same sex seattle wedding ~ seattle yacht club ~ mary & monica

same sex seattle wedding at yacht club jenny gg 001

mary and monica…such an amazing couple and such an amazing story…they contacted me a year ago about their wedding on 12/8 and i thought they were awesome and totally stoked to be their photographer.  cut to our governor signing same sex marriage into law, the pesky voting process and then boom – wedding licenses were being issued on 12/6 with a 3-day waiting period.  how cool then for monica and mary to get married at 5 p.m. on 12/8 and then again and LEGALLY at 12:01 on 12/9?!  super cool i tell you…

    Hi from Australia. This looked like an amazing wedding. The brides looked beautiful and I love their dresses. They also looked so much in love. The size of the bridal party was impressive, never seen anything like that. Overall, it looked brilliant. Congratulations to the both of you.

    This is truly the most beautiful thing in the world….I can not wait until Britain legalises Marriage so when I meet the love of my life I can marry her and to not have people tell me it’s not legal….
