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!

A Few Peeks
Ross & Emily {Seattle Wedding Photography}
After their soggy engagement session, Ross & Emily deserved a beautiful day for their July wedding – and they got it. However, they had something else to overcome: massive food poisoning. Yep. Three days before, Ross & his best man had gotten violently sick from some bad fast food… and they stayed sick. When Kevin & I arrived to meet up with them at Occidental Park, the best man was still MIA and not sure he could make it at all; as of that morning he was on day four of fever, chills & and vomiting.Ugh.
Let me tell you – this was the most impressive groom & groomsman we’ve encountered yet.
In spite of being clearly miserable, neither Ross nor his best man complained to us about anything. Skin tone a bit paler than normal, they propped themselves up and soldiered on all day long, guzzling Gatorade and Pedialite and munching saltines. And instead of giving in to what could have easily been a day-ruiner, this wedding was a beautiful success! Set at Ross & Emily’s favorite restaurant (Portage Bay Cafe) and decorated simply with arrays of dainty purple flowers, the food was divine and the company delightful. Everyone had a grand time, no one vomited all day (I think), and by the end of the night the new Mr and Mrs were off to celebrate & recover on their honeymoon.
This is how the poor guys ACTUALLY felt.
They put on a pretty good face, yeah?

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!

Matt & Jazzy {Bellingham Engagement Photography}
Matt & Jazzy are one of those SUPER cute couples that the rest of us normal people just stare at in awe. Along with that, I personally was also pretty impressed that Jazzy showed up in stilettos for the first half of the session; she walked all over Western’s campus in those things, and looked awesome doing it!! It was an amazingly sunny day in June when we met up with them and as usual Western didn’t disappoint with all of the cool nooks & crannies there are to play in.
If your comments were candy, I’d eat them all day.
Ross & Emily {Seattle Engagement Photography}
We met Ross & Emily for their engagement session at the simply amazing Volunteer Park in Seattle. That place is FABulous – for one thing, it goes on forever, so you never run out of more places to go. Plus it’s absolutely gorgeous and full of trees, flowers and cool structures like the brick stage & gigantic brick tower. So on a drizzly day in June, we braved the wetness and paraded ourselves around the park. (One plus on a rainy day: you’ve got the whole place to yourselves!)
Leave a little love!
Mark & Karyn {Seattle Engagement Photography}
Back in June we got to hang out with Mark & Karyn at Deception Pass for their engagement session. It was awesome – THEY were awesome! And it was a perfect day, too: the clouds held off just long enough for us to play around before unleashing, which makes for killer cloud shots.
Their wedding aboard the Lady Liberty (also known as the HMS Interceptor from the Pirates of the Caribbean movie) was even more awesome… you’ll definitely want to come back and check that out.
I love to hear your thoughts!
Jake & Talitha {Snohomish Wedding Photography}
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??!

Kevin & Sara {vancouver wedding photography}
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??

Steven & Whitney {bellingham engagement photography}
Steven & Whitney are an amazing couple. They’ve gone through a lot together in the last few years, and you can tell as soon as they look at each other that they’re completely, deeply in love. Not the mamby-pamby kind of love, either – this is the real stuff. We got to spend the afternoon at Semiahmoo with them for their engagement session.
Leave a little love of your own!

Love & Lemons {destination wedding photography}
This post will be a bit limited: for reasons of military security, we cannot show identifying images of the groom, and we’re going to avoid much specific information.
In May, we flew out to be a part of this beautiful lemon-and-lime themed wedding. As we had only communicated with the bride & groom via phone and email at this point, we got together the day before the wedding for their “engagement” session – really just an excuse to hang out and get to know each other. Totally had a blast! They wanted to avoid the typical beach shots, so we stuck with the wedding theme and played around in a local lemon grove. The next morning, we headed off to the hotel and the big day was off & running! Even with the priest getting caught in traffic -WITHOUT a cell phone- and thus being an hour and a half late to the ceremony (talk about wedding day stress!), the day was beautiful. The bride wore a breathtaking backless gown, the weather was sunny and hot, and the party was fabulous!
And then comes the wedding…..
