Airy Atrium Spring Wedding - Shopie & Dave
Sophie and Dave planned their wedding with love and intention. They chose an intimate setting at the Center for Urban Horticulture. This beautiful spot is part of the University of Washington, where they both studied. The location holds special memories for them, making it the perfect choice for their celebration.
Their wedding was not just about them. It was also a way to thank the people who have supported them over the years. Friends and family gathered to share in their joy. The couple wanted to give back to these important people. Instead of traditional detail shots, they chose to gift portraits to their wedding party and families. This thoughtful gesture highlighted their love and appreciation.
The early spring weather added to the magic of the day. Fresh blooms and green leaves surrounded the couple and their guests. Each moment felt warm and joyful. Capturing these moments on film brought a soft, timeless look to the photos. The gentle colors reflected the season and the warmth of the occasion.
Sophie wore a simple, elegant dress that flowed beautifully. Dave looked handsome in a classic suit. Their smiles radiated happiness. The love between them was clear to everyone present. Every portrait told a story, not just of the couple, but of the connections that shaped their lives.
Each family member and friend received a portrait, a keepsake to remind them of this special day. The couple's decision to focus on these relationships made the day feel personal and heartfelt. Guests mingled, shared memories, and celebrated together. Sophie and Dave also incorporated some unique elements into their wedding day. First they had a table full of vintage cameras loaded with film for their guests to use during the reception. This was such a hit on the dance floor! They also decided to not do a bouquet toss but instead to do a stuff cat toss. Yes, you read that right! They had a artist make two felted cats that looked like their own cats and whoever caught the cat would have a donation made to the local humane society in their guests name. It was such a fun and personal alternative to a bouquet toss!
In this intimate setting, love filled the air. The laughter, tears, and joy of the day echoed the couple’s love for one another and for all those who stood by them. The film photography captured every smile, every hug, and every moment. The images will serve as lasting memories for Sophie, Dave, and their loved ones.
This wedding at the University of Washington was not just an event. It was a celebration of love, support, and community. Sophie and Dave will cherish these memories for years to come, and so will everyone who was part of their story.
