sam and pat

Chelan Ranch weding venue in Chelan, Washington

Sam and Pat are some of the most genuine humans I’ve had the joy of connecting with through my wedding photography business. After their engagement session, I knew I had gained two new friends. Not only are they the kindest, they're creative visionaries with a party hosting FLARE. They were so intentional in planning every detail of their wedding! From the guest list and welcome dinner to their accessories and DJ playlist- everything was thoughtfully curated, making the entire weekend so uniquely them.

By the way, Chelan Ranch is the perfect blank slate for a Lake Chelan wedding. You can’t beat the sweeping views or the intimacy of the setting. And Sam utilized it all with finess. Her wedding colors were vibrant and unforgettable, and the guests absolutely delivered on the request for colorful cocktail-formal attire. From the sunglasses favor wall to the dance-floor wigs, this wedding was truly SO FUN to photograph! And the dance floor… wow. The JMG DJ team knocked it out of the park. I don’t think I’ve ever witnessed such an energetic, nonstop party. When the trolleys arrived to take guests home or back into town, the unanimous chorus of “boos” said it all: no one wanted it to end.

Sam and Pat, your love was effortless to capture. Your sacred final afternoon with your sweet furry pal was tender, emotional, and so moving. I can’t wait to document more chapters of your love story and see where life takes you both. So much love!
