Love letters to my wonderful clients and their amazing wedding days.
A fiery Point Defiance Engagement Session // Pacifica and Evan
While I do have some favorite spots and go to’s for engagement sessions, it’s not often that I go to them back to back but that’s what happened last Fall with Point Defiance Park. One night I was there for Adam & Tony’s engagement session and the next night I was there for Pacifica and Evan’s engagement session.
Sunset Picnic Engagement Session at Discovery Park // John & Janine
Discovery Park is one of my favorite parks in Seattle so when Janine told me she wanted that sunkissed long grass feel for their engagement session I knew exactly where to go.
Richmond Beach Engagement Session // Jay & Josh
I think Jay & Josh can best be summed up by this story: I told them to walk away from me and then for Jay to lead Josh back to me by the hand. She took this to mean she was leading him like the witch leading Hanzel & Gretel to her house in the woods, complete with creepy walk and laugh. It had us all busting up with laughter because I did not expect it at all. But that is them to a tee, they’re always laughing, always smiling, never serious and they fit together so beautifully because of it.
Seattle Sunset Elopement // Marjorie and David
Marjorie and David were originally supposed to get married on June 20 with all their family & friends, but then COVID happened. I feel like I could just copy & paste that for all my blog posts the next few months. It sounds like they were downsizing but actually the day of, it seemed like the most natural thing in the world for it to be just the two of them speaking their truths to each other.
Sunkissed Northacres Park Engagement Session // Bethany and Phil
When the weather looked like it was going to be meh for this engagement session, I asked Bethany & Phil if they wanted to reschedule. They chose to go ahead and I’m so glad we did because the weather actually turned out to be more than perfect, take THAT Dark Sky app.
Why you should make time for sunset photos on your wedding day
I’m a wedding photographer so I’m always going to push for the maximum time spent with you on your day getting you beautiful, candid wedding photos. But I also know your wedding day isn’t all about me. So the one time of day I really push for getting photos (other than the first look which you should read all about here) is sunset photos.
Lincoln Park Couples Session // Megan and Marsha
I first met Marsha two years ago when she officiated the wedding of Sabrina & Jenn so when she reached out to me earlier this year to do a shoot, I immediately said yes!
Defiance Point Park Engagement Session // Elizabeth & James
For most people, scheduling an engagement session the day after you fly back from Thailand would be a bad idea. Thankfully for me it was with James and Elizabeth and it was amazing and we had the best light ever.
Dash Point State Park Engagement Session // McKenna & James
McKenna and James’ engagement session was originally supposed to be on the Sunday evening but I had a cancellation on the Saturday and asked if they’d like to switch. I figured, Saturday’s are more relaxed and further from the start of another work week so it would be more fun.
Richmond Beach Portraits // Plus Size Pioneer
Last summer when I was considering switching camera systems from Canon to Sony, I rented a Sony A7III and asked Andrea if she wanted to model for some portraits for me to test it out. We headed out to Richmond Beach Saltwater Park on a beautiful afternoon just as the sun was setting and captured some magic!
Richmond Beach Saltwater Park Engagement Session // Jordan & Greg
Jordan and Greg opted for a sunset session at Richmond Beach Saltwater Park. I’ve taken my dog there before (he loves it) but I’d never been there at sunset and holy wow does it get a beautiful sunset. The sun dips below the Olympics and bathes the entire beach in a gorgeous golden glow.
Lauren & Paul: Sneak Peek! - Seattle Engagement Photographer
An engagement shoot in downtown Seattle on New Year's Day, who would possibly suggest that? Lauren did, and it was a great idea!
Keiley & Pat = MARRIED! // Seattle Wedding Photography
I had the great privilege of spending Saturday capturing Keiley & Pat’s gorgeous wedding out by Arlington. I can’t wait to dive into editing these but for now here’s a sneak peek of their beautiful day.
