One of my very dear friends got married in September and asked me to design her wedding. Mike and Christy Cheever were married on the water at her parents’ house in Olympia.

By two o’clock the rain has stopped, the skies had cleared and the sun peeked through to provide a dramatic backdrop to a beautiful ceremony. Here are a smattering of pictures from the day…
