More on Allison & Chanel’s Celebration:

Chanel and Allison were married on Shaw Island in August, at a family home first purchased in the 1930s and shaped over generations. The family now enjoys it as a primary vacation residence. Set along the island’s northern cliffs, their ceremony unfolded with expansive views of the ocean as sailboats passed during the Shaw Island Classic Race. The day was intimate and deeply personal, officiated by a close friend, grounded in a profound love for one another and the families who surround them. The celebration continued at Tenth House in Friday Harbor, a farm-to-table trattoria rooted in local farms and the Salish Sea.   Striped tents dotted the lawn as Chanel’s dad DJ’ed, and the evening felt festive, filled with cheer  vibrant color, and heartfelt speeches that lingered long after the night ended.
