Barnstar in Ferndale is one of my favorite wedding venues, and we haven’t been able to photograph a wedding there since pre-covid days; so I was really excited to be able to join Joe and Katie there for their big day.

“You. Me. Us. We.” Those were the vows that Ben & Alison exchanged on this perfect crisp fall day, as their close friends and family looked on.

I really can’t tell you enough how in love I was with this wedding-on-a-ferry thing – please can we do this again?? Okay, I supposed it helped that Nate & Nikki are the cutest couple to ever get in front of a camera. No joke. Half the time I didn’t do anything but stand there…

Kris + Angileen {Norway Park Wedding Photography}

We were so excited to be a part of Kris & Angileen’s wedding; not only because they’re clearly the cool kids, but also because they got married at the same place that Kevin & I met at as googly-eyed almost-teenagers so many years ago. Norway Park in Mt Vernon is a private campground, and it so happens…

Jesse + Megan {Bellingham Backyard Wedding Photography}

A guest this evening summed up Megan & Jesse in a single observation: “I have never met a man and a woman with such identical personalities in my entire life.” Two people who are magnetic, tough, strong, sacrificial, gentle and hilarious in all the same places; yes, they are truly a unique couple. And they poured…
