The most celebrated and anticipated wedding day of 2021!
Drew and Cassie have been together for over 10 years and all who know them have been waiting for this day for a very, very long time ;) FINALLY! Mom and dad are married!
I met Cassie freshman year of college in 2008 and have stayed close friends with her ever since. We have so many memories and adventures together over the last decade, and she means so much to me! Watching her love and be loved by Drew has been the most amazing adventure to witness yet and has set the highest of standards of what love is. I’ve been one of the lucky few to be their roommate over the years so I have had a front row seat to this relationship through many trials and triumphs of life. Cass and Drew are the real deal: meant to be, lifelong soulmates, true unconditional love. Unstoppable.
When Drew finally proposed, the world rejoiced and wedding planning began…. until the pandemic hit. This was just one of the many things that Cassie and Drew persevered through and even strengthened their bond through. While their 2020 wedding was put on hold, the optimistic duo invited our close friend group to Drew’s family owned private island for the week of what would have been their wedding week. “Friend Island.” We grilled, water skied, karaoke-d, sat together under the stars, and maximized what Cassie and Drew do best - enjoy quality time with friends. What they didn’t know when they invited us to their summer getaway was that we had something of our own up our sleeves and were not going to let their wedding week go un-wedding. We through a “ramblance” of a wedding one night for them and it is a night I will remember forever!

Fast forward to July 2021 and their REAL wedding day was finally here! It was only fitting that they chose a place like the MV Skansonia to get married at, where boats sail through and planes fly by. Drew builds airplanes and Cassie is the baddest female boat captain I’ve ever seen. They spend 99% of their time together on planes and boats, so saying their vows on Lake Union with the Seattle skyline in the backdrop and boats and planes flying by was the perfect setting! It was a special treat for me to experience the day along Cassie’s side as her bridesmaid while I had the most amazing team help me capture the day. Special thanks to Ellie Parker and Birman Visuals for your hard work and creativity in documenting this incredibly special day.
Cassie and Drew, I’m forever grateful for your friendship. Thank you for showing us all what love should look like and for including us all in your love story throughout the years! My heart is bursting re-living this day and it’ll forever be one of my favorite weddings ever - I love you guys so, so much.
