This day was one for the books. First of all, Kevin & I drove through SNOW -in April- on our way down to Seattle. When we met Marc & Paula at their hotels, the sun was just starting to peek out, and by the time we were wrapping up pictures with the party, there were … Continue reading »

Matt & Mackenna’s downtown Kirkland wedding was superb on all counts. Everyone was laughing the whole day, all of the details – from the converse shoes to the glass coke bottles – were gorgeous, and you really couldn’t ask for a cuter couple.

Katie works for the Everett Aquasox, so it was only natural that we take full advantage of that fact during her and Timias’ engagement session. SO cool!

Converse, sunflowers, cupcakes and frisbee – Andrew & Hanna’s wedding at Hovander Park this weekend was a picnic party to remember!

Well, we’re finally recovered from this weekend’s wedding festivities in beautiful Denver, Colorado… mostly. Between the rehearsal, wedding, late night after-party, two-part trash the dress session and late-night hangouts with old friends, by the time we got home I was so exhausted that I fell directly into bed and slept for 13 hours! Now THAT’S … Continue reading »
We met Lance & Brynn for the first time on Tuesday, and that Sunday we were hanging out again for engagement photos. These guys don’t waste any time!

Popcorn, shaved ice, ring toss, giant balloons… oh yeah, sounds like a wedding to me. Larry & Kelley’s EPIC vintage carnival-themed backyard wedding turned out amazingly on Saturday.

Me: “Does Cody ever just… walk next to you and hold your hand?” Kyla: “Nope, not really. He always has to climb things.” That might sound strange & unromantic, but it’s not – that’s just how it is for Cody & Kyla. Cody is a parkour enthusiast, and everywhere he goes he simply HAS to … Continue reading »

I can’t say enough good things about Jason & Tracy. Aside from being really, really ridiculously good looking, they’re one of the most genuine, open and accommodating couples I have ever met in my life. They went out of their way to make sure that all of their guests had the time of their lives … Continue reading »

SO CUTE, SO FUN!! Best way to describe these two. My cheeks seriously hurt after hanging out with Chris & Rachel at Lake Padden for their engagement session.
