Love letters to my wonderful clients and their amazing wedding days.
Ballard Locks Family Session // The Ratcliffe Family
When I moved to Seattle just over four years ago, Amber and her family were some of my very first clients and we did a couple of sessions together before they moved to the East Coast. Well last fall they came back for a vacation to visit family and they took time out to get some updated family photos! We decided to go to the same place we went for that very first shoot, the Ballard Locks, and thankfully the weather cooperated and we were able to get some beautiful family photos.
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!
SeaTac In-Home Portraits // Kendall (@FatBabeBoudoir)
I’ve known Kendall for years online but I only got to shoot with her for the first time last month when we collaborated on some in-home boudoir portraits. Normally behind the camera, Kendall wanted to step in front of the lens to build up her modeling portfolio. Seriously, how amazing does she look?
Northacres Family Session // The Sliva's
When I first moved to Seattle almost four years ago, Hitomi and her family were one of my first clients. When we did that shoot Paul was but a little toddler, now he’s off to school! That’s not all that’s changed, he now has an adorable little sister. Like all older siblings, Paul’s happiness at having a younger sibling ebbs and flows but thankfully on this day he was happy to have someone to play in the leaves with on a beautiful crisp fall day.
Franklin Falls Engagement Session // Carly & Ana
When Carly & Ana told me that they were incorporating their dogs into their wedding, I immediately threw a contract in their face and said “BOOK ME FOR THIS WEDDING” because ohmygosh doesn’t a wedding with dogs sound like heaven?
Downtown Seattle Couple Shoot // Megan & Derek
Megan & Derek travelled from their home in Southern California to visit Seattle in December. Are they insane? Maybe. But more importantly they were celebrating an amazing anniversary and wanted to go somewhere neither of them had been!
Lord Hill Farms Wedding // Rachel & Kelsey
Where to even start with Rachel & Kelsey’s wedding? Well I knew after their engagement session (see it here) that these two were going to be a hoot and they didn’t disappoint!
Wallace Falls Lodge Wedding // Evan & Kelsey
Evan & Kelsey’s wedding was beautiful and intimate at the most beautiful and intimate location. Nestled in front of the Cascade mountains just outside of Seattle, Wallace Falls Lodge is a stunning, nature filled venue that is quiet and serene.
The River House at Index Wedding // Adam & Amanda
Amanda & Adam’s beautiful rural wedding in Index, WA nestled amongst the majesty of the Cascade Mountains.
Lummi Island Wedding // Ally & Talyn
Ally & Talyn’s gothic wedding on Lummi Island was perfect and fit them to a tee.
Brown Family Homestead Wedding // Tyler & Elyse
When Tyler and Elyse initially told me the name of their venue, I thought it was a family relations home. I mean that’s the way the name makes it sound, right? Turns out it was not in fact any relation at all but the most gorgeous venue in Washington.
Rattlesnake Lake Engagement Session // Rachel & Kelsey
When I suggested to Rachel & Kelsey that we do a sunrise shoot at Rattlesnake Lake for their engagement session, there was some reluctance. They both admitted they were not morning people and with the Lake being an hour drive away from Seattle they knew they’d have to get up early.
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.
Westside Church Wedding // Bre & Elliott
Bre & Elliott chose to do their engagement photos at a Seattle Park (Golden Gardens) and they continued that tradition into their wedding by doing their first look at a Seattle Park also. I had never been to Sunset Park but I can see why they were attracted to it. Offering stunning views out across the Puget Sounds to the rolling Olympic Mountains it was quite the backdrop, and backdrop it was because Bre & Elliott only had eyes for each other once they’d seen each other.
Willows Lodge Wedding // Ann & Eric
When I shot Ann & Eric’s engagement photos back in March, I knew they were going to host a fun wedding, and I was right. On a beautiful summer day, a beautiful summer Friday The 13th no less, the two tied the knot at Willows Lodge over in Woodinville, just East of Seattle.
Seattle Aquarium Wedding // Pepper & Keith
Pepper & Keith’s wedding day at the Seattle Aquarium was as beautiful as they come!
Discovery Park Engagement Shoot // Evan & Kelsey
Discovery Park is one of the most popular parks in Seattle for photography, that's why I have always avoided it. Tales of cars being towed, broken into, no spaces, made it all very confusing on the best way to enjoy this park. Thankfully Evan & Kelsey knew the deets and we parked at the South Lot and went EARLY.
Seattle Park Engagement // Sal & Reyna
Something I've always wanted to shoot is a surprise engagement proposal and a few weeks ago I got the opportunity to! It was such a fun experience!
Boho Styled Shoot at Rosario Beach // Seattle Wedding Photography
A few months ago I was contacted by Sarah of Serenity Weddings who asked if I would be interested in collaborating in a styled shoot. I've been to one or two but I'd never be involved from the beginning so it was a fun process.
