Kristi and Sam were married at Top of the Market, a beautiful event venue overlooking the sound nestled in Pike Place Market. It was a small, intimate affair with some unique touches.

I had never been to Hotel 1000 before, where Kristi got ready for the evening with her family and friends. Here she is taking a moment to relax before jumping into it all.

The lady has great taste in shoes:

Kristi looooves smurfs. Her handbag and matching wallet are testament. They used the same blue for their color scheme and favors.

Her friend from college applies liner as the ladies look on

She snuck up behind Sam in Post Alley:

Sam and his nephew broke it down to the Beastie Boy’s Brass Monkey at the reception:

The boy took it from there!

These images were a ton of fun to revisit during the editing process. So much so that I’m not even done blogging them. Check back in a couple days for some disco dance action!

Thank you, Kristi and Sam for allowing me to be a part of your wedding day. I wish you a long, happy life together!

Ann Wood handmakes her caketoppers from vintage fabrics and can custom make yours if you’d like something to match your style. Robin and I had her craft a pair of cotton lovebirds in autumn shades for our wedding and they now have a prominent place in our living room. The birds are respositionable and held in place by a light magnet in the base of the topper. Or, you can stand them directly on top of your cake – free-basing, if you will. Ha! i’m such a dork.

She’ll be adding new non-caketopper singles to her etsy shop this Friday at 12pm (Pacific). They get gobbled up quick so act fast if you want one.
