Kaden & Nicole / Rustic Chic Minimalist DIY Wedding at Meadowbrook Farm Preserve in Snoqualmie, WA

I have to say… This was the first time I’ve ever photographed a couple who met online from separate countries and fell in love. The majority of their guests were also friendships that formed online and have maintained for years – literally flying in from all across the country to celebrate their two friends. It was pretty cool! Nicole is Canadian and also had a handful of her Canadian family and friends to celebrate with them.

I knew Kaden and Nicole’s wedding was going to be a good time when I got a sense for how laid back of a couple they were. They kept things simple by going without a bridal party, DIYing most of their decor, and choosing the Meadowbrook Farm Preserve – a gorgeous, serene piece of land in Snoqualmie – as their venue. But as soon as I saw Nicole’s amazing blue-sequined dress, I knew I had underestimated her. Her blue details and simple elegance were the star of the day.
