Kara & Mark’s Blueberry Farm Wedding

Kara told me she wanted me to photograph her wedding long before she was even engaged, so of course, knowing Kara I anxiously awaited the ensuing proposal and wedding planning! To start with…the wedding was taking place in North Bend, Washington and then Kara told me they were getting married at the Bybee Nims Blueberry Farm at the foot of Mt. Si and that she was either making everything herself or thrifting. And I couldn’t wait. Kara said, “We tried to make every element of our wedding reflect our personalities and who we are as a couple.” And in everything they did they accomplished that. Kara’s wedding dress and jewelry were both from JCrew and she found the perfect accessory at a thrift store-her boots! And just so you can get a little glimpse into Kara’s creativity-her bouquet and the bridesmaids bouquets were all handmade by her out of sewing patterns purchased at Goodwill. And to top it all off this was a very special wedding because it was family (Kara is my husband’s cousin) so that made it even all the better! Here is the first part of their wedding day…stay tuned for more of Kara’s touches in the next post featuring their wedding reception!
