Arica and Eddie’s wedding anniversary was just around the corner when Arica called me about doing a super fun photo shoot. We didn’t want it to be stuffy or super formal, but fun and dynamic, and decided to call our shoot “The Swanky Shoot” (because I have to name EVERYTHING a silly name…). After hair and makeup by Tiara’s On Location, we headed downtown to the Fairmont Olympic Hotel and the Westlake Center for some fun Christmastime city exploration (see, told you I was behind on the blogging!!). They were married last year in December at the luxurious Fairmont, so they rented a room there tohave a mini-getaway for the rest of the weekend (plus some fantastic downtown holiday shopping!). We walked around the city streets, rode on the carousel, took a horse and carriage ride, and ended up back at the hotel for some dressy pics before they headed off to an anniversary dinner.
