I have to say that this might be one of my favorite weddings of the entire year! Carrie and Adam had their destination wedding on a beautiful Northwest afternoon on July 28th at Semiahmoo Resort in Blaine, Washington.
As camera assistants for Law & Order SVU, they know their film, so I’m proud to say that we shot some beautiful Kodak and Fuji film for this entire wedding (that’s right, old school!), even whipping out my trusty toy Holga. They work with film on a daily basis and even have a darkroom, so handling film is first nature for them and their friends (who by the way, are all HUGE film nerds like we are and all work in the industry and are photographers, even on sets like Sex And The City too! Not one person asked us why we weren’t shooting digital, it was great!)
Personal touches were everywhere- her flowers were designed by one of her fabulous bridesmaids, her invitations by another fabulous bridesmaid, her officient was a family friend, and her guest book was a combination of a signing print and a scrapbook, where guests could create their own scrapbooking page.
At the end of the night, I didn’t want to go home- it was a great, emotional, touching, and fun day. Now that everyone is back on their respective sides of the country (they all flew in from New York!), I’m sad that the wedding is over!!
