Sierra & Nicole's Fall Engagement Session at the Washington Arboretum | Seattle Engagement Photographer
There’s something especially magical about Seattle in the fall. The changing leaves, crisp morning air, and softer golden light create the perfect backdrop for engagement photos. Sierra and Nicole’s engagement session at the Washington Arboretum was the perfect reminder of why autumn is one of my favorite seasons to photograph couples in the Pacific Northwest.
Arthur & Max's Morning Engagement Session at Carkeek Park | Seattle Engagement Photographer
There's something special about a quiet morning in Seattle, especially when it's spent exploring one of the city's most beautiful parks with a couple in love. Arthur and Max's engagement session at Carkeek Park was the perfect combination of stunning Pacific Northwest scenery, soft morning light, and genuine moments that made for an unforgettable experience.
A sunny Washington Arboretum surprise proposal
When you hide in the bushes to capture an engagement in front of a tree they named after their partner, you know it’s going to be a good session!
Ballinger Park engagement session | Adam & Haley
It’s not often I get to explore somewhere new around where I used to live but Adam & Haley’s decision to do their engagement session at Ballinger Lake allowed me the opportunity!
Summer engagement session at Deception Pass State Park
When I met Lina and Jerrick at Deception Pass State Park for their engagement session, Washington had been experiencing a string of eighty degree days.
An engagement session amongst the trees of Treehouse Point!
A few weeks ago Baylee sent me a message on Instagram to ask if I was available to capture her proposal at Treehouse Point, I of course said yes! I’ve wanted to capture love at Treehouse Point for forever so I immediately contacted them and set up a time for Baylee and a couple weeks later there we were!
A snow filled Stevens Pass engagement session // Wyatt and Miranda
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!
Sunkissed and snarky springtime Rattlesnake Lake engagement session
Akela and Billie’s engagment session at Rattlesnake Lake was filled with all kinds of adorable interactions, as well as a healthy dose of snark.
Late summer sunset Carkeek Park engagement session // Molly and Kenji
Molly and Kenji’s engagement session at Carkeek Park could not have asked for better late summer weather if it had tried. The temperature was just right for walking around but not hot enough to draw everyone else to the park as well.
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.
Same Sex Summer Sunset Engagement Session at Seattle's Discovery Park
I met Alex and Trevor at Discovery Park on a warm summer evening right before the Fall rains descended on us. Thankfully we managed to stay dry as we wandered around Discovery Park capturing their love and talking about their relationship.
Long Distance Romance Engagement Session // Seattle Wedding Photographer
When I was setting up a consult for Gregg and Lorena, we had a few things to work around, namely the fact that Lorena wasn’t actually in the US but still in Colombia!
Joyful Carkeek Park Summer Engagement Session // Rachel & Trent
When I met Rachel & Trent for their consult we grabbed coffee outside at a coffee shop and we ended up talking for almost four hours and Rachel & I ended up with sunburn (Trent was smart and sat in the shade) but that should tell you something about how well I get on with these two.
Moody Fall Wahclella Falls Engagement Session // Grace and Russell
When Grace reached out to me she told me that she was a bridesmaid at Carly & Ana’s wedding a couple years ago and I was like hmm I don’t recognize the name. But when I went back to their gorgeous day and matched her face to her name I instantly remembered what a fun person she was and so I was very excited for their engagement session!
Same Sex Capitol Hill Seattle Couple Session Turns Surprise Proposal!
When Reyna reached out to me to do a couple session and told me that she was planning to propose to her girlfriend during the session, I was of course VERY excited. We planned the session for a couple months, scoped out a few locations and discussed our strategy for signalling each other that it was time.
Same Sex Point Defiance Park Engagement Session // Adam + Tony
When Adam and Tony suggested Point Defiance Park for their engagement session, I was super pumped. However when I got there I discovered that Five Mile Drive was closed and so was Owens Beach, two of the best locations in the whole park!
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.
Kerry Park Engagement Session // Dani & Michelle
Dani & Michelle were supposed to be married by now but thanks to that thing they chose to reschedule to 2021, and then 2022 so they could have the wedding they wanted to. But since so much time had passed since their first engagement session, they decided to do a second engagement session at Kerry Park so that their final wedding invitations could include their newest family member!
