TIFFANY AND MATT – SEATTLE ELOPEMENT
06/23/2010It was definitely not your typical Monday this week at Laura Marchbanks Photography. Two very unusual things happened. One, we had a wedding! YAY! Two, we had a wedding of a wedding photographer! Wow! Tiffany and Matt decided 30 days ago to get themselves hitched. In those 30 short days they managed to plan a very thought-out and meaningful ceremony for the two of them, their families, and their little one to come. The ceremony was held at the bride’s grandparent’s house, a place held close to the heart of Tiffany. She has so many childhood memories from this place. Walking through the hallways and standing in the rooms, I was brought right back to the sights and smells of my own grandparents home. The creaky floor boards, the warm light. The symbol of a family at it’s roots.
Tiffany and Matt are a very talented duo of photographers based out of Napa, we both went to Brooks, so when she called to inquire about her wedding we immediately hit it off. Borrowed from her own words, “it felt like talking to an old friend…” so true. I’m not going to lie though, the thought of shooting for another photographer is crazy intimidating. Tiffany’s natural glow and easy demeanor immediately put fear out of my mind, and it actually made posing and shooting a cinch.
The uber talented Jenny Bowker hard at work.
yummy light….
Stunning…. simply stunning…. gasp.
Tiffany and Matt had a webcam set up so their friends and family that couldn’t make it could watch the whole thing on livestream… SMART!
mmmm cake. i heart Trophy Cupcakes.
These vintage cameras were borrowed from Tiffany’s grandfathers personal equipment collection. Much loved, and the perfect accessory.
Their intimate dinner reception was held at Purple Cafe, in the new downtown Bellevue location. One of my favorite restaurants, and perfect for their wine loving taste. If only Tiffany could drink…. ;-)
I’d like to consider myself a Gnocchi connoisseur of sorts. This was pretty tasty if I do say so myself.
Congrats Tiffany and Matt on so many levels! I can’t wait to see adventures in your future!
