The couples I marry contact me with all different lead times for their wedding. Sometimes I get the inquiry for my services months in advance — in fact I have already booked a wedding for 2013! And other times I get a phone call from a couple who exclaims, “We want to get married as…

Do you want to get married in a park? Do you want it to be lovely with blooming roses and boats going by? How about the Ballard Locks and Carl S. English Botanical Gardens in Ballard, North Seattle? As you can see above, the trees start blooming in the spring and fill the rose garden…
Brian & Kittrina – The Canal
Last night I had the pleasure of officiating Brian & Kittrina’s wedding at The Canal on Shilshole in Ballard. The canal is located right on the water with stunning views — including the Ballard Locks — all around. Kittrina looked amazing in her dress — truly one of the most beautiful dresses I have seen. …
The Wedding Ceremony
I blog about everything wedding: venues, style, vendors, traditions and more! What I haven’t blogged about, however, is the actual wedding ceremony. One of the first things I always tell my couples is, “There is no right way or wrong way to craft your ceremony. Only your way.” Having said that, there are some basic…
Get Married – Give Back!
For many years now I have been searching for a good volunteering gig that satisfied my desire to give back to the community but was also a good fit for me. I finally found it!

Ristorante Picolinos
I recently ate at Ristorante Picolinos (http://www.ristorantepicolinos.com/) and was totally blown away by the amazing food and the incredible atmosphere! Tom Bailiff, owner of Ristorante Picolinos has really hit it out of the park with this gem. Here is a little information about the restaurant: Picolino translated loosely means “little darling”. Picolinos strives to offer…
Ray's Boathouse Wedding
This past summer I had the privilege of seeing many beautiful venues. Some were as simple as an outdoor garden (see Ballard Locks posts), and others were private homes, mansions and hotels.
