annie + russ: engaged

Allow me to introduce my dear friends, Annie and Russ who are getting hitched next month. Yay! Since I spend a lot of time photographing during the evening hours, Annie and Russ requested that their engagement shoot be at night - in my likeness and style. I was very excited about this idea, as I photograph a lot at night, but this was the first time it would be with a couple, and a fabulous couple to boot. These two are fun, creative, intelligent, thoughtful - the list goes on. I feel strongly that photography is a collaborative effort, and these two had an amazing energy in front of the camera that helped to create some of these shots. They were incredibly patient, willing to try anything, and troopers in this cold weather. Thank you to both of them. I can't wait for their wedding!

lovebirds: bobby + billie sue

I can't believe my baby brother is getting married. His wife-to-be is a strong, beautiful, inspiring woman and I am happy to have her as my future sis. Bobby and Billie Sue really love Seattle so it was important to them to incorporate iconic Seattle imagery into their engagement photos. We had a lot of fun exploring the city. Little lovebirds, I can't wait for your wedding! xoxo

Ben and Annie Mae RADIATE. Their wedding day was full of crazy joy - which exudes from both of their lovely souls (and not just on their big day). I was so excited to share their celebration with them in stunning Mt. Hood. Their wedding was photographed by the creative and talented Lauren Brooks. She captured the day so beautifully. For this event, I was happy to be just a guest, but here are a few snaps I took along the way. Thanks Ben + Annie Mae! It was a bright, bright sun shiny day. Just perfect.
