Ryan Ferrer and Christine Liebsack were married on the eve of Valentine’s Day at the First Free Methodist Church on Queen Anne. Above Christine is getting ready at the church. After the ceremony everyone headed over to the reception which was at SODO Park, a great place for a party with wonderful food provided by Herban Feast. I stayed behind for a little while at the church with Christine and Ryan, as they did a little cleanup of the rose petals on the aisle, and for their limo to arrive. We stopped by on the way to SODO Park, at Kerry Park, on top of Queen Anne, for some photographs with the Seattle skyline in the background.
Although all of the photos were originally shot in color, and will be presented in color in their slide show on the website shortly, I decided to convert the highlight pictures for the blog to black and white to show how great they work without any color. The black and white images look so classic and timeless. I usually convert a number for the final selection for my wedding albums an books because of this timeless factor. Here are the pictures I choose to highlight the wedding in black and white. They are mainly the candid photographs presented here. All of the rest will be in a web gallery in color along with the slide show on the main web site.
Ryan and Christine were delighted to see the Valentine theme decorated wedding bed at their suite at the W Hotel as Ryan carried Christine over the threshold in the age old tradition. The giant heart made of chocolates surrounded by red rose petals took them by complete surprise as they entered their wedding chamber. It was after all the eve of Valentines Day so it might have been suspected that one of their friends or sisters might have sprung the surprise on them. I just had to post this one in color. Some pictures do look better for it.
