I had so much fun with Alexa and Charlie at Discovery Park! It was a crisp fall day and the sun was out in Seattle! If you have never been to Discovery Park, its a wonderland of trails, trees, fields, sand, water and a light house to top it off. It has miles of trails to discover…..no pun intended! :) Its glorious in the summer and just as beautiful in the fall! I would recommend you get your scarf and hat, grab your doggy and head over for a saturday stroll through the trees, over the bluff and down to the water for lunch. This park absolutely shows off Seattle  and the Great Northwest in the most amazing way…..and it makes for some really fun engagement sessions! I can’t wait for these two to get married!! It will be an amazing day!!

If you are having a vintage inspired, DIY or winery wedding, I would love to hear from you!! Contact me via my Inquires Page and tell me all about your wedding and your story!!

I knew there was something special about Angelika & Ethan when we first met them up in Leavenworth at the Ski Hill to shoot their engagement photos. They are just kind, fun people…who happened to be in love with each other. They were game to climb hills of snow and stuff….so I knew they would be  wonderful to work with on their wedding day…and of course I was correct!

I loved starting out their day at a vacation home right on Hood Canal, called Sky’s Landing. It was full of light, right on the water and had a wonderful, but not overdone beachy theme. I loved it and pretty much could retire in that house without touching a thing. :) *** Brides!!!*** Angelika was a total genius when she booked this vacation home…you should think about doing it too! Find one on the water, somewhat close to your venue and you have a fabulous place for getting ready photos and somewhere for you and your girls to crash the night before the wedding, after the rehearsal dinner.( Another one of my amazing genius brides did this on Lopez Island and it worked like a charm for her as well! Check out her wedding her…one of my favorites from last summer!!! ) 
Not everyone in the world has a great “laughing face”…..but Angelika’s laughing face just lights up a room!!

I LOVED her bejeweled Betsy Johnson sandals…they say…comfy, without sacrificing style!
 I’m in love with the bridesmaid’s minty tiffany blue lace dresses! They were perfect for this outdoor wedding! I am in love with these gorgeous peony bouquets….summery and fun!  I’m so obsessed with local honey and all of its amazing benefits lately…I was so excited when I saw their darling and useful favors!! So fun!! 

If you are planning a wedding in the Walla Walla, Tri Cities or Lake Chelan Area, or (other eastern washington city!) I would love to talk more with you about your wedding day. I Love DIY weddings…and go gaga over all of the amazing little details that you go gaga over too! :) Send me your deets via my inquiries page and lets talk!!

Can the burst suggest an orchestral microprocessor?

We had a blast at Ilia & Aaron’s Lord Hill Farm Wedding! It was a fabulous day…lots of fun people, sunshine and blue skies! Here is a sneak peek from their wedding day! Lots of images to come!

Lets start with their Funbooth!! :)

One of the reasons we had such a great day, is that a few of our favorite wedding vendors were involved! Flowers by Tiffany did an incredible job on the flowers and Sarah and her team from EVENTful Moments did an amazing job bringing the whole thing together! Great people to work with!!

We had so much fun at Brooke & Tommy’s Hayden Lake Country Club Wedding in Hayden, Idaho. I love when destination weddings have a sentimental meaning to the bride and groom, and Hayden Lake is where the groom spent lots of time in the summers of his childhood. Hayden Lake Country Club was one of THE most unique and beautiful wedding venues we have been to in almost 10 years of shooting weddings! Not only was in a gorgeous setting, the dance floor was on a deck so close to the water. It had a very Northwest vibe and was classy and laid back at the same time.

I loved all of Brooke’s fun DIY details. Just some of my faves were:

• Peg board & clothes pin
• Succulent centerpieces
• Bunting for the center aisle
• Vintage wedding pics of family
• Polaroid guest book

And that is just a start! She did all of their flowers as well! I see a career in  wedding planning  in the future! :)

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! :)
