jeff + Greta {Wedding}

Bethany Community Church

Greta is one of my dear friends; actually, she is my first Seattle friend.  When Greta first started talking about Jeff, her eyes lit up with joy!  If you saw the two of them together, you would see that J & G are such a sweet couple.  Right away you’ll see the spunk and flair they bring to a gathering. They are the couple everyone loves and wants to be friends with - I know I do.

First, I shot Jeff and Greta's engagement photos here- @ Discovery Park in Seattle. The shoot was tons of fun! The two are so whimsical, fun and relaxed together.

Greta and Jeff were married in June at Bethany Community Church at Green Lake in Seattle, Washington. The couple loves and values friendships so much; they used the talents and skills of their friends to delight their guests.  A dear friend and co-worker, Lloydine was her florist.  The girls at Greta's bachelorette weekend helped to make the table decor.  As both Jeff and Greta are school teachers, one of their students made the wedding cake and cupcakes (it was her first one and my husband had three pieces!)  Some more former students, Blake and Daniel, made an amazing video which played prior to the ceremony to give the guests a glimpse into the couples story.  Blake and Daniel also were the videographers during the ceremony and reception.  Another good friend of Greta’s, Kristen designed the ceremony programs. With such unique a creative touches, it made the celebration intimate, personal and fun!

Jeff & Greta!

Jeff and Greta are getting married this June and we headed to Discovery Park in Seattle for their engagement photo session. The park is breathtaking.  The Magnolia Bluff overlooks Puget Sound with spectacular views of the Olympic Mountains. Rachael Kruse photography engagement photographerJeff & Greta added a lot of their personal spunk and style, creating a unique engagement session.

When Jeff and Greta were first dating, Jeff brought balloons to Greta and they used them to speak in helium voices. How fun are they? Yes, balloons were a must to incorporate into their photos.Rachael Kruse photography engagment photographer

This would be one of the many instruments he plays, the trombone. The photo below shows how fun these two are. Greta thought it would be quirky and silly to blow bubbles while Jeff played.

"...without saying a word, you can light up the dark" - Greta's beautiful voice sings out as Jeff lays listening in her lap. These two are both musically talented.

Greta is an English teacher and loves to read. This is a vintage William Shakespeare book her Grandmother gave to her. With Greta reading and Jeff playing his guitar these photos express in a creative way their personalities and interests. Jeff Myers and Greta Weisman engagement photo Jeff Myers playing guitarJeff Myers and Greta Weisman engagement photosJeff Myers and Greta Weisman engagement photosJeff Myers and Greta Weisman engagement photoThank you Jeff & Greta!
