Emily and Jeff had a beautiful day for their wedding at the Woodmark Hotel in Kirkland. The sun was shining, the lake was beautiful, and the couple wasn’t too bad, either! A couple of my favorite wedding vendors were there in the form of DJ Austin Beaver, officiant Annemarie Juhlian and Janel of Ocassions. I also got to work with Flora Nova!

This is a guest book I created for Emily and Jeff from their engagement portraits.

Emily's dad gets the award for best (and perhaps longest) father of the bride speech!

Emily is a teacher, which makes the little chalkboard chair signs perfect for them!

This image cracks me up. Emily's maid of honor managed to out-wrestle the competition for the bouquet.

I’ve been thinking for quite some time that I wanted to start featuring vendors that I have worked with and that my clients have been pleased with. I just sent out a survey to my clients and got back quite a few vendor referrals for them. As luck would have it, Kendra from Loves Me Flowers was on the list, and she contacted me this week for some images for her portfolio and website. This coincidence leads to the first vendor feature on the Cory Parris Photography blog. And without further ado, hear are some images of the work that Loves Me Flowers has done for a couple of my past clients.

The first set are from Elyssa and Caleb’s wedding in December 2007 at Willow’s Lodge.

This is a gorgeous winter centerpiece

The second set is from summer 2008 at the Tyee Yacht Club, or sometimes called the Yacht Club at Lake Union.

The summer flower bouquet is from Billy and Sandy's wedding this last summer.

The man's flower. I really liked this.

Look at this mass of flower petals! Beautiful.
