Kitsap Memorial State Park Fijian + Western Wedding | Seattle Wedding Photographer

Naomi & Geoff had such an incredible wedding. When she described the Fijian traditional elements that would be a part of their day I was fascinated and super excited to be able to capture it! The music, dancing and soul of this day was just beyond anything.

I knew we had a special connection from the get-go. I remember our FaceTime call right when we first met to talk about their wedding. My son was maybe six months old and sleep was — well — difficult. Even though I scheduled our call for the evening, he woke up and SCREAMED. I could either end it or grab him and bounce him around as we chatted. Not only did Naomi + Geoff totally roll with it, but they thought it was hilarious and pretty special. And for that, I thought they were amazingly special.

We did their engagement session (first seen here) out in the Cascades and got a chance to spend time together in one of the most beautiful parts of the world on a beautiful night. I’ll never forget it.

The wedding day was just incredible. If you’re planning a wedding there, make sure to take advantage of the incredible old growth trees for your ceremony area. The only decor they really had was two floral arrangements — the trees did the rest of the talking! Something else to think about it that when you have a wedding that requires ferry travel, make sure to think about accommodations! Naomi and Geoff had reserved a big block of campsites so people could really immerse in the PNW setting (and not have to drive anywhere).

Rustic Summer Wedding at the Red Barn Farm | Taylor + Andy

Taking it back to last summer with this magical, colorful wedding on Seattle’s Eastside. I love the way that this venue has kept rugged elements, yet still somehow everything feels intentional and elevated. When I think about this day I think about the smell of the flowers, fields and fresh air, and the air of love and joy from everyone there. Taylor and Andy are beautiful people, inside and out. It was a joy to share in their joy.
