A Perfect Wedding Day at Our Lady of the Sea and Port Gamble Hood Canal Vista Pavilion

Every wedding has a story to tell, and Nico and Kristin’s day was filled with unforgettable moments. From a serendipitous meeting at a country bar in San Diego to creating a dream life on their serene Washington property, their wedding was a celebration of love, adventure, and new beginnings.

How It All Started

Nico and Kristin’s love story began in 2017 when fate brought them together at a lively country bar in San Diego. Nico was there with a friend, while Kristin was out with her college roommates. What started as a fun evening soon turned into an adventurous night on a boat (thanks to Nico and his friend both being captains). That chance encounter was the spark that lit up a love story leading them to a beautiful wedding in the Pacific Northwest.

Building a Life in Washington

Fast forward to February 2022, Nico and Kristin took a leap of faith and moved from San Diego to Washington. They dreamed of finding a quiet haven, filled with open space, and in December, they did just that. Their stunning property has become a sanctuary for outdoor adventures and the rustic lifestyle they longed for.

Living amidst nature, they’ve embraced the best of Washington’s beauty. Whether hiking trails, hosting barbecues, having fires, or spending time with their beloved dogs, Nico and Kristin have truly made this house their home. Nico, an avid fisherman, even enjoys early mornings on their working boat, while the other boat remains a fun project.

Their move to Washington has also allowed them to be closer to Nico’s family in Seattle, adding another layer of connection to their new life.

The Ceremony at Our Lady of the Sea

For their vows, Nico and Kristin chose the breathtaking Our Lady of the Sea church as the setting for their ceremony. This serene and intimate venue offered a perfect backdrop with its peaceful ambiance and beautiful architecture.

Surrounded by their closest family and friends, the couple exchanged heartfelt vows in a touching ceremony. Capturing these sacred moments as their Seattle wedding photographer was a privilege, as the energy in the room radiated love and joy.

A Celebration at Port Gamble Hood Canal Vista Pavilion

Following the ceremony, the party continued at the scenic Port Gamble Hood Canal Vista Pavilion, a venue ideal for outdoor-loving couples like Nico and Kristin. This picturesque location, with its panoramic views of Hood Canal, blended seamlessly with their love for nature and created a warm, inviting atmosphere for guests.

The reception was filled with heartfelt laughter, touching toasts, and plenty of dancing as Nico and Kristin celebrated their union in the company of their loved ones. Capturing the magic of the evening, I marveled at the Pavilion’s stunning windows that framed the vibrant sunset over the water, making each photograph even more special.

Looking to the Future

Now happily married, Nico and Kristin continue building their dream life in the Pacific Northwest. They’re exploring the region’s natural wonders, making meaningful connections, and enjoying life’s simple pleasures amidst the beauty of Washington.
