Funko fans: get ready to lose your cool when you see this Funko headquarters engagement shoot

Tannah and Nic collect Funko toys and wanted to do have their engagement shoot at the Funko headquarters in Everett, Washington. It’s super colorful, full of literally larger-than-life vinyl toy figures that are super popular, and just a really awesome backdrop for photos.

It was especially fun for them to let off some steam at a more casual setting for their engagement since their wedding will skew a bit more formal. Oh, and don’t miss the making of the cake toppers!

This snowy Washington elopement was planned last minute and took an even more last-minute turn due to heavy snowfall Washington had gotten.

Marich and Mackmade my heart leap with joy with their Harry Potter herbology-themed wedding in Washington. If you don’t already know, herbology is the study of the magical properties of plants within the Wizarding World. they were inspired by the wide open windows that their venue, The Black Pearl, had which had a bit of a greenhouse vibe. They added greenery, some mandrakes, Quidditch goal posts, a Monster Book of Monsters, Acromantulas, and so many more details you Potterphiles will surely spot. Don’t miss the Flying Ford Anglia!

Don your wings & feathers for this whimsical animal menagerie wedding (with a unicorn first look!)

Amie and Michelle’s original plan was to elope in a daffodil field, but instead they opted for a relaxed ceremony in the heart of Seattle’s Capitol Hill neighborhood where personality and expressiveness outweighed decor and tradition. Capitol Hill has a lot of pride around its rich LGBTQ culture and history, so it just made sense for them. The ceremony and reception itself took place at Sole Repair, which is a stunning window-lit urban venue and fit their aesthetic perfectly. Just wait until you see the surprise unicorn first look!
