We've chosen to register at Macy's and Amazon. I think I could probably find everything I could ever desire on Amazon, but Macy's is more convenient for some people, and we found some dishes we really love there, so there will be a few things on the Macy's list. With my love of cooking, I'm really excited to research and select awesome kitchen stuff. The registry is still very much a work in progress.
As noted in the previous post, there will also be a registry option through the photographers.

Photography
We've booked Wallflower Photography to do the photography for the wedding and reception. I'm thrilled to have them taking our pictures. Go check out their work--it's beautiful! (Their webiste) (Their blog)
I contacted these folks after they were featured in the UPS alumni magazine, Arches. We met with them in their house/office and I was impressed with their work. I like that they do the modern style of wedding album (where the entire page is composed collage-style and printed), but I'm not sure if we'll order one right away.
One of the neat things about this company is that they have a registry where guests can choose to put money toward a couple's photography costs if they wish. I think this is a great idea for people who aren't sure what to give as a gift.

Venue: The Pagoda at Point Defiance Park
We'll be celebrating our wedding at the Pagoda in Point Defiance Park in Tacoma. ( Look at this pretty picture! ) Odds are good that it will be a nice day and the plan is to exchange vows outside, either on the lawn or at the base of a large staircase on the back side of the Pagoda (like these people did). And if it rains, we can push all the tables to one side of the Pagoda and hold the ceremony inside.
In our venue search, we considered wineries, converted barns, and other non-church locations. I thought it would be nice to get married at the Golden Gardens Bathhouse, located on the beach in Ballard, but when we went to visit, Raj was turned off by the public-ness of it (namely, the public restrooms within spitting distance of the doors leading from the bathhouse to the beach). The Pagoda is also in a public park, but the layout of the area and surrounding gardens make it a bit more private. And it's only a short trip down to Owen Beach so we can still have beach pictures.
An important factor in our venue search was being able to do the whole shebang all in one location. In the interest of keeping our carbon footprint as small as possible, I didn't want guests to drive from one place to another between the ceremony and reception. And, as this venue is in a city park, it is conveniently budget conscious, as well.
