I’m such a sucker for love stories. I love to hear all the details…and Erika & Paul’s story is one of my favorite kind. The kind of love story where two people are “just friends” for years and years….and then finally one day…you look at each other and realize that you love hanging out with the other person and just can’t imagine life without them!  Sounds kinda like some kind of summer love movie plot…heck, I would go see that movie!! :)

I think I died when I saw Erika in the parking lot….is her dress not to die for?? Mod Cloth!! I love this dress….and this one! Anyway…then…she pulled her incredible beach cruiser + basket out of her truck and my heart skipped a beat! :) I want one of these soo stinkin bad! Crossing my fingers for mother’s day! :) Hint>>> Drew!

We had such a blast shooting their session…I am so thankful for clients that are willing to climb on railroad tracks and lay down in the grass!   Erika & Paul! I can’t wait for your wedding day!!

This is one of my favorite images from the day! :) Just so relaxed and takin in the sun!

Who can say hooray for Mexican Coke that has real sugar! My husband loves this stuff too!

If you are having a vintage, DIY and basically awesome wedding…I wanna hear all about it! I love shooting people in love….especially if they are creative! :) Email me at Kaylee@eylanderphotography.com

I got to hang out with Melanie & Jason (and little Lola, the French Bull Dog) a few weeks ago at the beach. What a gorgeous night! Howarth Park was beautiful and it was a perfect evening for an engagement shoot!

These two are seriously meant for each other. They both have a great sense of humor and are pretty fun to hang out with. I happen to shoot one of their friends weddings (these guys) and I loved that Jason was on the dance floor cuttin a rug…and along comes Melanie, right along with him in all of the madness! She jumped right in there with him…and I loved it!

How they met: Hangin out at the Conway Pub!

Their Wedding: These two are getting married in Eastern Washington (YES! I shoot in Eastern Washington…I just love the sunshine!) and its going to be pretty epic! I cannot wait!!

I don’t really know why…but I love when you can see how highly a person regards another…with just the way they look at their loved one….for an example, see below! :)

This pretty much sums up the night. 

She was only able to hold a straight face for about 1 second…then of course Jason said something to crack her up! 

Spider.

One of my favorite shots of the night! Worth laying in the grass for! :)

Camp Grande….a gorgeous place! I don’t know who I need to call to become a member…but this place is so cool! Its a little hidden gem out there on Camano Island….and Courtney just happens to be a member. I am so happy she shared it with me! Right on Puget sound…it has a lovely little pier and tons of beach. We were so lucky to get some sunshine in October!

Can you imagine how excited I was when they pulled up in this amazing black Chevelle? I think I screamed!

I absolutely cannot wait for their wedding next summer! Its going to be fabulous!

In my 8 years of shooting weddings and engagement sessions…every singe time…I always ask how the bride and groom met. I always want to hear that story…and watch what happens when people light up as they tell me the juicy details. There is always two sides to a story and I loved it when I asked how Nicole and Austin met….they both had their version!

How they met: Apparently, they went to high school together and didn’t even know each other. He said she was the popular girl in ASB planning the assemblies….that he didn’t even remember attending.  She friended him on Facebook after highschool…the threw out a invite to drinks on Thanksgiving…and she took him up on it…and they have been inseparable ever since.

Their Relationship: I love to see when couples get each other…and don’t try to change them into something else. I love that she knows he’s a fisherman/hunter type and that she just enjoys snuggling in the covers in the wee hrs of the morning when Austin gets up to go duck hunting.  I love that she is happy that he is a fire fighter. I love that he wants her to be girly. Its a good thing.

Their Engagement Session: We headed to one of my favorite places on earth…Kayak Point! I love all that this gorgeous beach has to offer…and their chocolate lab loved jumping the water…fetching.

Their Wedding: I can’t wait for their wedding at Hidden Meadows! When Nicole started talking about the green Depression glass centerpieces and pink peonies that she will be using…eeek! I just can’t help but get super excited!!! Yay!!

How could you not just love this sweet face! He was so funny and totally took over our session…when he wanted a little attention, he buzzed me while I was shooting! :) So cute!

I love relaxed, chill people…I feel like they just take the world in and enjoy it alittle more than those worrying about whats happening next, or what if, what if, what if. Will & Whitney are two of those kind of people. Chill, relaxed and just enjoying the adventure of life.

How they met: Both of their family’s moved from Snohomish to Camano Island the same year…and then they met when their gym classes played softball against each other. I love it!  Its amazing to me the small things that have to happen in order for two people to meet, fall in love and get married.

How he proposed: Will waited for the perfect moment. He proposed to Whitney at 7 in the morning when she was still in her bath towel. In my mind…thats pretty chill.

Their Relationship: He has a sneaky little grin on his face half the time…like he’s planning something, and she loves it. They are kind, thoughtful and they even gave the balloons they brought with them to my daughter…who is still playing with them a week later. They are just great people.

Their Engagement Session: We hung out on a beautiful evening at Kayak Point…one of my absolute favorite locations to shoot at! It has a great pier, sand, driftwood and some pretty cool buildings. I love that Whitney brought some super fun colorful balloons! :)

Their Wedding: On a ranch in Eastern Washington (yesssss SUN!!!!) and their colors are turqoiuse, white and cream. I am so stinking excited! Turquoise, a ranch, the sun and two people that love each other….a wedding day doesn’t get any better than that in my humble opinion!
