oh happy day...

it was the happiest day!

emma + merritt got married the first weekend in september and i finally had the chance to put the post together.

it was one of those times i will never forget. it was real, it was joyous, it was rich. it was perfectly expressive of who they are...together.

the wedding was on whidbey island, washington, which is an island just off of seattle in puget sound, and it is where emma's parents live. with gorgeous views and brisk winds blowing off the ocean, fresh seafood with each turn, and sunrises and sunsets that make your heart melt, whidbey is a place where you quickly get comfortable. emma's family makes it even more comfortable.

there wasn't a detail overlooked from the fabulous save-the-dates and invitations, to the vintage bike, to the burlap table runners and homemade jam adorned with a colorful array of vintage feeling fabrics for each guest to take with them.

it came as no surprise as emma is quite the creative type...she works in seattle for a press + bindery company called good stock, and helps design custom books that tell family's stories.

the rain held off, the clouds finally lightened and emma + merritt enjoyed the happy day! it is truly special to watch your brother be with someone that makes him so happy. love is a beautiful thing, and this was a beautiful day.

xoxo

elle.
