Seaside Naval Wedding at the Port of Anacortes

Men in uniform, maritime vibes, a rocking dance floor and romantic details: we’re all about this seaside soiree. It was two years ago this week that Michelle and Lucas tied the knot in beautiful Skagit Valley. With family ties to the area and stunning views of the San Juan Islands, these two chose the charming historical Sacred Heart Catholic Church in La Conner for the ceremony followed by the Port of Anacortes’ spacious Transit Shed for their reception. It was the perfect setting to welcome local guests as well as the far flung military crowd that made up a portion of the guest list.

Luxurious Lake Como Wedding at Villa Balbiano

Lake Como: home to some of the most beautiful lakeside villas in all the world. Our clients Anoush + Sokrat chose Villa Balbiano to host their nuptials.
