OLD-WORLD Elegance & Romance wedding | in the historical Blessed Sacrament Catholic Church. — S + K wedding gallery

Sydney and Kenon - a couple inspired by European elegance, historic architecture, and the warmth of early Seattle fall. Built in the early 1920s, Blessed Sacrament Church - one of the city’s finest examples of Gothic religious architecture, set the scene for family and close friends (who flew in from both coasts to witness the beginning of forever).

Following with an intimate cocktail hour at The Illume, it is hard to imagine another September day quite as special to gather, celebrate, capture, and remember.
