Matt & Stephanie | Orcas Island Wedding

stephanie & matt
Gabe and I recently had the opportunity to photograph Stephanie & Matt’s wedding on Orcas Island in the San Juan Islands. Hitting the end of our ferry ride, we set out for our destination, the Outlook Inn. You might recognize them from our Bellevue Engagement Session that we shot two weeks before the wedding!

Stephanie and Matt have been completely enjoyable to work with, so it was fun to meet their family and friends. It was easy to tell that the couple is well loved by their guests.

Regardless of the fact that it poured most of the day, their wedding was charmingly beautiful and clearly just as meaningful.

  5. Hey Fellas, your photos are beautiful. I’m re-living the wonderful evening, what a fun time…my Sergio looks hot!! Can’t wait to see all the photos you took…you should have one of me and Sergio in our white robes. Oh Stephie & Matt - wonderful memories…thank you!

  6. I’m surprised the camera shutter was able to capture Uncle Sergio, he’s such a crazzzy dancer! My favorite photo was the Bride entering the chapel. Shout out to all our Wedding weekend friends. We had so much fun from 6 am to 1 am each day on Orcas it took me a week to recover! The Wedding top off a weekend filled with fun at the BBQ, kayaking, karaoke “she’s in love with the boy”, singing Bohemian Rhapsody all the from the Tavern to the Outlook Inn and the night cap at Vern’s. Thanks again Melinda! All your hard work made for a awesome weekend just like Stephanie and Matt wanted.
