Ash & Sherryl's loved ones flew from around the world to be together for their wedding day! We started with portraits and a ceremony at St. Louise Catholic Church in Bellevue, followed by a small second ceremony in the home. Everyone changed into new outfits and came back together for a reception at the Redmond Ridge Community & Event Center. Desert Bloom Floral Designs filled the room with colorful flowers, Chutney's provided an incredible Indian meal, and DJ Surge got everyone on the dance floor for a fun, joyful evening. It was a beautiful celebration, and I'm so grateful I got to be a part of it!

Jessa and Brendan are getting married! They wanted to capture the last of the Fall colors at their November engagement session. We took a walk through a favorite park, included their pup for a few portraits, and popped a bottle of champagne to celebrate. Jessa and I both grew up in Kirkland, and it was so fun to meet Brendan and get to know them as a couple before their upcoming wedding!

Mikaela and Grant married at the Seattle Washington Temple on a sunny May afternoon. We began their photography with a celebratory exit from the temple and finished with family and couple portraits. I love that this location has so many beautiful spaces for loved ones to gather together for photos just steps away from the parking lot!

Megan and Joey got married on a November afternoon at Kirkland Marina Park. Their beautiful pups and a few close family members joined in for a micro wedding under the gazebo just as the autumn rain rolled in. I tagged along for two hours, and we celebrated with a cake cutting and portraits. I grew up in Kirkland and spent many summers at this park, and it was so special to be back for a wedding day!

Caitlin and Alex gathered with their closest family and friends for a short-notice ceremony at Lowman Beach Park. It was a sunny October afternoon full of love, laughter, and sweet candid moments (all of my favorite things)! If you're thinking about eloping or planning a small outdoor ceremony, we live in such a beautiful area for these types of celebrations—no decorations needed. Scroll to see the highlights from this special day!

Anticipating that an upcoming stay-home order could cancel their March wedding, Keegan and Tara eloped a week early. They exited the Seattle Washington Temple all smiles, surrounded by their parents and a few other close family members. It was a beautiful day full of so much love, and I hope it helps spread a little joy and hope to other couples getting married this year.

After spending a year and a half apart during Tara's mission trip, Keegan and Tara are engaged! We celebrated with an engagement session at St. Edwards Park where we took their first portraits together two years ago. Scroll to see a handful of my favorites from this happy rainy day!

We've both known Mackenzie and Bryan for years, so when they got engaged and asked us to photograph their wedding, we were SO excited! They're both so sweet, silly, and kind-hearted, and it was no surprise that their friends and families were the same way. Keep scrolling to take a look at some of my favorites from their Rein Fire Ranch wedding.

Keegan and Tara are sweet, silly, and ridiculously in love--all of my favorite things! We danced under cherry blossom trees at Saint Edwards Park, ran through the grass, and hiked  through the trails down to Lake Washington. Keegan is one of my childhood best friends, and there's something so incredibly special about seeing  longtime friends truly happy.  You can bet I fought back some happy tears while shooting and editing this session for them.

Tara is heading out on a year and a half long mission trip, so I put together one of my special long distance sets for the two of them, packaged it with love, and sent it off for them to hang onto in this time apart.  Here are just some of my favorites!

I've had the pleasure of photographing Chrissie and Andrew twice now (remember their snowy engagement session?).  Each time, Chrissie tells me she's not photogenic, and each time I leave with so many sweet photos of the two of them laughing, hugging, and enjoying each other's company. These connections are exactly what I love about photographing couples in love, and it was so special to be able to include their dogs in this session, too!
