Rachel + Drew Othello, Washington Wedding Ceremony

Rachel + Crew Smokey Othello Wedding Ceremony was such a unique yet beautiful experience as we battled the smoke from local wildfires. Washington State as battling an assortment of wildfires this summer; many of which were just within miles of my own town. While the fires were being controlled, much of Central Washington was covered in a thick cloud of smoke. Although it was a little hard to breathe, it made for some unique lighting as we shot this ceremony!

For this wedding, I was second shooting for Danielle Johnson Photography and joined her for the wedding ceremony! Rachel and Drew both grew up around Othello and the ceremony took place on a beautiful desert property owned by their families. They picked a beautiful deep navy color for the prominent color and mixed it in with some beautiful creams, mustard yellow and white. The vast outdoor space that they chose for their ceremony also made it a safe environment amidst the pandemic; it was awesome!

One of my favorite things about this wedding ceremony is that you could see how much the couple love each other. As they each said their vows tears were streaming down both of their faces (and most of us tbh). One of the best things about this job is witnessing the deep unshakable love that two people share; and getting to join them in celebrating that bond! Smoke couldn’t stop us from celebrating their love story.
