Margaret & Cyrus : Fremont Abbey Wedding
My hula hoopin couple tied the knot! Margaret & Cyrus are a sweet couple with a great sense of humor. Margaret runs a blog & Etsy shop called Puncontrollable (As you know, I like big puns and I cannot lie!). Cyrus works at the best radio station on the planet, KEXP, where Margaret was volunteering answering phones for a membership drive when they met. Yup, they’re rad.
Margaret had this incredible bouquet of dahlias and on our way to meet Cyrus, we drove past this dahlia flower patch. I did a quick u-turn and we jumped out of the car for this shot.
The ceremony and reception were held at the Fremont Abbey Arts Center.
KEXP video guru, Scott Holpainen, set up a video confessional on site, which was used as the pre-ceremony dress rehearsal room.
Funky dancing!
Congratulations Margaret & Cyrus! If you ever decide to renew your vows, aisle be there. heh.
Leslie & Larry’s Capitol Hill Engagement Session
Leslie & Larry are not only lovebirds, they’re bandmates. They make up half of Seattle band the Redwood Plan. I’ve been following Leslie since the earrrrly days of Ms. Led, so when she asked for an engagement session, I threw a little sign of the horns their way over the interwebs. Rock on.
Ruffled Blog Feature
Matthew & Danette are up on Ruffled Blog in two parts. Read how they DiY’d their wedding.
Novelty Hill – Januik Winery Wedding : Danette & Matthew
Danette & Matthew were married in Woodinville at the Novelty Hill – Januik Winery. So much creativity in these two. Seattle indie craft locals might recognize Matthew from his I Heart Rummage days. His new venture, Guernica, has him creating intricate handmade displays and food for fun, offbeat events. They of course designed everything here themselves, straight down to the spice rub favors. Mmmm.
Mad love for these two.
Shout out to DJ Leslie from Seattle Parties for the rockin reception beats!
Seattle People: New Year’s Resolutions
I hit up Capitol Hill this weekend, collecting people’s New Year’s resolutions for the Seattle Weekly again (see last year’s here).
Gabriel resolved to play more this year and insisted on writing down his resolution himself. Pretty good for a five year old!
I caught this crew on their way to Value Village.
Ben’s resolution to not give his heart away again makes me a bit sad. You probably won’t be seeing Calvin on Facebook as much this year.
Lee plans to live up to his last name.
I’d like to sign up for all three of these.
Dun dun!
I have a number of professional goals in store for 2010, but my personal resolution is to revisit my childhood and sign up for a dance class. It’s the closest thing to working out I feel I can manage and like Bryan Adams sings, there ain’t no place I’d rather be when I’m dancin. (What – you don’t know the lyrics to the second song off Reckless?)
So, what’s in store for you this year?

You’ve seen the teasers and their coverage on Brooklyn Bride, now Jess & Chris’ wedding is finally making the blog.

About six months later I got the call that it was Jess & Chris’ turn. Much happy dancing followed. I love these two.

Ryan & Danielle
Remember when I told you that my cousins and I used to deform our bodies with the mirror in my aunt’s house? Well I was there this weekend and was able to introduce the crazy fun to my cousin Greg’s two kids, Ryan & Danielle. As you can see, they picked it up right away.
