St. James Cathedral Wedding: Sophie + Nick

Sophie and Nick got in touch with me to photograph their stateside wedding at St. James Cathedral in Capitol Hill, Seattle, before their big wedding in Dublin the next week. This very intimate wedding was just full of surprises. The first was when we met at Freeway Park for some shots of them before the ceremony. I saw Sophie’s AMAZING jumpsuit and just about jumped over the moon with joy. So unique and so elegant! It was perfect for their cozy Catholic ceremony with family and friends, accompanied by a gorgeous live cello performance. The second, and my favorite, surprise was after the ceremony when we were taking family photos outside the cathedral. Nick snuck away for a second, and a second later reappeared with a BABY BLACK LAB PUPPY!! Tears were everywhere. It was so sweet and she was just the tiniest thing! Sophie was instantly in love with the little bundle of joy, who even got a blessing from their priest! Combine all that with the warm honey light of the chilly Seattle evening, and you’ve got yourself a recipe for romance.
