Spring is in the air and so is wedding season. Cathy and Noah met while they were going to college in the east coast. Years later, work brought both of them to the beautiful Pacific Northwest. When Jennifer and I first met with Cathy and Noah, we immediately knew we would have a great time with them. Both are so laid back and relaxed with no big list of “what needs to happen.” They were up for anything and really left it to us to take the lead on their special day.

We started out at Howe Street Stairs. These stairs are known for the hundreds of steep steps that connect neighborhoods. You’ll often find people, including Cathy and Noah, running up and down these steps burning maximum calories. I on the other hand, don’t frequent these steps, let alone carry a camera bag full of gear. This was my first time taking photos at these steps with a bride and groom. Although I was huffing and puffing at the end of this series, I knew it was worth being completely out of breath for the shots that we got.

After getting my workout for the day, we decided to capture the rest of their wedding photos at one of my favorite parks in Seattle, Volunteer Park. No matter how many times I’ve been there, it never disappoints. The cherry blossoms were in full bloom and the skies were blue! It was a perfect day for a wedding. Weeks prior, Seattle saw very minimal clear skies and set records of continuous rain. But on this day, the sun came out, people were smiling all around us, and we were fortunate to capture such sweet moments with this beautiful couple.

Congratulations Cathy and Noah!
