Sanders Mansion Wedding | Mandi and Chris

You may remember Mandi and Chris from their delightfully quirky Photo Booth, or their unique engagement shoot at Safeco Field.

Baseball was an inspirational force in their engagement shoot, wedding, and their life together. It only took minutes being surrounded by their friends, family, and baseball decorations at the wedding to see they’re a couple who are perfect for each other and clearly adore one another.

To make it distinctly “theirs”, Mandi and Chris used baseball, vintage themes, and the movie “The Natural” to help inspire their wedding colors and textures. In fact, the scoreboard you’ll see in the gallery below now overlooks their backyard. Their wedding & reception was held at Sanders Mansion.

I asked Mandi for advice for future couples, to which she replied:

Wait until you are ready…we waited 14 years and although that’s longer than most, our wedding was FUN. Have fun and roll with the punches. Make your wedding what YOU want it to be but if people you care about want something in the wedding, what does it hurt to do that for them? Nothing will happen as you expect it, nothing will be perfect but if it’s right it will be amazing regardless.

Thanks Mandi & Chris for sharing your story, advice, and pictures!
