Seattle Wedding Photographer | Mel & Justin’s Outdoor Wedding | Robinswood House, Bellevue

Rounded paper lanterns and twinkle lights lit a glow above Melissa, Justin and their three tier cake. Justin’s eyes curved upwards with his super sized smile. The bride dressed in a modern, delicately cut dress designed by Alfred Angelo squeezed the hand of her new husband. Under marshmallow stars of light and a leaning moon the newlyweds looked into a polka dot crowd of friends and loved ones. And then, in a moment of silence the crowd broke into a spontaneous song. Sung in pitch-perfect unison, with an airy likeness reminiscent of teenagers the belly deep sound rang about the backyard of the Robinswood House. “When the moon hits your eye like a big pizza pie– that’s amore– when the world seems to shine like you’ve had too much wine–that’s amore.” And the groom went in for a vanilla frosting kiss, the crowd cheered like Griffey hit a homer and I felt a surge of love-filled energy only impromptu, unplanned moments like these can create. Mel & Justin said to me, “Chantal we want you to be as creative as you can be.” When two clients-turned-friends trust me like this, I really believe some of the most beautiful images can be made. I truly loved photographing every bit of this wedding. Cheers to two absolutely beautiful people Melissa & Justin!

    Beautiful work! I especially like your black and whites.
    Your bride looks like she could be a fashion model (or a ballerina).
