I know I’ve said it a zillion times before, but I really never knew what love was until I met her. We played in the yard today and had big fun.
You’ll remember Jamie & Chris very well - they were the couple that was willing to get frozen at the beach and totally soaked in the rain. Well, the heavens took pity on us yesterday for our ‘2nd half’ down at the Mukilteo Lighthouse. It was almost warm actually - crazy right?! Jamie & Chris are having a Vegas theme to their wedding reception - they made the coolest personalized chips and were totally willing to chuck them at me. 
After goofing around at the Lighthouse for awhile, we headed down to the beach for some sweet sun flare. Can’t wait ’till May you guys - here are some faves from the day!
As we were getting ready to call it a day, the awesome Jen Wade saw a heart in the shadow of the dock hardware - had to shoot it!
You may remember Jessica & Alex - this couple moved to Reno the day after our first engagement session together. They came up this past weekend for their respective ‘bachelor/ette’ parties and to finalize other wedding plans. We got together in the hopes of taking some additional e-photos down in Tacoma. Well, with the psycho weather that we’ve had lately, we decided to keep our time together more local and headed over to Volunteer Park. We got to spend just a couple minutes in the Atrium as they were closing up for the day. We wandered over to the camel statues and when Alex kissed Jess on the stairs, a group of young skater boys gave them some cat calls - too funny. We then hopped in the car and headed over to the Luna Park Cafe’ in West Seattle for some yummy milkshakes before dropping them off at the airport. I love spending time with this couple - they are so much fun and always ready to try anything. Can’t wait ’till your big day in July you guys! Here are a few of my faves from the afternoon…
Last Saturday was an amazing day in so many ways. We had rain, snow and sunshine all within a six hour period. I also got to spend the day with a couple that is so sweet and fun. Gene & Jess are so in love with each other and their family and friends are so happy for them. I don’t think I’ve been around that many smiles earlier than 10 a.m. ever before! I arrived just before 9 at Palisade, where Gene & Jess were getting their room decoration completed with their family. A slide show of photos from their life together so far (and lots of childhood photos) was playing on a large screen (I love crazy 80’s hair pics!). Jessica and her ladies got ready together and her mom came in near the end to watch. Her father was taking photos with his cell phone to send instant pics to some family that couldn’t attend. The snow flurries started just as the bridal party was ready to enter the ceremony, which was short but very sweet. The breakfast reception was delicious - eggs benedict, yummy potatoes and crispy bacon (a personal fave). Their first dance was really touching - I saw Jessica’s parents holding hands while they watched their daughter and her new husband - very emotional and sweet. The reception ended with a ‘bubble exit’ and with all of the kids present, there were a TON of bubbles! I asked Gene if he and Jess would blow some bubbles together - Gene thought blowing in her ear would be better (love his humor!) After the guests left, the bridal party and I headed out by the marina for some fun and then Gene, Jess & I headed all the way down to the end of the marina where they were willing to go down on the rocks for some pretty photos near the water. I hope that the hypothermia has worn off by now and that the happy couple is getting ready for the big honeymoon. Thank you so much for having me be a part of your day Jess & Gene - you guys are amazing. Here are a few of my faves from the day…
I had an amazing time at the Palisade today with Jess & Gene - in uploading their files, I just had to pull this one out for instant upload. The afternoon was beautiful - I just bumped the contrast on this - the rest was the day and this couple’s awesomeness.
I’ll blog more of their day soon.

So it rained on Sunday…hard rain. I thought we were going to have to reschedule our session, but this awesome couple were totally willing to get soaked! I met Jamie & Chris in Edmonds and after a quick S’bucks run, we headed down to Edmonds beach where all of us kicked our shoes off and froze in addition to getting rained upon. I’m sure I looked like a crazy woman with an umbrella balanced inside my shirt so I could keep the gear dry and have both of my hands. After rolling around in the sand, we headed over to the play area for some slip ‘n slide fun. We’re definitely going to meet up again soon to add a little blue sky to their collection, but I had a TON of fun playing in the rain with these two super cool lovebirds. Thanks for the fun you guys and I hope you can feel your toes again :) Here are some of my faves…
Last Saturday evening, the Sorrento Hotel was a beautiful setting for Amy & Derek’s equally beautiful wedding. I met Amy, her sister Katie and Amy’s sweet daughter Haley in their room late in the afternoon. Hair and makeup was done before they got to the hotel, so there was time for a fun champagne toast before the ladies got dressed. I was blessed with the awesome assistance of Jen Wade who went down to focus on details while I hung out with the ladies. Amy’s dress was so beautiful and I loved the other dresses she chose for Katie and Haley - very classy. Derek and Amy didn’t see each other until Amy walked down the aisle, but he was so sweet to send Amy an ‘I love you’ text while she was getting ready. After taking some individual family portraits, the ceremony began. Annemarie, their officiant, was so GREAT - she was so relaxed and warm. Amy and Derek presented Haley with a beautiful necklace which was really touching (not a dry eye in the house during that one!) After the ceremony, the new family and I headed downstairs for some portraits while the cocktail hour got underway. Dinner smelled yummy and the cake tasted great! I have really enjoyed getting to know this couple and can’t wait to hear how the honeymoon went!
Venue ~ Sorrento Hotel
Officiant ~ Annemarie Juhlian
Flowers/Cake ~ Dana’s Flowers & Cake
So I had a crazy cold, snow laden, sinking in the mud, dog poop smeared, but SUPER fun-filled day with Katie & Rob early this week. I totally love this couple - Katie and I hit it off straight away and Rob is totally one of the funniest ‘road ragers’ I’ve ever met. We started our day at the Arboretum - it had snowed the night before and so we had a little bit of snow left on the ground, but we also had mud soup to slosh through. They were such great sports for everything - they even had a little glove-less snowball fight for me! We then headed up to Edmonds where they live and stopped by their house to play with their sweet pup Bristol for a few moments before heading down to the Edmonds Marina. Bristol decided to step in a pile of her finest and then jump up to anoint me with it - I believe in dog terms it means I’m part of the family now. After a quick clean up, we headed down to the water for a quick stroll by the ferry and then we headed up to Rob’s favorite sports bar for some happy hour libation and grub. I really had a great day with these guys - so glad to have met you both and can’t wait for your big day in June! Here are some of my faves from our fun time…

Brayden’s mom, Mel & I met in the pediatrician’s office when he was one month old. I came over to their house not long after to take newborn photos and since have met with their family for six month and one year photos. So for Bray’s 18 month photo, my Lily (who is in love with Brayden by the way) got in on the fun. I am so blessed to have met this little dude and to have become such great and fast friends with his mommy. I love this kid - doesn’t he have the most amazing eyes!?!

Ali & Larin are such a sweet couple - I love it when a pair seem to really ‘get’ each other. We started our day at Gasworks Park - it was so bright and everyone was out to enjoy the sun! We then headed down to Ballard for some play at the locks and the beach. Their pup, Maggie got to join us - what a sweet girl and a very patient ’save the date’ wearer! We made it down to the beach for the sunset and also had some yummy ice cream at Little Coney - best root beer float I’ve had in a long time! Thanks for a super fun day Ali & Larin - can’t wait for the ‘big day’! Here are a few of my faves from the afternoon…
