So....you just got engaged! Congrats! You are super excited, telling your friends and family, enjoying the moment...then it hits you like a ton of bricks....AHHHH!!!! I have to plan a wedding! Did you know that more couples get engaged over the holidays than any other time of the year? So #1, you are not alone! #2 There are definitely a few things you need to do right away!:) #3...But don't freak out! Because this time of the year is the busiest wedding booking season for a lot of wedding vendors, its important for you to start thinking about what kind of wedding you would like to have. If you don't stop to visualize and make a plan, you are going to be grasping at straws and in the end, your wedding will be less cohesive. If you start with an overall theme...your wedding will express exactly what you want it

Heather Loves Kenny! Emp & Pike Place Engagement Session
December 17, 2010There is something about Seattle that is just so photogenic. If its not the Space Needle...in all of its futuristic glory, or the massively fun and massively disgusting gum wall. I don't know whether to love it, or to hate it....but I do know that its colorful...and makes for a memorable image. :) There is the amazing purple and blue walls of color at EMP (one of my absolute favorite places to shoot!!!)...with its piped in music...makes for a fun session. I used to think I was a city girl. Don't get me wrong, I HEART Seattle....but I'm still a country girl at heart. I love to go to the city....but nothing is better than having my own parking spot...in my garage. I don't think I will ever be able to give that up. At least I know myself....
