Carolyn and James | Seattle Aquarium Wedding

The day dawned bright and sunny. While Carolyn put the finishing touches on her vows, James was surrounded by friends all learning to tie their ties. When the couple finally met to share their vows in private, they bloomed in each other’s presence—happy tears flowing freely.

With sunglasses in hand (a thoughtful gift from the couple), the wedding party strolled to the Seattle Aquarium along the bustling boardwalk. Strangers shouted congratulations, seagulls soared overhead, and the joy of the day kept building.

The Seattle Aquarium was the perfect fit for their dream of a sea-inspired wedding. Carolyn brought it to life beautifully—her dress, accessories, and the waterfront venue all fit the vision perfectly. James even found the perfect tie to match the theme. Their ceremony went off without a hitch, punctuated by cheers from a nearby concert crowd on the pier.

The reception overflowed with unique moments: a touch tank of sea anemones, an otter feeding, dancing beside the giant fish tank, and a photo booth featuring a special cameo from their cat (who wisely stayed home, avoiding the temptation of all those fish).

Congratulations, Carolyn & James! We are beyond thrilled for you both and wish you a lifetime of adventures—especially those by the sea.
