Brittney and Matt's wedding at the Kodiak Room in Tenino, Washington, is the greatest example of how a little Pacific Northwest rain can't dampen love and celebration. Starting with the quintessential drizzle of the day, it only helped to heighten the coziness, the laid-back vibe—perfect for this couple's style. With everything one might need for an easy, seamless, and altogether intimate celebration, this venue was an all-in-one gem. With a naturally lit bridal suite and a groom's room in the basement with a pool table, it was a place where both preparation and relaxation were perfectly in sync.
Brittney looked absolutely stunning in her drop-shoulder gown, made even more impressive by the fact that she had welcomed a baby into the world not long before. Matt and his groomsmen totally nailed the classic PNW look with flannels and jeans, adding just a hint of rugged charm to the day. Brittney carried sola wood flowers that added a timeless and eco-friendly touch to the decoration of the wedding. The ceremony space was decorated with string lights and a flower-covered altar in such a way that it felt quite intimate and romantic.
The weather, though rainy, did turn in time for Brittney and Matt to make their first look and take some portraits at a nearby park. All in all, the setting made the mood perfect for showing off their connection among the lush greenery the Pacific Northwest so uniquely has to offer. From there, an emotionally filled, heartfelt ceremony ended with good wishes and love from close family and friends. While they transformed from ceremony space into the reception area, I took them outside for some fun portraits with Matt's motorcycle—a very unique touch showing their personalities.
The reception was warm and inviting, filled with a scrumptious buffet meal, and oh, that amazing dessert table—everybody just had to go for seconds. With the heartfelt speeches given by loved ones, Brittney and Matt shared a beautiful first dance that reflected perfectly the love and commitment they shared. As the night went on, the dancing continued with the newlywed couple keeping the dance floor filled surrounded by their friends and family. It was an honor to capture the special day for Brittney and Matt at The Kodiak Room. I wish them both happiness in this new chapter of life.
