Bremerton Engagement Session | Caitlin + Kurt Engaged!
Driving through Kitsap, I’ve dreamed of photographing a Bremerton engagement session. This sweet little town is nestled in the heart of the Pacific Northwest and features one of the prettiest ferry dock areas in Washington. The first time I visited there, was during our 2018 birthday weekend when we decided a ferry ride into Seattle was the perfect way to end our mini-road trip. This time, Bremerton served as the picturesque backdrop for Caitlin and Kurt’s unforgettable engagement session.
As a husband-and-wife photography team, we at Markie Jones Photography LLC have had the pleasure of capturing countless love stories, but Caitlin and Kurt’s journey stands out as a perfect blend of creativity, logic, and laughter. From the moment we met them at the Tacoma Wedding Show, we knew their engagement session would be nothing short of magical. Join us as we delve into the details of their special day, exploring the meaningful locations and cherished memories that made this Bremerton engagement session a true reflection of their love.
Meeting Caitlin and Kurt
When we first crossed paths with Caitlin and Kurt at the Tacoma Wedding Show, it was as if the universe had aligned to bring us together. Caitlin, an enthusiastic orchestra teacher with a passion for melodies, and Kurt, a meticulous electrical engineer with a penchant for precision, were a dynamic duo that instantly resonated with us. Their personalities complemented each other perfectly, and it was clear that their love story was one worth documenting. As we chatted about their vision for their engagement session, it became evident that they wanted to capture their love in a way that was authentic and true to their journey together.
A Personal Touch at Their Favorite Park
One of the most rewarding aspects of engagement photography is witnessing the genuine connection between couples and the places that hold significance in their lives. For Caitlin and Kurt, this meant starting their Bremerton engagement session at a park just a stone’s throw away from their home. This park was more than just a scenic spot; it was a canvas of memories where they often spent quality time together with their beloved pup. From the towering trees that whispered secrets of the past to the open fields that invited endless possibilities, every corner of the park offered a new perspective to capture their love story. Caitlin and Kurt’s joy was palpable as they laughed and played, embracing the lighthearted prompts we suggested. It was a reminder that love is not just about the grand gestures but the simple, everyday moments that make a relationship truly special.
Embracing the Beauty of Bremerton Waterfront
With the park setting the tone for a session filled with joy and nostalgia, we ventured to the Bremerton Waterfront to add a touch of romance to Caitlin and Kurt’s engagement session. The waterfront, with its historic ship and serene views, provided a stunning contrast to the lush greenery of the park. As the golden hour bathed the scene in a warm glow, the reflections on the water created a dreamlike ambiance. Kurt, with his engineering background, couldn’t help but admire the intricate details of the ship, while Caitlin’s eyes sparkled with the beauty of the moment. Together, they transformed the waterfront into a scene straight out of a romantic movie, their connection evident in every frame.
Overcoming Camera Shyness
Let’s be real—posing for photos can feel a bit awkward at first, and Caitlin and Kurt were no exception. However, our approach is all about making our couples feel comfortable and at ease. Although Kurt gave us a run for our money, with a few jokes and gentle guidance, we helped them relax and embrace the experience. By the end of the session, Caitlin and Kurt were absolute naturals in front of the camera. Their genuine smiles and effortless chemistry made it easy to capture the essence of their relationship, turning potential awkwardness into moments of pure joy.
Anticipation for Their July Wedding
As we wrapped up their Bremerton engagement session, our conversations naturally drifted to Caitlin and Kurt’s upcoming July wedding. Their excitement was infectious, and it was clear that their wedding day would be a celebration filled with laughter, love, and cherished memories. If their engagement session was any indication, their wedding promises to be a day of joy, complete with inside jokes about their newfound love for being photographed. We can’t wait to be there to capture every moment as they say “I do” and embark on this new chapter together.
Caitlin and Kurt’s Bremerton engagement session was a testament to the power of love and the significance of meaningful locations. From their favorite park to the enchanting Bremerton Waterfront, every setting was a reflection of their unique journey. As we look forward to their wedding day, we’re grateful for the opportunity to capture the essence of their love story.
