Happy First Wedding Anniversary Shannon and Kevin!

It is hard for me to believe that an entire year has passed since the fantastic destination wedding of Shannon Buckham and Kevin Stewart at Bellingham’s Marine Park and Cruise Terminal, held on September 3, 2017.  Or as their friends called it, the “Buckwart Wedding”!  🙂  You can visit my original posting of the wedding (which includes a LOT of photos from the entire day) by clicking on the link above.

I want get get in links to the two separate parts of the wedding; first off the ceremony site at Marine Park, and second the reception site at the Bellingham Cruise Terminal.  These locations are located several hundred yards apart along the shoreline on Bellingham Bay, and make a fantastic combination for a wedding celebration.  This was my first time doing a ceremony at Marine Park, and I just loved it!  I always like a good outdoor wedding venue (at least when the weather cooperates), and the layout of Marine Park gave us wonderful photo opportunities for photos along the beach with Kevin and Shannon, as well as with their wedding party and families.  And the location of the actual ceremony gave a fantastic view out over the bay as the backdrop to the ceremony; hard NOT to love that as a photographer!

But what I liked the most about this wedding was the rather zany group of friends of Kevin and Shannon, who kept the party operating at a very high level for the entire evening.  When it was finally time for me to leave, the reception still had some time to run.  So they helped me stage a fake good-bye to Shannon and Kevin on the big staircase inside the Terminal, with lots of bubbles being blown at the newlyweds as they made their way down the steps.  In fact, they enjoyed it so much that we did the good-bye several times, each one accompanied by much laughter as the bride and groom were showered with bubbles!

So clickon the link above so you can see all that happened, it will be worth your time!
