Something must have stood out about my Seattle Courthouse Wedding photos though and I am honored and happy to have anyone hear about me any possible way, because I absolutely love the chance to serve people well as a wedding photographer!<\/p>\n<p>These two are from the UK, so at our first coffee meet-up at <a href=\"https:\/\/storyville.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Storyville (in Pike Place)<\/a>, <strong>I let them hear my awesome British accent and they both cringed, &#8220;oh, that&#8217;s really bad Char. Like, really bad.&#8221;<\/strong> Secretly I think that&#8217;s why they hired me, because anytime I spoke in my (brilliant) British accent, they laughed, so it ended up making for some great photos! \ud83d\ude42 Laura and Dan wanted to get as far from a traditional wedding as possible; a document signed, sealed, (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.seattle.gov\/courts\/programs-and-services\/marriage-ceremonies\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Seattle Courthouse Wedding<\/a>) and an afternoon\/evening stroll through downtown Seattle to solidify what they had already committed to (they&#8217;ve been together for 10 years). Another side note, they told me they weren&#8217;t fond of getting their photo taken, and I assured them they would be fine. (I cannot tell you <em>how many people\u00a0<\/em>tell me they are not photogenic and if you scroll below, you&#8217;ll find that&#8217;s absolutely <em>not<\/em> the case for these two).<\/p>\n<p><strong>What a blast! Laura specifically mentioned to me they wanted those in between moments captured,<\/strong> with the lines of people waiting to elope, the awkward moments in the waiting room, etc, so I snapped away (scroll down to see what I found). We also walked down to the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.smithtower.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Smith Tower<\/a> and enjoyed a couple drinks at the top in the newly renovated <a href=\"https:\/\/www.smithtower.com\/observatory-and-bar.php\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Observation Deck<\/a> (feels like a speak-easy!) I was honored to be a part of their special moment, and it felt pretty easy since Laura and Dan made me feel like a part of their extended British family (minus the accent). \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n<p><img
