Sarah and Matthew's seaside Port Townsend wedding, photographed by Adam Nash Photography, showcases some of the best of the Pacific Northwest's connection to the sea. There's something so romantic about Matthew getting ready on his boat, and Sarah meeting him on the dock for a first look.

A winter wedding will be held on January 17, 2015 on Whidbey Island, Washington. Many details have already been arranged – the invitations, the cake, the venue, the flowers, the photographer and the musician have all been selected.  Even a professional wedding planner is standing by. There is just one thing missing: the couple. 

To promote Whidbey Island as a winter wedding destination, island industry professionals and tourism officials have teamed up to donate a Winter Wedding Giveaway for one couple and 48 guests, worth over $15,000. The picturesque island is located 25 miles north of Seattle and 70 miles from the Canadian border. 

Couples nominate themselves by submitting their story and photo by October 31 at midnight PDT. The public will vote to narrow the field to the top 10. From those finalists, one couple’s name will be randomly drawn at the Weddings on Whidbey and Events Tour on November 8. 

The first 100 couples who enter will receive one general admission ticket to attend the wedding tour. There is no cost to enter. Everyone who votes may enter to win a two-night getaway on Whidbey Island. To learn more, visit www.WinAWhidbeyWedding.com.

Pat and Syd's relaxed garden-party wedding photographed by Katheryn Moran Photography has so many of our favorite things: a gorgeous bride, stunning flowers, an utterly personal touch, and a sparkler sendoff! And how could you not adore their cake topper?

Katheryn Moran says: Bride, Syd and groom, Pat hired me way back last year to do their engagement session and we had such a great time. These two are so laid back and fun to be around. Pat has a really witty and sarcastic sense of humor that I really appreciate, and clients like this make my job so fun! 

Pat and I actually went to high school together, so it was a real honor to see him again and to be able to capture such a special time. This wedding day was absolutely brimming with adorable details created by the bride. The cake toppers, cards, signs and other decor was all handmade by her. This venue was so gorgeous and just the right size for this intimate wedding.

What do you get when you mix a beautiful venue, a crafty and stylish bride and a talented photographer? This beautiful wedding at Broadway Hall in Bellingham, photographed by Courtney Price Photography. Meredith and Dan's wedding is simple with a personal touch, and we just adore the wildflowers and Meredith's birdcage veil.

Courtney Price says: Much of the wedding was DIY by a crafty bride, family and friends! The bride's mother made the cake, which was really gorgeous. All the hand-made touches blended perfectly with the wildflowers from Boxx Berry Farm.
