A Sweet & Intimate Wedding Ceremony At The Woodmark Hotel In Kirkland, WA

The Woodmark Hotel is a wonderful boutique hotel and offers a couple a gorgeous location for a small & intimate wedding ceremony.

On a gorgeous day earlier this month, it was my pleasure to share in Wade & Jessica's wedding ceremony waterside on Lake Washington.

With their parents and two close friends at their side, Wade & Jessica exchanged vows - a few laughs - a few tears - and created a lifetime moment.

Wade & Jessica - how fortunate am I to know you and share in the happiness from your wedding day!

911 Elopement - Gas Works Park - "Hello, Annemarie?"

You know what makes me crazy?

An Officiant who cancels on a couple at the last minute and/or just disappears - especially for an elopement!

I was delighted to marry Shannon and Joe at a moment's notice this past Thursday afternoon. They were to be married earlier in the day in Tacoma and their Officiant was a 'no show.'

Happily, I was able to meet them at Gasworks Parks for an impromptu ceremony - complete with 5 thrilled witnesses.

I love Gasworks Park for an elopement - it's a contemporary park with lots of picturesque vistas and easy/free parking!
