Abel Married Annie

"We're local and a little nerdy, and our family and friends love us too much to let us get away with eloping." That was Annie in her introductory e-mail to me, nearly nine months ago, and I'm glad she and her then-fiancé-now-husband Abel didn't just run off and get hitched by themselves. Otherwise, I wouldn't've been able to shoot their gorgeous Seattle wedding day, which started on the 31st floor of the Sheraton downtown, progressed to Pioneer Square and the waterfront for photos—including a stop in front of the office building where they first met—and ended at intimate Melrose Market Studios on Capitol Hill for the ceremony, reception, and a long night of dancing. It was a pleasure getting to know these two—their dry humor, their excitement talking about the details of the day, their clear love for one another—and I hope we get to cross paths again.
