Heartfelt congratulations to our dear friends, Mike & Tynisha. A beautiful day for a beautiful couple. Tynisha was radiant in her custom made gown. She carried a fragrant and vibrant bouquet by Woodland Flowers.

The candy buffet was a big hit with kids of all ages!

And they shall live happily ever after…

Can you believe this was the weather on February 4th of 2012?!

Congratulations Jeff and Jeannine for your wedding and picking the perfect winter (sort of!) day.

An evening to remember at Hidden Meadows

Tuesday October 11th – another elegant open house at Hidden Meadows, the most sought after wedding venue in Snohomish County. Tim & Tracy Stocker and their hardworking staff really know how to pamper their guests with beer, wine and tasty bites from some of the best caterers. To name a just a few that we sampled: Snohomish Beer & Wine Specialty Shop, Pyramid Catering, and The Cabbage Patch Restaurant.

Dozens of “Brides & Grooms-to-be” enjoyed the sights and sounds. Thanks to Wave Link DJ and Otto Matic for keeping the party rockin’! We loved the treats from Simply Sweet Cupcakes. You have to check out their Pink Champagne cupcake – delightful!

We saw gorgeous arrangements and exotic flowers by Kathi’s Freelance Floral and The Petal and The Stem

For one of a kind creations for the little ones in your bridal party, go to Beebops & Lollipops. Looking for the perfect gown? Zerlinda at From the Gown Up will help you select your dream dress and accessories. They both have charming boutiques on First Street in Snohomish!

It all comes together when you say, “I Do!”. Pat and Kent, a.k.a. A Heavenly Ceremony, have been voted “Best Officiant” more times than I can count!

It was a wonderful evening, and we were thrilled to meet so many adorable couples and their families and friends. Hope everyone had a great time planning their wedding celebration. All the best, David & Deborah Kruse, Kruse Portrait Design

Why hire a professional?

In addition to experience and many other factors, a professional photographer can deliver lasting memories in a portrait that simply cannot be achieved by “a friend with a good camera”. While we realize the economy has created difficult times, few things are as important as family and the times had together. Look carefully at the three images below. The top is not acceptable. It was taken with manual settings but no additional lighting. Something anyone can do. The second is with one light. It’s okay. The final image is with a main, fill, and background light. Very nice result. Quick to set up, but something that would only be achieved through experience and professionalism!
