The girls started out their day getting their hair done at this rockin’ little hair salon called “The Hair Station” that is attached t—are you ready for this?—a GAS STATION. So cool.

Hey, Tomi, you’re so “stuck up!” Just kidding.

Tomi’s sister stopped to look at some celeb mags (a total secret obsession of mine), and stopped on this page with (heartthrob!) Seth Green:

Tomi decided to have her make-up done at the MAC counter in the Alderwood Mall. She wasn’t the only one with that idea—I couldn’t believe how many brides were there doing the same! Even more surprising though was that I was the only photographer there. Oh well, at least I didn’t have to compete with other people’s flashes going off!

Tomi’s make-up artist was so nice and funny. It was a pleasure to watch her work.

Tomi and her sister…

Just look at all that love in her eyes…

Okay, so Nikki gave the best toast EVER. It was so funny and interesting. This woman could have a career in public speaking! Seriously, she knew how to keep an audience’s attention. I think the best part was when she was reading from the paper and she said, “Tomi is so nice, sweet, caring, loving, talented, pretty…hey, Tomi, what’s it say here? I can’t read your writing.”

Tomi and Kevin adopted three little kittens this summer, and they were all about two months old at the wedding. So cute…and just the right size to go home with guests as a wedding favor!

Talk about chemistry, look at them sizzle!

Snohomish, WA: Tomi and Kevin…where do I begin? I’ve known Tomi for almost a year now because she and Holly (my partner) used to work together. When it came time for Tomi to start planning her wedding, she called and asked me to be her photographer! Heck yeah!

The couple recently purchased a house on five acres up in Snohomish, and they decided to turn their housewarming into a wedding by having the ceremony and reception LITERALLY in their own backyard. How cool is that? It made the whole event feel very homey and comfortable. I think the best part of the ceremony was that Tomi and Kevin ad-libbed through some of the serious parts and kept cracking eachother up. You can see some of that in the slideshow, below.

Thanks, Tomi and Kevin, for including me in your day!
