Northern Lights Photography has been happily serving Seattle couples for more than 16 years. We have forged so many wonderful friendships with past brides and grooms, as well as other wedding professionals. We’re so grateful for everybody who has touched our lives here in Seattle. So don’t worry, we’re not leaving you!
However, there is another place that is very special to us. Although Eric and I met in the Emerald City, we each previously lived in Texas. Now, we’re excited to be back. That’s right, Austin: we’re home, and you can call us Anthology Photography!
Starting now, we will be photographing weddings both in Seattle and in Austin (as well as continuing to provide destination weddings worldwide). Since we travel for so many of our weddings, anyway, this will be easy for us. The tricky part, will be remembering which name to answer when we pick up the phone…

Mollie and Ken - August 23rd, 2008
August 23, 2008 | Category: Seattle Weddings | 7 Comments
Mollie and Ken were married in the Chinese Room at Smith Tower, after a year and a half of commuting from Seattle to Thousand Oaks, CA to see each other every other weekend! They met while sailboat racing in Santa Barbara, and Mollie knew it was serious when she almost said ‘I love you’ (but caught herself, and smoothly recovered with, “I…. like you a whole lot!”). Luckily, Ken liked her a whole lot, too, and he proposed to her while they were snowboarding in Whistler.
Mollie’s favorite part of the day was the intimate ceremony, officiated by Rabbi Michael Latz. Her beautiful dress was by La Belle Elaine’s Bridal. The flowers were purchased at Pike Place Market, and arranged by Ken’s mother and aunt. Metropolitan Market designed the cake. Joanie’s Catering provided dinner, and the Jazz Unlimited Band provided music.
Leah and Matt - August 22nd, 2008

Leah and Matt were married at Monte Villa Farmhouse on a beautiful day (thankfully!) following a week of heavy rain. They met while working in Harrison Hospital, and began dating. Matt played hard-to-get, and after a while, Leah almost gave up on him… that’s just when things got serious! Soon after, the pair went out for drinks with some married friends. Matt left for a walk to chat with the husband, while Leah joined the wife in getting some air. Leah’s companion suggested checking out a giant decorated Christmas tree, so they walked there. When she approached the tree, Leah heard her and Matt’s song playing mysteriously (a boombox was hidden underneath it). Matt came out from around the tree to propose! The married friends had their cameras ready, and took photos during and just after Matt popped the question. So cool!

Stephanie and Erik married on a beautiful and sunny 100 degree day. The view outside was so nice that even the air conditioning inside couldn’t keep people from coming out to dance on the patio, play in the fountain, and take advantage of the ice cream cart. Yum!
Melethia and Duane - July 20th, 2008
July 20, 2008 | Category: Seattle Weddings | 14 Comments
Melethia and Duane were married on a day that could only be described as perfect, at the elegant Woodmark Hotel. They met at work in 1999, and Duane proposed in the very same spot, eight years later. It didn’t take that long for these two to know that they had found something very special in each other, though - Melethia called her mom that very first day, to share her excitement in meeting someone certain to play a special part in her life.
The ceremony was all peaceful happiness mixed with true love… it was simply beautiful. While it’s no secret that I still cry at weddings, these two have set some kind of record: I actually cried again while working through the photos. Duane’s vows to Melethia - unbelievable!
The party involved miniature banana splits in martini glasses, chocolate shake shots, our favorite dj, Austin Beaver, and even a magician. The greatest part, though, was when Melethia surprised Duane and everybody else with an incredible display of FIREWORKS!
Merry Beth Turpin was the coordinator-extraordinaire. Rented Elegance provided the spectacular decor. Corey from Bogle Productions provided videography.
Audrey and Mike - July 19th, 2008

We started with Audrey and Mike at the Grand Hyatt Hotel, where Audrey prepared for her wedding in an opulent suite (about the size of many first homes).
The ceremony took place at St. James Cathedral, the most elegant church in Seattle. 
We ended up in the Columbia Tower Club, where guests enjoyed the soaring views from Seattle’s tallest building, martinis from the ice bar and luge, favorite hits from the 80’s (thanks to The Retros), and the ever-popular Live Photo Booth. The Homer Simpson groom’s cake was fun, but my favorite part of the night was when Audrey’s dad set aside his cane for the father-daughter dance to show the crowd that he still has some moves!
Coordinated by Jennifer Taylor from Occasions, LLC. Chris and Dawn from Edit 1 Media provided videography.
Katie and Aaron - July 13th, 2008

Katie and Aaron were married at Indian Summer Golf and Country Club, on lucky July 13th. This date was chosen because as a couple, the 13th has marked several milestones: the day they met, the day they found out they were pregnant, the day their offer was accepted on their first house, and the day Aaron proposed to Katie (to name a few)! 
Lily stole some attention during the ceremony, where she passed flower petals out to guests. Soon she’ll have to share the attention with a new brother or sister: Katie and Aaron announced the exciting news at the reception. Congratulations, again!
Katie’s dress is from the Princess Collection at Brides by Demetrios. The red velvet cake was by Celebrity Cake Studio. Erin & Company designed the flowers.
