Neenah + AndyCentury Ballroom WeddingSeattle, WA

It was a true pleasure to join Neenah + Andy for their vintage-inspired Seattle wedding as it spanned three unique venues: The University of Washington Waterfront Activities Center in the shadow of Husky Stadium on Lake Washington, Mars Hill Church in the University District, and finally for their gorgeous Century Ballroom wedding atop Capitol Hill. And what a beautiful day! Rarest of the rare in March around these parts.

The couple readied at the Waterfront Activity Center with Andy’s modern take on the vintage groom decked out in black with a vest, striped tie, caramel brogues and boutonniere of astrid, pussy willow and silver coins. Neenah had an elegant Vera Wang gown crowned with a birdcage veil and a unique, dried bouquet of pussy willows, astrid, wheat, baby’s breath, silver coins, and status with the wrapped stems adorned with a gorgeous Victorian ivory broach.

First look, details, wedding and bridal party photos were made here before moving over to Mars Hill Church for the ceremony and family formals. As a relatively recent acquisition in the Mars Hill family, the church needs some TLC and is currently under renovation. Some of the pocked walls upstairs proved to be an excellent backdrop for making artistic modern wedding photos of the bride and groom.

Our final stop of the day was the amazing Century Ballroom, currently one of my favorite Seattle wedding and reception venues. The hardwood floors surrounded by the mezzanine and stage provide unique opportunities for any party or celebration. Neenah + Andy’s was no different with some truly moving speeches by the best man, father of the groom and father of the bride.

A testimonial from the beautiful bride..

Oh let me just start by saying THANK YOU!
