couture vintage wedding invitations by seattle wedding photographer studio laurel mcconnell photography

I adore the style of Nicole and Steve’s modern-turn-rustic-vintage wedding. As we arrived, we spotted one of our favs, Sequoia Leopold, polishing off a lovely wedding look for Nicole’s makeup. Her hair was done by Rachel at Salon Voda. She slipped on her Modern Trousseau silk gown and was nothing less than breathtakingly gorgeous. We met up with Steve looking quite dapper in his SUPER swank Barneys suit, polished it off with some dashing Paul Smith cufflinks, and we photographed these two lovelies starting at Seattle’s swankiest art hotel, Hotel Max. Each floor is different- the doors are actually large printed murals by (Daniels International) of photographs of pineapples, doors, suitcases, and rock n’ roll legends like Kurt Cobain.

After shooting some saucy portraits with attitude, we all migrated to Woodinville’s best kept secret, the Dragonfly Retreat, for their rustic country wedding in the forest, officiated by David Cooper.With rosey hydrangeas, peach roses, Prosecco as favors, and Polariods as the guest book, the reception was stylish and fun! Twelve Baskets served up some delicious food, with a dainty and detailed cake by Jen’s Desserts. Bamboo Beats spun as the guests danced the night away at this little wedding venue tucked away just moments from Seattle.seattle wedding photographer Laurel McConnell captures wedding  parasols, hydrangeas, and roseswedding photographs by seattle photographer laurel mcconnell of  polariod guest bookflip flops and bucket of vintage wedding flowers wedding  photograph by laurel mcconnell photographyseattle wedding photographer laurel mcconnell photographs details  of pink peach jellybeans wedding favorssilhouette photograph of a bride walking down the aisle with her  father by laurel mcconnell photography in seattle

After the ceremony, Nicole and Steve took a break and enjoyed some time alone. They allowed us to make some more beautiful images of them as the light was just getting it’s sweetest.seattle photographer laurel mcconnell capures happy bride and  groom with parasol in the sun at dragonfly retreatbride and groom relaxing on the grass by Laurel McConnellpink and peach modern vintage wedding photographs by seattle  photographer laurel mcconnellmodern ring, wedding parasol, champagne, vintage antique table numbers photographed by seattle wedding photographer laurel mcconnelloutdoor reception bridal vintage pink decor at a lodge by seattle  photographer laurel mcconnellphoto of white wedding cake with sugar flowers by seattle wedding photographer laurel mcconnellguests laughing while having their picture taken by laurel  mcconnell photographywedding photographer in seattle laurel mcconnell captures wedding  guests laughing
