It’s that time of year again, and we’re over halfway to Christmas! (Don’t judge me, my Halloween loving friends… We’re still celebrating that too.) This year, I’m finally ahead of the game and posting Santa Session bookings early. Santa Sessions in 2023 The past few years we’ve always done our sessions outside at a lovely…
This year has been full of sessions that almost didn’t happen. From bee stings to cows that refuse to get in their trailers, it’s been a wild ride fitting in all the engagement and family sessions. But this one almost didn’t happen for another, more typical reason: Troy didn’t want his photo taken. For most…
Trinity Tree Farm tends to top most photographers’ lists as a dream venue. When I first started weddings, it was a bucket list venue for us and this year we finally got to fulfill that dream with an amazing couple’s wedding! Kiersten + Phillip chose the Lodge at Trinity Tree Farm for their wedding and…
Courtney + Will’s Events on 6th Wedding was an incredibly beautiful day that many had waited years for. Surrounded by family and friends, these two finally tied the knot! I’ve sat down to write this blog, probably about a hundred times in the past two months. Every time, I wouldn’t even know where to start….
We hit the ground running with Amanda + Anthony’s Copper Gable Barn wedding! It’s always a joy to shoot at the barn, and once again it did not disappoint. It was a perfect setting for their rainy Friday wedding, and everyone stayed warm and dry in the beautiful loft space. Rainy Copper Gables Barn Wedding…
We’re excited to bring you the 2023 Seattle Wedding Show Recap. Ya’ll know wedding show weekend is one of my absolute favorite “work weekends”. The excitement buzzes through the air as dozens of vendors erect displays, they’ve worked HOURS creating and perfecting. The low rumble of chatter fills the once empty convention center space, as…
You’ve seen me mention the adventure engagement before, and probably browsed through the blog posts. But if you’re sitting on the other side of your computer, drinking coffee and thinking “I could never do that”… Friend, you’re more than wrong! What is an adventure engagement? We’ve all heard of the term adventure. By definition, an…
The ultimate couple’s events of the year is finally back to normal. The PNW Wedding Shows are back and bringing you the most amazing vendors for your wedding day! Navigating the show and all it has to offer can be overwhelming (been there done that!) so I’m here to guide you through planning (and executing)…
Over the summer last year, I was added to a group on Facebook where disappointed brides were airing all the yuck on the vendors who did them dirty. When the surprise wore off (and I’d thoroughly checked to make sure my name and my vendor friend’s names weren’t in any of the posts) I could…
Isn’t it amazing how quickly a year can pass? I feel like yesterday we were posting reviews of 2021 while scrambling to prepare for the 2022 Seattle Wedding Show and our Disney World Trip. But alas, an entire year has come and gone, thankfully taking it’s ups and downs with it. 2022 Weddings 2022 was…
Here in Washington, the busiest parts of the Wedding Season are May through October. That doesn’t mean us wedding photographers slow down much during the other months. Instead, we tend to book engagements, family sessions and even boudoir (Markie, not Jake) during the “slow” months. While many of the tips we give for engagements also…
You know you’re getting “old” when you’ve spent your life watching someone grow up and they call you to shoot their engagement session. I’m pretty sure I said this same thing when she came to me for her Senior Session too. But the best adventures are those shared with friends, and I’m super glad we…
