Jo and Doug had a classically gorgeous wedding with absolutely hilarious surprises like a Safeway stop mid-shuttle ride back to the venue. It was a seriously fun group who you could tell was just so excited about these two getting married.

One of the great things about the Seattle Tennis Club, other than its incredible views of Lake Washington and the neighboring Bellevue Skyline, is that it hosts only one event per evening, so if there’s an unexpected change of weather there’s always a backup plan. As far as getting ready rooms go, this one was by far one of the most beautiful of my season. Huge windows overlooking the water make for a vacation-feel with beautiful light for photos. The photos of Jo getting into her (OMG fabulous) Sarah Seven dress were some of my favorites.

Advice I’d give to couples or photographers working at the Seattle Tennis Club is to roam around more than you think for photos. There are so many great spots that have a creative feel. I loved taking the groomsmen onto the tennis courts, and later the whole bridal party did a quick session on the dock. But there are beautiful garden areas, too, so you can capture so many different moods.

Here are some of Jo’s highlights of the day!
