Happy July 4th! And A Big Holiday Weekend For Elopements in Seattle!

4th of July is a crazy good weekend in Seattle for elopements!

Over the weekend, I met Brian and Sarah on Alki Beach for their vows and made my way to Tacoma for Glen and Sharon's wedding ceremony on Ruston Way.

Last night, just before the fireworks I'll be in Ballard to make sure Lenny and Sarah are hitched in style!

If you are planning a holiday elopement in Seattle - perhaps thinking about Labor Day - plan early. Hotel rooms are at a premium and if you need a permit for a special park, making plans around this sooner than later is smart!
