There’s still a lot of mad-dashering going on around here, but I thought it would be fun to give you a peek at a few things that I’m currently working on!

Ben and Sarah are adorable. Of course, we already knew that from their engagement session… but their wedding day was so happy and smiley all around, they just reached a whole new level of couple cuteness!
Our last June wedding, they had perfect weather for playing around at the beach; which is exactly what we did immediately following the afternoon reception with the new bride & groom and their party. An amazing day all around! I love that we get to be there to capture wedding stories like this one.
This was so funny – they got bored dancing to their first song, so they invited the kids to join them & finish it out.
Leave your congratulations for the happy couple!
After we’d met with them for their engagement session, we knew that Jake & Talitha’s wedding was going to be an amazing one. Surrounded by their closest friends & family (and with son Luke at the alter!), these two became Mr & Mrs on a perfect June afternoon at the Anthea Ballroom in downtown Snohomish. And dinner? Chinese “takeout” from their favorite restaurant! How totally awesome is that??!
I had THE hardest time narrowing down which images to choose for this blog post! One of our favorite weddings of 2011, Kevin & Sara set their wedding at the beautiful Harrison Hot Springs in British Columbia. It was the ultimate garden wedding, with every vintage chic detail even more awesome than the one before. Not only are Kevin & Sara a gorgeous couple, they also happen to be a total kick in the pants! We laughed our way through the entire day.
Whadd’ya think??
Larry & Kelley can be summed up in one word… okay maybe two: COMPLETELY AWESOME. They love vintage; they ARE vintage. Seriously, they may have dolled up a bit for the engagement session, but this is them all over! Kelley, along with being a bartender, is a photographer; together with her sister, she covers weddings as Hand in Hand Photography (now Kim Nelson photography). Larry, in addition to being a barista, is the front man for his band Poke da Squid. To say the least, they’re busy people! We had the best time with them when they came up from Seattle for their engagement session in May, and I absolutely cannot WAIT for their vintage carnival-themed backyard wedding this July!! (Yeah, did you hear that – vintage backyard carnival. SWEET!)
Leave your comments, vintage style.
(no, I’m not sure what that means either!)
Alright, so this wasn’t exactly “trash” the dress session… as Samantha (aka Sam) said, it was a “love the dress” session! To be fair, we really were going to trash it initially – jump in Whatcom Falls, find some good mud, go for a hike…. but then, well…. it’s such a pretty dress! She just couldn’t do it.
So instead, we went around the back alleys of Bellingham on a SWEET after-session.
And Sam DID climb into a dumpster.
Jon & Sam spent lots of time watching sunrises & sunsets while Sam was in school at Western. We drove aaaaall the way up to the top of Chukanut hoping to catch a good sunset from the spot where they’d hung out often… but there wasn’t even a hint of color that night.
Oh well – we were up there, so we played with what we had!
Jake, Talitha and Luke are the epitome of an adorable family. They came up in May for their engagement/family session and I don’t think that we stopped smiling the entire time! Luke is a fricken DOLL, and so much his own little man. And I love seeing adoration like Jake & Talitha have for each other; I seriously have the best job in the entire world.
Please, leave your comments for us!
The same day that we got to hang out with Josh, we also go to follow his friend Erick around for HIS senior portraits. It was really fun seeing how two completely different personalities brought out different aspects of the same space; downtown Kirkland is fabulous for both urban and natural settings!
