Jessie and Josh at Rose Hill in Mukilteo<\/h1>\n

Jessie and Josh were married on May 21 at the Rose Hill Community Center<\/a> in Mukilteo, a very nice (and also quite\u00a0new) venue that overlooks the Mukilteo beach and ferry dock. \u00a0I met Jessie in 2012\u00a0when she was a bridesmaid at the\u00a0wedding of\u00a0Jessie and David Sterling, and I was very happy when she and Josh contacted me about photographing their wedding.<\/p>\n

Jessie and Josh are hard-core world travelers, having visited 6 countries in the past 4 years, and I don’t think that counts their honeymoon which was spent in Cambodia. \u00a0I am\u00a0looking forward to seeing the photos they post from their honeymoon trip, too bad they didn’t need a full-time photographer to accompany them! \u00a0\ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n

The day began with the wedding party getting dressed at Rose Hill, where I met up with them for a few dressing room photos. \u00a0Once Jessie and Josh were ready, we set up a “first look” for the two of them just outside the center. \u00a0It had been fairly wet all morning, but by the time we started the photos things had improved and all we had was an occasional light drizzle.<\/p>\n

After we finished the first look photos, I drove Jessie and Josh down the hill so we could take some photos on the beach, and at the historic Mukilteo Lighthouse. \u00a0The weather continued to cooperate, with no worse than what I would describe as “spitting”. \u00a0Because the weather was less than perfect, we had most of the beach to ourselves, and spent some time taking photos just with Jessie and Josh. \u00a0We were soon joined by the rest of the wedding party, and after some beach photos we moved to the lighthouse to get some shots there as well. \u00a0We got lucky and only had to wait a short time before the soon-to-be-married couple\u00a0was able to climb to the top of the lighthouse so we could get the\u00a0photos we wanted.<\/p>\n

Then it was back up the hill to Rose Hill for the ceremony. \u00a0Because the weather was still a bit iffy, Jessie and Josh had decided to hold the ceremony indoors. \u00a0The great thing about Rose Hill is that there are HUGE windows in the main room, and the extra elevation of the room gives\u00a0a great view out over Puget Sound as a backdrop, actually better than if held on the lawn. \u00a0So in some ways it is actually a better place for a ceremony than outdoors.<\/p>\n

The ceremony went perfectly, and we soon had some brand-new newlyweds! \u00a0\u00a0We then dragged EVERYONE in attendance outdoors so I could get a group shot of the whole bunch, as well as some shots of both Jessie’s and Josh’s extended families.<\/p>\n
