Bainbridge Island ferry wedding | Christa & Jake

As we were walking back to the ferry to head back to Seattle, I was walking right in front of Christa and Jake. They were just chatting to each other and with all the joy you can imagine, Christa said to him, “Today was so much better than we could have hoped.” It’s true. This day that they planned full of creativity, spontaneity, controlled chaos, and intimacy could not have been a better celebration for these two. From Jake bursting into tears during their first look to the couple being invited to be the first on to the ferry to a rooftop reception with friends from around the country (everyone so thankful for vaccines bringing us all together again) and beyond that, they got to see whales on the trip home. You read that right, WHALES!

In all, it was a day that felt a little bit like a fairytale, or maybe better put, a ferry-tail.

Thank you so much to Christa and Jake for letting me be a part of this celebration. It was unforgettable. Thank you as well to Cameron Catering, the Fletcher Bay Winery and the Washington State Ferries for all you did to help make this day flow!
