummer limo and drove around downtown Seattle to take lots of cool pictures with the wedding party. The day was just perfect - relaxed, happy, fun, and full of fabulous details. We ended up with so many awesome pictures that there are too many for one blog post! Today we'll be sharing the "getting ready" and bridal party pictures, and we'll be back soon with the pictures from the ceremony and reception. Jaime & Mike, we hope you're having the best time in Italy!

They wrote letters to each other and read them before seeing each other:

There's a moment when the veil goes on, and everything suddenly comes together, and this is that moment:
