I love the Northwest! Specifically, I love the beauty and the diversity our natural surroundings. Hood Canal exemplifies this beauty perfectly. There you find everything from mountains to forrest to gorgeous beaches and waters. I was thrilled when Natalie and JB told me their wedding was to be held at the Inn at Port Ludlow. It is a beautiful property set on the water with incredible views in every direction. It was such and honor to witness Natalie and JB’s love and affection for each other as they were married, surrounded by their closet friends and family. Take a look at the real story of their day below. Congratulations Natalie and JB!

ROBIN & RYAN | ENGAGEMENT | GOLDEN GARDENS & BALLARD | SEATTLE, WA

Adjectives: Playful, Loving, Open, Dramatic, Funny, and Real.

I had a great time working with Robin and Ryan. The day of their engagement session was the first time we had ever met in person, and after about 10 minutes they felt like old friends. I’m super excited for their wedding at the University of Washington next summer. The session started at Golden Gardens before we headed to downtown Ballard to capture a few more images and have a glass of wine. For me engagement sessions are not just about getting some great images, they are a way for my clients to get more comfortable in front of the camera and to know what to expect the day of the wedding. Check out my favorites and their slideshow below!

When I first met Jennifer and Jeff I knew we would have a great time shooting their wedding. In working with them you could really see how much they love each other and how loved they are by their friends and family. The morning started with some clouds as we arrived at the Cedarbrook Lodge. After capturing a few getting ready images the clouds parted just in time for their ceremony. It was an emotional ceremony filled with some really fun and beautiful moments. Their reception started with a gorgeous performance from Jennifer’s belly dancing teacher and then the party began. Take a look at a few of my favorites and thier slideshow below. Congratulations Jennifer and Jeff!
