One of my favourite things is meeting couples that are high school sweethearts. I find that there is something so hopelessly romantic about marrying someone that you have known for a very long time. And there is also something very steadfast and comfortable about it too. Eric and Lauren are one of those couples and their wedding day was a testament to their family and friends that they are in this for the long haul. Held at the incredibly beautiful Semiahmoo Resort outside of Blaine, Washington, Eric and Lauren got married on what was the most perfect late summer day with the ocean and mountains as an essential backdrop. The resort struck an excellent balance between casual and elegant as guests meandered on the pier overlooking the bay with drinks in hand at the reception.

Everything from the punchy pink and green accents to the ocean breeze coming off the water lent to a magical day. But best of all, in the center of it all, was a couple whose love for each other was so clear and true.

And now I share this beautiful day (and last wedding of 2012 for me) with you. Enjoy!
