WASHINGTONIANS - There are three library levy measures on the ballot in next Tuesday’s statewide election to benefit @snoislelibraries , @seattlepubliclibrary , and @spokanecountylibrary. All are labeled as Prop 1 on their ballots, all fund core library operations, all are to renew or restore funding, and all need a simple majority to pass.

Libraries do a lot more than lend books. They offer free access to internet, computers, and wifi. They teach people how to use email, write resumes, and apply for jobs. They build community. As a mom, I regularly attended storytime with my kid, and we go every three weeks to re-up on books to meet summer reading goals. Did you know that our libraries offer help with homework, online tutoring for students, and adult literacy classes? Tax prep assistance, meeting rooms to reserve. All of these are free to us regardless of income, background, or immigration status. When funding is cut, branches close, have shorter hours, and fewer staff. The library that raised you can’t do the same for your kids.

Vote YES on Prop 1, and make sure your ballot is postmarked or dropped off by 8pm next Tuesday, 8/4.

Meanwhile, enjoy some photos I made for @snoislelibraries !

Portraits of the dynamos over at Interior Design Studio @charliehellstern including Chief Comfort Officer, Milo! On the site of one of their projects, Vitus’ Belltown HQ. Charlie teamed up with @madebyshore for a branding and website refresh last year. I first connected with Charlie in 2020 for portraits at Loom House on Bainbridge. My stylist @ryannbrady_hmu and I fell in love with her style, humor, and confidence, and it’s been a treat to continue to work together.

Narragansett Bay Wedding : Sara & Matt

11.03.08

Sara & Matt were married on Naragansett Bay in Rhode Island during Hurricane Hanna. I silently hummed the Scorpions while mounting two flashes in the corners of the dance floor, crossing my fingers they wouldn’t be battered by the wind (Apparently I needed to do more than that. I found them on the ground multiple times, despite 25lb sandbags and a ridiculous amount of gaffers tape). The day started out innocently though, with the eye of the storm keeping us half dry for the ceremony, cocktail hour and through the start of their clambake dinner. By the time the wind and rain resumed we were dancing too hard to care. These are my kind of people.

Both Sara & Matt had their wedding attire custom made for them, with Sara in an incredible tea stained Mary Adams creation and Matt in a dapper Addison & Steele suit with purple lining.

With friends Hannah and Leslie before the ceremony.

The lady responsible for bringing all of us together, Jess from Fig and Plum, with her man Chris. They have the adorable expressions down pat.

Friends having fun with the bouquet…

Leslie!

Coffee awaits in the dinner tent.

They donated to Save the Bay in lieu of favors.

Embarrassing toasts are the best

Best name ever.

The bouquet eating man moves onto lobster.

I need a fitting caption for this one. Any takers?

the dancing begins!

and to prove this was really happening during a hurricane:

It was hard to tell what was wet and what was sweat.

Congratulations to Sara & Matt, whose wedding I will not soon forget. I felt so at home with their families and friends. Perhaps we can do it all over again next year? Please?
