Marilee and Phil tied the knot this weekend at Hillcrest Lodge in their hometown of Mt. Vernon, WA. Rob Sumner and I spent a terrific day with them, photographing their preparations, a portrait session on Little Mountain with a terrific view of the valley, and their ceremony and reception in the Lodge. It was great to get to know them, their awesome friends and family as we documented it all. We hope you enjoy this preview of their wedding story. –Andy Rogers<\/p>\n
