Sequim Washington ~Dana and Steve’s No Stress Love Fest~ Destination Wedding Photographer

Sequim Washington ~Dana and Steves No Stress Love Fest~  Destination Wedding Photographer Dana & Steve’s Destination Wedding Va Wedding Photography.  Dana and I have known each other since we were Freshmen in college.  We lived in the same dorm at West Virginia University, and quickly became friends.  She has always been the life of the party and full of fun.  I always looked up to her confidence, her fly by the seat of her pants attitude and ability to make anything more interesting.  After college, Dana moved to the West Coast.  Needless to say, we don’t see each other as much as I would like anymore.  She met Steve,  several years ago, and they hit it off.  He is a great fit for Dana.  He is easy-going, full of smiles and hugs and a really huge heart!  I loved Documenting their Destination Wedding.

Dana and Steve were actually married last year in St John, Virgin Islands, while visiting Dana’s Sister Jamie.  Jamie is an ordained minister, and when Steve unexpectedly popped the question on their vacation, Dana said Let’s do it now!  Jamie was happy to marry her Sister and Steve on the beautiful island, but they didn’t want their friends to miss out on the love they have to share.  If you have never been to the Northwest Coast of Washington, I highly recommend it.  Not only is the scenery spectacular, but the people are super friendly and the food is phenomenal.  Steve’s Brother Joe and Sister-in-Law Kathy were so kind to open up their gorgeous Sequim, Washington farm to 100 guests to camp out and witness Dana and Steve’s vow renewal.  Jay and I were honored to be invited and were so happy to see Dana again and to finally meet Steve.   Thanks you both for having us and to your Brother and Sister-in-Law for the hospitality.  We had an AMAZING time!

Sequim is known for its gorgeous views and lavender farms
