It was an honor to photograph the wedding of two of the kindest, most committed, and genuinely awesome people!  I remember leaving their engagement session thinking, “these guys have something special – commitment and patience.”   It felt like their wedding was a celebration of these two pillars, and it was a time for friends and family to celebrate love… and a celebration it was!  The energy was incredible, and they were surrounded by so much love.

The Arctic Club in Downtown Seattle is a beautiful wedding venue. It used to be a gathering place for the men who returned from the Yukon Gold rush after “striking it rich.” The main room contains a giant gold dome ceiling, which created a special ambiance for Sean and Jono’s wedding ceremony.

 

 

 

 

 

The dancing and celebrating Baraat started at opposite corners of the Arctic Club in downtown Seattle, and moved towards the front entrance.  There was so much energy as the family & friends from each side danced to the loud beating Indian drum (called a Dhol).  This first ceremony set a fun tone for the evening to follow.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Sean and Jono were surrounded by their closest friends and family as they signed their marriage certificate.  During their engagement session, Jono told me  “…we waited a long time for this”  and I could hear those words during the signing. it made me appreciate and respect their resilience and dedication to each other.
