Renton Church Wedding ~ Leanne & Michael

We first met Leanne & Mike at Michelle & Joe’s wedding earlier this month – it was a quick ‘hello’ and introduction as we continued to photograph the events of the day.  However, I must admit we were immediately struck my Leanne’s beautiful smile and the gentle way Mike looks at her.

Leanne & Mike packed the house at the Trinity Baptist Church in Renton for their recent wedding ceremony.  They filled it with family and friends who traveled not only from out of state but out of country to share in this joyous occasion. 

I felt blessed to have been included and thank them for allowing me to be there to tell the story of their wedding. I left their wedding with such joy – Michael and Leanne just have that effect on you!  Sonny wasn’t available to photograph their wedding so I had Cristina assisting me.  In a few days I will share some additional photos from their wedding from Cristina.

We would love to hear your thoughts … so don’t be shy, leave a comment for us or for Leanne & Mike! Thank you Leanne, Mike, family and friends for allowing us to be a part of this day.

Wayerhaeuser Mansion ~ Michelle & Joe’s wedding photographs

Michelle & Joe had an intimate yet formal wedding/reception at the beautiful and stately Wayerhaeuser Mansion AKA the Northwest Baptist Seminary.  This venue was one of several that has been on my list of desired venues to experience and I was thrilled to have the opportunity before it’s sold.




During our meeting with Michelle, we learned that she met Joe at a Christian singles camp that both considered canceling.  It just proves to me that you never know when or how you will meet the person that fills your life!  I believe they were meant to meet and get married, it was the greater will and we were thrilled to be invited to witness their day.










             Those smiles!  Moments before Michelle’s dad walked her down the aisle.


   The sun shone brightly on Michelle and Joe during the wedding ceremony. 











Just a few of the precious faces that were in attendance at the wedding.  Aren’t they adorable? 








We will be seeing Michelle & Joe again at Leanne & Michael’s wedding in Renton this month, then they will be moving out to Oklahoma.
