Tony and Katie brought everyone together to celebrate their wedding at Rosario Resort on Orcas Island and it could not have been more beautiful. You could tell what a special spot the island was to both the bride and groom, as well as family around them. The love, the laughter, the history; Katie and Tony had it all. From everyone crying at their wedding vows, to the heart-filled toasts at their reception, this couple had me wrapped up in their story from the beginning.

The two have already navigated so much life together and know each other so deeply, that you can't help to be awe of what they've built. Stories of adventure and growth between them brought me to tears more than once during the day, and I left the reception wanting more. Both Tony and Katie were the epitome of gracious hosts, not only toward their loved ones, but those working around them as well.

And talk about loved-ones... the friends and family surrounding them on their wedding day were so obviously joyful to be witnessing such a love. My face hurt from smiling at the dancing, hugs in between and the sincere touches between other couples celebrating marriage and love. It was an amazing day and one that I'm so very honored to be a part of.

From Britt:

We're the OGs of online daters; we met on MySpace. We were both growing up in Medford, Oregon but went to different schools.

After talking online for a few months our parents dropped us of at the movies to meet for the first time.

Being a teenager is hard, and to meet someone you can truly trust and who can be your best friend as you go through those strange years was a blessing

Ath that age, I had no idea this person would be someone I'd spend forever with. We saw each other a couple times a week and it was always so exciting.

Jameson would print out movie covers and hang them up in the room, have snacks set up adorably, and always let me choose from the movie options. I admired the creativity and thoughtfulness he put it. I just knew he was a good person.

I've always been inspired by him because of the way he lives life and loves others. We've always understood each other and wanted the best for each other so, whatever has come our way, we've worked through it together.

Love is making the choice over and over again to do life together and it's just never been an option to do it separately.
