Brandon + Jessica – Newcastle Wedding Photography

Jessica and Brandon had an amazing northwest summer wedding! Beautiful weather, beautiful view and beautiful people. What more could one want, oh of course, it was a beautiful wedding as well:-). Meg and I really did have a blast with Brandon, Jessica and the rest of the crew… but I want to get to the photos and I’ll kind of have a running commentary along the way!

Jessica and Brandon’s recipe to success -

Venue – Golf Club at Newcastle

Event Coordinator – Geoffrey Gilmore

Florist – Geoffrey Gilmore

Caterer – Golf Club at Newcastle

Cake Artist – Creative Cake Designs

Music/DJ – Wavelink

Cinematographer – Willowcraft Media

Newcastle is a gorgeous wedding venue inside…

… and out!

Jessica, you looked amazing!! And Brandon… you looked fantastic as well!

As a side note, with Brandon’s help, I’m dubbing this one ‘Little House On The Prairie’. Awesome!!

I’m pretty sure Brandon had no chance at this shot:-).

The Wooly Toad Bar was the perfect setting for a lot of fun photos!

The ladies.

C’mon, how could anyone pass up this shot?

Lebron ain’t got nothing on this billiard king!

The ceremony was absolutely beautiful, a big kudos to Geoffrey Gilmore for all the hard work he put into helping make this day happen!

After the ceremony, we knew at some point we would be able to get some photos with the piper that plays in the evenings. What we didn’t know was that while they were getting ready to sign the marriage license was right when he would start playing. These were photos that we had talked up to Jessica and Brandon and they knew they wanted to have them captured, so we booked it down to the hills. It was so worth it:-). It was pretty funny, the piper saw the pace that Jessica was moving at and stopped what he was playing and began playing a rushed version of ‘Here Come’s The Bride’. It was pretty cute.

Seriously, an amazing evening!

I love this big picture angle that Meg captured!

The toasts were both funny…

… and sweet!

I can’t get over this image of Jessica!

I previously worked for Brandon’s dad and he (and your mom) are very proud of you. You make a stunning couple, and these pictures are phenomenal! I’m sure the wedding was breath-taking. I hope you will be very happy.

Aaron and Meg have been exceptional photographers and personable people for Brandon and Jessica’s wedding. The artistry expressed in these pictures captures the sparkling personalities and joy of their subjects so well. The formal poses are vibrant because the subjects of the photos are relaxed, enjoying the experience. The unique perspectives of the activities of the day from the parental reflection to the groomsmen playing football in their tuxes, help to tell a story of friendship and joy. Creative use of the venue as the backdrop and canvas for these pictures in unique ways offers Jessica and Brandon stunning photos of their special day and it’s deep meaning for them.

I also am impressed with how effortlessly Aaron and Meg created experiences that caused the bridal party and the families to be comfortable and have fun. Through the formal shots to the spontaneous moments, Evantide Photography demonstrated why people respond so well to Aaron’s humor, directions and encouragement to be themselves.

I highly recommend Evantide Photography and applaud them for telling the story of Jessica and Brandon’s wedding so well. The gleam in the groom’s eye and the radiant smile of the bride are evidence of true artists at work recording the emotions and energy of the day. Evantide Photography is an outstanding choice for wedding photography.

Brandon and Jessica, these pictures are SO beautiful! Something to cherish forever. Jessica, you look drop-dead gorgeous and Brandon you look fantastic. I’m so happy for both of you. I’m glad you came by to learn some waltz for your wedding dance. I’m sure you both did great. Have an awesome life together.
