Snow. lots of snow.

And…lots of fun people when we finally arrived at Washington Family Ranch in Antelope, Oregon. If you know where Antelope is..you get a gold star. I think the population is 50. people. Washington Family Ranch is a blow your mind, amazing Young Life Camp in Eastern Oregon….(check out the waterslides here).

Its a long story, mostly about my husband being an amazing driver…driving us 6+ hours so we could photograph this wedding….and then 5 hours home after the wedding.

But…when you take a peek at these images, you will see that it was all worth it! :)

These two are in love and their friends were totally ridiculous and fun…and it was such a great time.

Here’s a little sneak peek from their super duper snowy wedding day!

Amy & Nolan’s Wedding Funbooth was such a blast! It included a Golden Pig from Pike Place Market! Very classic Seattle!! :)

Just a sneak peek of my last lovely fall engagement session in Kirkland! These two are super fun, super in love and I can’t wait for their destination wedding in sunny Eastern Washington! At one of my very favorite places…Sunserra at Crescent Bar!!

Crescent Bar is one of my favorite places because its there at Crescent Bay Resort, that late one night, as the summer sun was going down, my daughter finally learned to swim. We had been working on it for a few months and it just clicked! She put her face in the water and basically hasn’t gotten up since! ( not really, but figuratively! She swims so much that we call her Tadpole!).

Anyway…back to Courtney and Jeff’s Story! They met a years ago, then met again 4 years later on a fun weekend in San Diego…and the rest is kind of history.

We took a stroll around the waterfront in Kirkland and it was a blast! I loved that these two love to run together and we got to capture that as well!

This is one of my favorite places in Kirklnad! I LOVE LOVE LOVE this dock! Luckily for us, because it was fall, and not in the middle of summer, this place was kind of a ghost town compared to what it would normally be on a nice sunny day in the summertime!  

I just love images that scream “I’m Home!”

Here is just a teeny tiny sneak peek from a fabulously chevrony elegant, but not stuffy wedding we got to be a part of in Seattle in the Atrium Loft  above  Pike Place Market! One of the most unique views of the Pike Place Market sign I have ever seen…and I had no idea it was even there! The rain didn’t have anything on us that day…I mean…It wouldn’t be a Seattle Pike Place Market wedding without a few rain drops, right??

I was just dying over the cool wood paneled walls in the Goodwin Library. Amy warned me….that I would love the walls and the light in the place…and of course, she was so right!!! I walked in and was in awe of the cool view, the walls and the amazing light coming in through all of the gorgeous windows! She knew what she was talking about!

So, here are just a few of my favorite images from just after the first look! Lots more of these to come!!

I can honestly saw that when I chatted with Jessen’s mom on the phone about a year ago, I knew this wedding was going to be a fun one! She told me about Lakedale Resort on San Juan Island, all of the fun details that Jess and Freddy were planning and just how much fun they were. well..once again, I was blown away. The beauty of San Juan Island was incredible, but these people were seriously fun and inlove!

We had some out of the ordanary  things happen on this wedding day…and these two weathered all of them like champs! Just to name a few:

• Bees were swarming the beach at the American Camp beach where Freddy & Jess were going to do their first look…and we didn’t have the epi pen that we needed for Jess. She was so brave!
• We were photo bombed by a total stranger, about .5 seconds after Freddy saw Jess for the first time at the First Look! Luckily, after the whole wedding party and family hollered at him…he got the hint and wondered off!
• There were multiple bees in the bride’s veil and Drew fought them off like a warrior!
• Their sweep pup had some doo-doo issues. I will leave it at that.

They also had some amazing DIY wedding details that I was so excited about! Some of my favorites were:

• Random glass bottles wrapped with twine for centerpiece vases
• Fleece blankets wrapped with string for wedding favors for guests
• Torn fabric garland with random photos of the bride & groom hanging around the reception tent
• driftwood directional signs and handmade wedding arch

Here’s part one of their creative and special wedding day!
