Engagement ~ Jamie & Chris ~ Part Deux

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 ~ Allison & Larin

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…

~Heather & Reid ~

Last Sunday, I met Heather & Reid for their engagement session at the University of Washington.  Reid went to the UW, so we made sure that we took some of their photos near the Roberts Building (his old stomping grounds).  Although a little nervous at first, this couple soon relaxed and were willing to be goofy with each other and to let the “PDA” flow freely!  After a nice walk around campus, we headed over to Gasworks Park.  The park was packed, but the day was SO gorgeous.  As the sun began to set, I asked if we could make a run down to Golden Gardens to play with some flare….we got great flare and Heather & Reid are an awesome couple to work with - can’t wait ’till your wedding next year you guys!

Alex & Jessica ~ on the move

I had so much fun with A & J in taking their engagement photos this past Sunday. They had just packed their moving van to start their relocation to Reno, NV but were totally ready to take a quick trip downtown and over to Alki to catch the sunset with me! We started at the Market and Post Alley where we found lots of little alcoves and benches for them to smooch on (yay for PDA!), went to the bubble gum wall for some bubble blowing and walked along the market front to catch some amazing sun flare. We then hopped in the car and made it to Alki for a view of the skyline and a stroll on the sand. On the way back home we stopped in the SODO where Alex had earlier seen a street sign with “Nevada” on it - how appropriate for their last night in town. We were only there a moment though before a very nice security guard came along to shoo us off (we were a little close to the customs storage units apparently). The three of us are now bonded forever since we escaped the ‘po po’ together! I’m so happy to have met them and look forward to their wedding here next summer - thanks for a great evening Alex & Jessica!!
