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?

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!!
