Deception Pass State Park Engagement Session // Lina and Jerrick

Deception Pass State Park Engagement Session // Lina and Jerrick

When I met Lina and Jerrick at Deception Pass State for their engagement session, Washington had been experiencing a string of eighty degree days. But the day I met them it was cooler and overcast and I was worried we weren’t going to get good weather. Thankfully my fears were for nothing as Mother Nature pulled it out at the last minute for a beautiful sunset for them.

When I suggested to Jess & Caroline that we do their engagement session at Rosario Beach, I expected a little pushback because it is a good ways away from Seattle. Turns out during the pandemic they moved to Whidbey Island so it was onlt about 15 miles from them! Talk about serendipity!

When I asked Marjorie where she and David would like to do their engagement session, she said she wanted something in nature. I showed her the engagement session styled shoot I had just attended at PhotoLush a couple weeks prior and she was in. Even after telling her it was a two hour drive north and the best time of day was sunrise, they were still in.

The second part to the “Frame your couples with nature” breakout at PhotoLush 2019 was hosted by Celina Meza Photography. Last year she gave a talk about engagement sessions and working with couples so I was really excited to see her in action this year and she didn’t disappoint! Her couple Matt & Mae were adorable and so comfortable in front of the camera.

This past weekend I attended PhotoLush for the third time and it was the best time yet! Not only did I get to present and lead a breakout (more on that in a coming post) but I also got to attend a breakout hosted by the wonderful Afton Lewis and Celina Meza. They hosted a joint breakout on using nature to frame your couples, at the beautiful and #SOPNW Rosario Beach, just by Deception Pass.
