a wedding at the fairmont olympic hotel – jay and ken!
jay and ken’s wedding at the fairmont olympic hotel was a class act – multiple class acts to be exact! we started our day with this wonderful couple hanging out with their friends in their suite signing documents and having a toast before we heading out for some photo fun…
the luly yang store was giving a nod to the SCOTUS decision on federal marriage equality which had happened just the day before (amazing timing!) this was also the beginning of our summer “heat wave” – we were only outside for a short time but it was a hot one for sure…
they had custom suits made for the occasion – i love the touch of adding the date inside…
when you walked into the garden room, you were amazed at all of the beauty and performances of all sorts happening around you…
a string quartet in one corner…
the amazing sam day in another corner creating a scene that incorporated the entire day…
typing explosion – these three gals (completely silent), typing poetry on the spot for each and every guest…
lots of yummy food and drink by the classy fairmont staff…
the dance troupe, rainbow fletcher, did a silent and almost slow motion dance that carried out through the pre-ceremony cocktail hour – very cool to see this movement throughout the room while people were laughing and chatting around them…
to begin the ceremony, an opera singer started to sing and the room immediately fell silent to her voice…
their floral installation above them was so intricate – like a futuristic bamboo explosion…
kenny’s sister officiated for them…
everyone was invited to tie a string around the wrist of the person next to them as a type of hand fasting…
jay and ken offered beautiful necklaces to their daughters to make them an integral part of their ceremony…so sweet
the dinner hours were filled with more typing explosion, wonderful music, sweet toasts and sam day’s painting coming to life…
the party REALLY got started when rainbow fletcher hit the dance floor again – they had a super fun performance that literally brought everyone on the floor – what a GREAT way to start a killer dance party!!
bnick with bamboo beats kept that energy at full tilt!
