Peter and Felix brought one hundred percent of their authentic selves to their wedding at Ray’s Boathouse and their friends and family LOVED it.
If there is one word I could come up with to summarize Akela and Billie’s late summer wedding at Falling Water Gardens, it would be joyful. The whole day these two beauties were smiling and giggling and screaming with laughter. They were giddy in love like it was a potion.
Nick and Franklin’s late summer wedding at Trinity Tree Farms near Seattle was nothing short of fae wonderland dreams.
In the weeks leading up to Wyatt and Miranda’s engagement session I was working myself up into an anxious mess about driving over the pass in late December. Every day I was obsessively watching the weather and the traffic cameras, predicting that the day we were due to do the sesison there would be a freak snow storm that only struck when I was crossing the pass. I actually eneded up borrowing a friends 4x4 just to make sure I was fully prepared. All of which came to nothing because the day I drove over the pass it was gorgeous clear blue skies and though there was snow on the ground there were two “ruts” that were clear to the ground. Basically it was absolutely no bother at all!
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.
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.
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.
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.
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!
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!
