i see engagements ~ Aaron & Jamie

April 23, 2009 – 1:40 am

Monday felt like the first and best day of summer, giving me a great reminder of why I love Seattle! I met Jamie & Aaron down at the Kirkland waterfront, where about 1 million other people decided to come enjoy the sunshine. We quickly decided to hop in the car to find a waterfront area that wasn’t quite so crowded. We ended up near Bastyr University at Denny Park - the park has lots of lawn, a small beach and a gorgeous view of the mountain. This couple is so sweet to each other - I love the way Aaron looks at Jamie and how she seems to feel so safe in his arms. I’m really looking forward to their wedding next month - we had a ton of fun together. Here are just a few of my faves from our afternoon…

i see engagements ~ Marcela & Antonio

April 22, 2009 – 12:11 am

Sunday’s weather was gorgeous - we couldn’t have asked for a yummier day. I met Marcela & Antonio at the UW (Marcela’s alma mater) - they brought their sweet pup Maya to get in on some of the fun. What a cutie - she loves her mama & papa so much that she actually climbed one of the trees trying to get up there with them! After laying around in the grass for awhile, we headed into the Suzzallo library for a couple shots in the super cool (and quiet) study hall. We then hopped in the car and went on a whirlwind tour of the SODO district. We ended up behind the Franz bakery where we enjoyed an old train, grassy train tracks and the smell of baking bread - yum! Lastly, we cruised up to Golden Gardens where we caught the prettiest colors in the sky. I really had a ton of fun with this couple and honestly had the toughest time choosing which ones to post - here are a bunch of my faves…

Engagement ~ Desiree & Justin

April 11, 2009 – 9:32 pm

Desiree & Justin are so amazing with each other - calm, loving, gentle…I felt so mellow with them. The day was grey, but we had a lot of fun playing around the UW and the arboretum. I think my favorite moment was when Justin started to spin while holding Desiree and she let her arms go. Can’t wait ’till your day in May you guys - here are some of my faves from the day…

Engagement ~ Oani & Dean

April 7, 2009 – 2:41 pm

Saturday was really beautiful! I woke up expecting the rain/yuck that we’d been having and was so pleased to see the sun! I met Oani & Dean down at the Ballard Locks - we walked around the lawns and they danced down the little street there. We then piled in the car and headed down to the arboretum and spent a good chunk of time at the Japanese Garden. Not much is in bloom there yet, but what a beautiful place and what a gorgeous day! We ended our day at the Jolly Roger Taproom back in Ballard, but the place was so crowded that we decided to call it a night. I’m going to take that ‘rain check’ on having a drink with them soon! Oani and Dean are such a sweet couple - I’m really looking forward to their big day in October. Here are a few of my faves from the day…

Engagement ~ Jamie & Chris ~ Part Deux

March 22, 2009 – 9:15 pm

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!

Engagement ~ Jessica & Alex

March 18, 2009 – 8:52 pm

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…

Engagement ~ Margot & Adrian

March 6, 2009 – 1:44 am

After the rain had forced us to reschedule earlier, Monday’s bright sun and blue skies were so great to have for Margot & Adrian’s session. We met at the Museum of Glass in Tacoma and then headed down to the beach area to play around in the rocks. I had a lot of fun with this couple, who have been together for 14 years already. They are so comfortable with each other and with themselves. Thanks for a super fun day you guys - can’t wait for the wedding! Here are some of my faves from the day…

Engagement ~ Jamie & Chris

March 5, 2009 – 3:56 am

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…

Engagement ~ Katie & Rob

February 28, 2009 – 1:32 pm

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…

Engagement ~ Allison & Larin

February 22, 2009 – 4:30 pm

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…

save the date! ala ali alj alh
