The Venue

We had the pleasure of capturing a beautiful fall wedding in Yakima, Washington for Alissa and Tim. The ceremony took place at the historic Grace of Christ Church, where the bride and groom exchanged their vows surrounded by family and friends. This stunning historic church was the perfect Yakima wedding venue for the couple to tie the knot. Its grand architecture and rich history reminded us of Hogwarts, creating a magical atmosphere for celebration.

Special details

Included in their details as a nod to their favorite trilogy, The Lord of the Rings, was a bouquet reminiscent of Arwen's ethereal grace adorned with the Evenstar Pendant Arwen gifted Aragorn in The Fellowship of the Ring. Tim’s details also included the king’s broken sword as a tie clip. And in place of a traditional floral boutonniere, Tim and his groomsmen wore elven leaf brooches.

The Reception

After the ceremony, the celebration continued at the Yakima Convention Center. The reception was a lively affair, with music, dancing, and delicious food. The Yakima Convention Center made for a wonderful wedding reception space providing a black tie ballroom feel. Perfectly complimenting the classy and timeless theme of the couple’s special day.

Golden hour at the Arboretum

As the sun began to set, we made our way to the Yakima Arboretum for some stunning sunset wedding photos. Even though it rained most of the day we got lucky with a vibrant golden pink sunset - the perfect way to end our time together and create timeless images that they will cherish forever.

Being able to document such a special day for Alissa and Tim was such an honor. As a Yakima wedding Photographer and Videographer, we strive to capture all the emotions and moments that make each wedding and couple unique. This fall wedding was no exception, and we are grateful to have been a part of it!
