discovery park engagement | steve & jenni

This summer I've spent A LOT of time traveling. Between shooting weddings all over the state of Washington (one weekend I went from Port Angeles on Saturday to Leavenworth on Sunday), traveling back to Jackson Hole multiple times, and hiking deep into the mountains for engagement sessions, it's been just a little bit crazy. While I do love a shooting in new places that I've never been (it's incredibly inspiring!), I can always appreciate shooting close to home. Sometimes it's easy to take Seattle's amazing views and scenery for granted. There are pockets of pretty stuff everywhere and all it takes is a little bit of exploring to find them. And on that note, meet Steve and Jenni. College sweethearts from Boise, Idaho, work brought these two to Seattle and they are loving the downtown Seattle lifestyle. Upon moving to Seattle, they got an apartment that backs right up to Pike Place and enjoy a minimal commute to their downtown Seattle jobs. Their wedding will be next September in Boise, but they wanted to show their family back home a little taste of the Northwest through their engagement session photos. We started out on the rooftop of their apartment and then took a quick jaunt to Discovery Park, one of Seattle's little gems. We were having such a good time we took a hike down to the lighthouse together and watched the sun go down. Right on the cusp of fall, I was going crazy over the romantic golden light! I had the best time photographing these two and am really looking forward to their wedding next September out in Boise. I can only imagine their family and friends are just as fabulous as they are.

destination wedding in jackson hole | greg and aili

This week has been a total whirlwind! In case you hadn't heard, David and I got married last Friday. Today marks one week of married life and I can honestly say that I've never been happier. Once my season slows down I look forward to posting more about all of the amazing-ness. It was truly a day I will never forget! Now for a little update on what I've been shooting lately. I had to share a few frames from Greg and Aili's wedding in Jackson Hole. Around forty of their closest friends and family members flew out from Massachusetts to witness their union in the mountains. Here is just a few details from their very special day in Jackson Hole.

VENDORS:

seattle senior photographer | kristen

Okay can I just say how impressed I am with today's youth? I love working with seniors for a number of reasons but one big reason is that they keep me constantly inspired. Kristen is a great example. Not only did this young lady get 3rd in Washington State for the 4x400 track event, but she has been playing the piano since the age of 5. Family oriented and just one of the sweetest girls, Kristen was incredible to work with! Seriously though, I could have listened to her play the piano all day. She is so talented! Wishing Kristen all the best in her first week of senior year!
