Sarah and Robbie wanted to spend a full weekend creating memorable experiences with all of their favorite people. With beach cabins and stunning Pacific Northwest views, Guemes Island Resort brought their three-day “summer camp wedding” vision to life!

On a Friday in June, they greeted friends and family for a welcome rehearsal dinner with pizza, games, and dancing (pictured here). There’s something so special about watching the people you love most make new connections with each other, and we could feel that the next day at their big wedding.

Their beloved dog Cash brought smiles all weekend long, spontaneously tagging along for their first look, napping next to family during the ceremony, and wandering through the dance floor. Sarah’s nephews helped their dad officiate the wedding, surprising us with the sweetest speeches that had everyone tearing up. Everything about this celebration was heartfelt, focused on them and their people, and full of genuine joy. I hope you can feel it in these images!

If you’re looking for a scenic venue to host your own wedding weekend between Bellingham and Seattle, Guemes Island Resort is the perfect place. Located on a little island across from Anacortes, this setting will show your friends and family exactly why you fell in love with the Pacific Northwest.
