Michael and Mary were former co-workers at a bank in the Financial District of San Francisco. Although in different departments, they met and became friends. Their favorite thing to do in the bank was chatting with each other (and looking at cat pictures that Michael sent to Mary almost everyday). To the relief of many, three years later, they became more than just co-workers… Finally!

Shortly there after, a very nervous Michael hatched a plan. A sweet and romantic proposal took place in the tulip garden at Roozengaarde in Mt. Vernon, Washington, complete with a Tiffany & Co. diamond ring.

With just over a year to plan, Michael and Mary got to work! After landing their dream venue, all of the other pieces quickly began to fall into place. Mary’s favorite part was learning all of the different wedding lingo and her most challenging party was getting Michael involved. Like most amazing grooms, he was just happy to see her happy and was willing to make her dreams come true on her wedding day.

Finally the day arrived – and it was perfect. It was a picturesque spring day in the vineyard and the weather could not have been better for their outdoor ceremony. Both Michael and Mary teared up during their vows which were handwritten in little keepsake books. The ballroom was adorned with high/low centerpieces on the tables and a show-stopping 12×12 crystal chandelier above the dance floor. The chandelier was lit with a blush light and provided a romantic and modern feel to the room (along with much needed light for dancing and for our cameras to focus)!

Enjoy!
