Roche Harbor Resort Wedding | Friday Harbor, Washington | Katelyn + Brendan

Katelyn + Brendan | Intimate and Candid Roche Harbor Resort Wedding in Friday Harbor, Washington

This last summer, Katelyn and Brendan got married in an intimate setting in the San Juan Islands, and they chose Roche Harbor Resort for all their guests to not only celebrate their wedding, but also have an overnight getaway from the hustle and bustle of the cities.

Roche Harbor is definitely one of my top wedding venues here in Washington state. There is so much to do on the island: shop at some cute local boutiques, eat some fabulous crab legs at the Crab House right next to the ferry - then make your way up to Roche Harbor and hike, kayak or go boating. It’s the perfect weekend getaway just a few hours away from home!

We were hit with quite a bit of rain in the morning, which was rare for a mid July wedding! I always encourage my couples to look past the weather, and keep their eyes set on the big picture, the wedding day. A day that rain should never ruin. Just in time for first look and wedding party portraits, it cleared up just in time for the outdoor ceremony that Kate dreamed of as she walked down the aisle to meet Brendan. I’ve shot at Roche Harbor many a times, but I’ve never had a moment to go inside the darling white chapel on the water - which we signed their license and did a few portraits in before they joined their cocktail hour and that’s where the party really began.
