Toby and Amy met at
Pacific Lutheran University, where they were anatomy study partners. (That's not a joke -- both majored in exercise science.) They tied the knot at their alma mater on a perfect August day.
I was honored to photograph the wedding with
Narayan Mahon, a fellow
'Cuse grad and an accomplished commercial and editorial photographer. (Look for his piece in Harper's on illegal gold mining in French Guiana.) Narayan was doing double-duty: wedding photographer and groomsman too!

The wedding flowers were cream colored roses and hydrangeas.

Toby is a cycling coach, and the officiant is one of his students.

The ceremony took place in the amphitheater of the music center. Toby and Amy's vows were heartfelt and sweet as could be.

Amy looked absolutely radiant, and wore a megawatt smile all day.

Two cute-as-a-button flower girls, one Toby's niece and one Amy's niece.

Wick, one of the groomsmen, congratulates Toby. The reception took up the upstairs of
C.I. Shenanigan's in Tacoma, which offered a sweeping view of the water and lots of room for dancing.
