Engaged couple, Arlina and Emmanuel, got an amazing chance to practice for their real-life wedding with this inspired whimsical wedding at the Ruins in Seattle, Washington. The Ruins has been called Seattle’s Best Kept Secret. This place is an eclectic mix of art and architecture, with each room full of different colors and decor, truly a treat for the senses. Florist, Karrie Campbell, kept the arrangements neutral with creams and greenery so as not to compete with the diverse furnishings. The three-tier lace textured cake by A Pinch of Fun, fit right in with the old-world feel of the venue.
Groom-to-be Emmanuel took a minute to sit down at the piano and tickle the ivories, much to everyone’s enjoyment. Arlina’s dress from Brides for a Cause in Tacoma featured a subtle pinstripe, which was perfectly accented with the glow from the chandeliers and candles.

WOW… I do not know where to start! I did not know Lessie before our photoshoot but I am so glad to have met her and chosen her to capture our engagement pictures! She was so easy to communicate with and so so helpful from start to finish. I am absolutely obsessed with the photos she captured of my fiancé and I! Not only do the photos look beyond amazing but our experience with her throughout the photoshoot was out of this world! She is extremely talented and was amazing at capturing natural and real moments!

Lessie is an amazing photographer. We could not be happier with our wedding photos. I love that she included many unique shots that I wouldn't have thought of but that I really love. Also, along with the photos of my husband and me and photos of both sides of the bridal party, she captured many of the wonderful smaller moments and details that are hard to notice amidst the busy-ness of the wedding day. We loved seeing those smaller details and the candid photos of friends and family as well. They're all very special to us.
