Tobias reached out to me 2 weeks before the big day, and apparently, that was the beginning of all their wedding planning. Thankfully I was free that Sunday, who could say no to a yacht wedding?!
The wedding day came and I headed to Fisherman’s Terminal on a beautiful warm and sunny day. Parking was reely easy and navigating through the docks was a breeze (sorry about the puns). About a 2 minute walk from the entrance, there it was, the 75-ft yacht they call Chillin’
I was there 15 minutes before sailing time so I took the chance to take pics of the decorations and the rings. Then, the captain explained all the safety procedures and we departed!
Originally, Ruth and Tobias planned their ceremony at 1:30pm, but I advised that if they waited at least 1-hr, the sun would be coming down from an angle, creating shade on their faces which makes for more flattering pictures and avoids them having to squint during the entire ceremony.
I used this time to take pictures of Ruth putting on the dress and Tobias getting ready for the big moment.
The captain timed everything so we would have the Seattle skyline in the background during the ceremony as the couple requested. It worked wonderfully.
One of my favorite parts during the day was during the couple portraits. While we were walking around the yacht, many of the people on the boats passing-by greeted the couple and wished them well. We had a lot of fun saying hi back to all the different characters that greeted us.
