When two geologists get married, you know it’s going to be a wedding like no other! This stunning celebration at the Burke Museum on the University of Washington campus was a beautiful blend of art, history, and the couple’s scientific passions. From the moment they walked down the aisle, literally an aisle of stairs surrounded by their closest friends and family lining the steps, it was clear this wedding was all about showcasing their unique love story. Their day was a perfect mix of quirky, personalized touches and elevated elegance, making it one of the most memorable events I’ve had the pleasure of planning. The couple’s passion for geology wasn’t just on display in their professions but also in the details they incorporated throughout the day. One of my favorite touches were their Lego floral centerpieces, yes, you read that right! As two self-proclaimed “sweet nerds,” they loved showing off their fun and playful side, while still keeping everything chic and elevated. They truly captured the essence of who they are as individuals and as a couple, making their wedding feel intimate and personal. Despite the quick turnaround time, since we couldn’t get into the museum until after hours, the couple’s laid-back attitude made everything come together effortlessly. The museum’s timeless architecture provided the perfect backdrop for their celebration, adding depth and meaning to their special day. It was an unforgettable wedding that perfectly reflected their love for science, their connection to each other, and their love of fun.
