Engagement Session at Discovery Park

Published August 18th, 2008

I met up with Lindsey and Brett bright and early for an engagement session at Discovery Park. These guys are getting married in New Orleans but wanted to their engagement session out here while they were in town. Brett insisted on nothing cheesy, which turned out to be just about everything! They were both full of laughter and it was easy to capture their playful nature. Thank you guys, I am going to miss out on your wedding! I am sure it will be beautiful.

Engagement Session at Pikes Place Market

Published August 8th, 2008

Diana works in downtown Seattle so it was just a simple jaunt to Pikes Place Market to meet up with Aaron for their engagement session. We started by grabbing a bundle of flowers (so pretty!) and then hit Post Alley and then we finished with my favorite shot of the public market sign.

Marlo and Dillon Engagement - Arboretum Seattle

Published July 1st, 2008

Marlo and Dillon went to the arboretum on their first date and a little later Dillon proposed in a small clearing of the park. We set out to create some casual, spontaneous images of Marlo and Dillon while incorporating some of the elements of the park that are special to them. We spent a lot of time playing in the summer grass and walking along the paths. We even found a small pond for Marlo and Dillon to cool their feet. These guys are planning a destination wedding to Mexico next Spring! Congratulations!

Melanie and Derek Engagement — Olympic Sculpture Park Seattle

Published June 27th, 2008

Melanie and Derek chose to have their engagement pictures done at the Olympic Sculpture Park in Seattle with a few hints from me. Derek’s little son came along and I wanted to include him in just about every picture because he was just so cute. I don’t think we will have any troubles on the wedding day! Congrats on your engagement and I look forward to capturing your special day.

Brenda and Paul Wedding - Sunset Hill Community Club

Published June 19th, 2008

Brenda and Paul were married on Saturday at the Sunset Hill Community Club. I was amazed by the love and support of so many many friends and family there who helped pull the event together. Even Brenda’s elderly mother was able to join them. We started out at Ballard Locks for photographs of the bridal party and Brenda and Paul. It was a brilliantly bright day. Brenda’s love for children was evident with the choir of small children that sang during their ceremony. Paul’s son was a great DJ with some pretty fancy equipment. Such a beautiful and wonderful day and you can see in the faces of Brenda and Paul.

Check out Brenda and Paul’s registery. Thank you to friends and family who have send gifts to Brend and Paul.

Seattle Arboretum Engagement Session — Grace and John

Published June 2nd, 2008

Grace and John are planning a wedding at the University Presbyterian Church with a reception at the Woodmark Hotel in August. I can’t wait because they’re going to depart the reception on a boat! How cool!

We met up at the Arboretum today and had a great time walking around. Grace and John live in different states out East, so I hadn’t had a chance to meet these guys until today. They are such a fun, energetic couple and I am already starting to envision their wedding images. Grace told me that John spent hours looking through hundreds of photographers to find me, so I feel pretty privileged to be a part of their wedding. In the brief time I spent with them I could feel the love these two share. It’s beautiful! I am amazing that they are able to continue a long distance relationship until their wedding.

Here are a few images. Congratulations you guys!
