I look forward to every Brookstom Creek Wedding I get to photograph, but this one in particular really had me itching for September to arrive. Mariah and Kasey are two of the sweetest people you’ll meet, and I was honored to be chosen to stand by their side. I couldn’t have picked a sweeter couple…
If you’ve hung around here much, you’ll know I’ve been married twice. The first time was in 2007 and the second in October 2018. You wouldn’t believe how much the wedding planning process has changed in 11 years. Quick & Simple Wedding Planning In 2007 the planning process felt much different. Putting together a wedding…
On Monday, October 14th, the all-inclusive Monte Cristo Ballroom abruptly closed the business down leaving couples without a wedding. The heartbreaking chaos of the last few days for these couples included scrambling and changing their wedding plans and/or dates. In an amazing effort, the wedding community has banded together to help these couples reinvent their…
One of my favorite things about Brookstom creek is it’s versatility. The location itself holds more of a rustic charm, but with a bit of creativity (and extra helping hands) you can create a luxurious feel to the blank canvas. Cori and Stephen’s wedding is a prime example: think Joanna Gaines meets Seattle’s Sodo. Not…
What happens when you combine peanut butter, bacon and everyone’s favorite King of Rock? Boss Mama’s Kitchen and the Elvis Burger happen. On a recent date night with my husband, we ran into Jen with Boss Mama’s Kitchen and got a taste of her fantastic eats! I knew I’d want to find the truck again,…
I feel like I could talk about fate for every single wedding this year. As luck would have it, Krystyn and Scott’s wedding was another fateful moment in the books. Krystyn and Scott originally married a few years ago. At the time, they couldn’t afford the big wedding Krystyn dreamed of, so they put it…
A mountain elopement with a bride in a black dress? Yes please. I fully, one hundred and ten percent believe in fate. People are brought into our lives for many reasons, one being to show us the way to our true selves. Every wedding this year has been that way for me. Keira and Wade’s…
Networking has been a major factor in my business, and I met Korrine online through a local networking group. The funny part of this story is when she messaged me through IG, because there was a woman at her kid’s school who looked just like me. Low and behold, our kids DO go to the…
Always on the hunt for AMAZING PIZZA? If your answer is yes, I got you boo. Today we’re chatting with Sirius Wood Fired Pizza. I was honored to meet owners Holly & Chuck Preble at the January 2019 Tacoma Wedding Show. Lucky for me, my booth was placed right next to theirs, which helped out…
Every bride wants their best friend by their side and this Brookstom Creek Wedding was no different. Vibing was easy with Megan, like finding your number one soul sister! When she introduced me to Don, he was hesitant to trust me (after all, I was the photographer and he wasn’t thrilled about photos) but even…
