Seattle Wedding Photography – Miriah and Roemon get married at the Lake Union Cafe<\/h1>\n

On December 27, 2016 Miriah Maher and Roemon Field were married at the Lake Union Cafe<\/a> in Seattle. \u00a0Miriah is a student and had done all of her communicating with me by email or phone, so I had never met either her or Roemon until the day of the wedding. \u00a0Crazy how things are now, but this is the case in ~20% of all the weddings I photograph these days.<\/p>\n

The Lake Union Cafe is a very cool and quite unique venue, and\u00a0has been one of my favorite Seattle wedding venues since I first photographed a wedding there ~25 years ago. \u00a0Built in 1920, it features a beautiful wood dance floor that is also used to seat guests for wedding ceremonies. \u00a0A small stage at one end of the dance floor works well as the altar. \u00a0Tables and booths surround the dance floor, and the mirrored walls and wonderful lights make the facility feel much larger than it really is. \u00a0Downstairs is a large and well-lit bridal dressing room, and the guys also have their own space as well, though nowhere near as nice as the ladies get. \u00a0Grooms just get no respect! \u00a0\ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n

I met Miriah and\u00a0her bridesmaids just before they were ready to get dressed, and had fun getting some shots of the ladies and the flower girl, who happens to be Miriah’s daughter. \u00a0Miriah and Roemon did not want to see each other before the ceremony, so I bounced back and forth between the two dressing rooms, as well as getting some shots of the family and guests as they arrived at the Cafe.<\/p>\n

It wasn’t long before it was time for everyone to head upstairs and line up for the processional, and the wedding was underway. \u00a0The ceremony went beautifully, and a short time later Miriah and Roemon were officially married.<\/p>\n

Once the ceremony was completed, the guests were moved back to the front lobby for drinks and appetizers while the staff turned the room. \u00a0I grabbed the wedding party and family so we could get a few posed shots before dinner. \u00a0Not an easy proposition as all of the guests were\u00a0excited to greet the newlyweds, and\u00a0many of those I needed for photos wanted to grab some food. \u00a0But we managed to get everyone together long enough for the critical photos.<\/p>\n

Dinner was fantastic, and as the guests were finishing their meals the first dance for the newlyweds began, followed by the father\/daughter and mother\/son dances. \u00a0Then the dance floor was opened up to everyone and the party really got underway! \u00a0This was a hard-core dancing crowd, and once the dancing got started the floor was very busy\u00a0until the party finally came to an end.<\/p>\n

All in all this was a very fun wedding, with one of the best dancing groups I have worked with. \u00a0Pretty funny, but this past year I have had more really good dancing groups than I have had in years! \u00a0Everyone in attendance obviously had a great time, and would have happily stayed longer if they could!<\/p>\n

Photos from the wedding and reception follow. I think I got a bit carried away, but there were just too many good photos to share\u00a0and I didn’t want to leave any out<\/p>\n
