Katelyn + Drew | A Chelan Backyard Wedding

I’m not even sure where to begin with these two. When I met Katelyn & Drew for their engagement session, I knew they were incredible authentic, kind, genuine souls. But it wasn’t until their wedding day that I was completely floored at their dedication to one another, the beauty of the love of their friends and family, and the joy that everyone shared as they started their life in union.

I was amazed at how much was done by friends and family. Her family friend, Krishna, did the amazing florals and table decor, including Kateyln’s beautiful flower crown, and Katelyn did her own makeup and hair. Katelyn styled the whole thing, with BHLDN velvet dresses for the bridesmaids and a gorgeous backless lace dress and killer Sam Edelman shoes that created a romantic and luxe bohemian gathering that I was so dang lucky to be a part of.

I cried during the ceremony as the small A-frame chapel filled with powerful song. Everyone was swept up in the music, and it felt profound to bear witness. As I walked the aisle from back to front, the music got even louder and I swear I could feel it in my bones. It completely embodied the feeling of the day.

Katelyn & Drew, thank you, thank you, thank you for letting me capture this for you.

 

Jasmine + Lance | Discovery Park Couples Session

If I could design a dream session, it would include a super-in-love couple, a golden sunset, a vast field and a warm breeze.  This session delivered on EVERY. SINGLE. ITEM.  Jasmine & Lance are two Australians living in Seattle and to witness their love for each other was heart-melting and lovely.  I usually prompt my couples to create movement and moments of connection, but these two were so in tune sometimes it felt like I wasn't even there (and I mean that in the best possible way).  As a photographer, I feel it's my duty to capture the love and connection exactly as it is right now.  I don't want too many of "my" poses showing up -- it should be a reflection of you.  I hope you love the session as much as I do!

Marsa, Jerry & Kai | Woodland Seattle Family Session

Sometimes you don't have to drive hours and hours to get to the perfect location.  This lovely wooded spot is actually right in Mill Creek, WA.  It's one of my favorite spots to go for a walk or jog, and made for an awesome photo spot.  Close parking, short walk, whole thing said and done in just over an hour.  :)

I'm booking up fall spots for family photos now!  Please reach out for more information or to grab your time. 

 

Deception Pass Couple Session

Brittani and Connor are the ultimate sweet love story.  They met and started dating in high school, got married and moved to Seattle with the Navy.  Brittani has an amazing YouTube channel where she shares her experience as a military spouse and just life in general!  Connor gets on now and then too and it's so fun to watch their story.  Check it out here.

We headed out in some brutal Everett traffic but we made it to Deception Pass and guys -- NO ONE WAS THERE.  It was kind of crazy, because it was the Friday night of Memorial Day weekend.  I've been up there several times, but I've never had such free reign.  It was pretty amazing!  We wandered around the amazing park and my photographer heart was in heaven.  Such beautiful lighting and so many great spots to shoot.  My absolute favorite part of couple sessions is watching the couple unwind and play together -- the pressure falls away and you just get into this amazing groove and make beautiful images.  Heart meets art, for sure. 

Enjoy the session!  :)
