shanette + drew | seattle destination wedding

When I first talked to Drew and Shanette about their wedding, I think I just laughed as they described their wedding. Too awesome. Here is a couple that has such a sweet love story. They decided they were going to get married on a farm outside Seattle, Washington. They wanted it to be simple, natural, and all about people. This is definitely who they are.  While I was “hanging out” all throughout college, these two were in the mission field serving others. Most of their guests flew into Seattle from all over the country, including Hawaii, where Shanette grew up. They all came because they truly love this couple. It’s so easy to see why, too. They are so good, so sweet, and so selfless. Their wedding was amazing. It rained the previous 3-4 days before the wedding and cleared up to be a sunny beautiful day in one of the prettiest parts of Washington. Just beautiful. I’m just so happy I got to part of it all and wish everyone could meet these two. They’re just amazing people. Thank you so much Drew and Shanette for letting me be part of your day!!

What a special, special day this was. I've been excited about their wedding since we first met. When I asked Halie what she wanted her wedding to be, she said "I want it to be a big party!". It was. It was magnificently so. It was so much fun. The wedding party was huge, energetic, and hilarious. Halie and Zach's energy was contagious. The band, Project 7, was one of the best I've ever seen. And the best part? It was just as sweet as it was fun. There was one point in the evening that I had to wipe a tear so I didn't miss a shot! I've known Halie's family a long time, but I was so glad to get to know them better this last year.  The thing I love the most about this family is the absolutely selfless and sacrificial way they love and support each other, something I pray I can model for my own kids. Pretty remarkable. Zach's family was fantastic and such a pleasure to be around on that great day as well. I felt so lucky to be a part of it all. Thank you so much Zach and Halie for making us a part of your big day!
