I met Erin last year when she moved to West Seattle, and Daniel soon after. My husband describes these two as real people. We love how genuine they are. It also helps that Erin went to the University of Oregon. You're always going to have a place in our hearts if you're a Duck.

Soon after Erin's move they became engaged. I was super excited and all about wanting to do their photos, so when she asked me I may have jumped up for joy! D + E picked Lincoln Park in West Seattle for their engagement photos. This is such a beautiful location right on the sound. You've got trees, mountains, and beach all around. I loved it! Erin gave me the green light to be as creative as I wanted. I picked sunset for the dreamy light, of course, and we went for it. I LOVE how this session turned out. We had so much fun. I hope you enjoy! I can't wait for the Wedding in October.seattle engagement photographer photos west seattle beach ocean lincoln park rachael kruse (2)seattle engagement photographer photos west seattle beach ocean lincoln park rachael kruseseattle engagement photographer photos west seattle beach ocean lincoln park rachael kruseseattle engagement photographer photos west seattle beach ocean lincoln park rachael kruse (3)seattle engagement photographer photos west seattle beach ocean lincoln park rachael kruse (5)seattle engagement photographer photos west seattle beach ocean lincoln park rachael kruse (7)seattle engagement photographer photos west seattle beach ocean lincoln park rachael kruse (8)seattle engagement photographer photos west seattle beach ocean lincoln park rachael kruse (11)seattle engagement photographer photos west seattle beach ocean lincoln park rachael kruse (13)seattle engagement photographer photos west seattle beach ocean lincoln park rachael kruse (12)

Luther Burbank Park {Ryan + Jenny} Seattle Engagement Photographer

 

seattle engagement photographer mercer island luther burbank park rachael kruseThis engagement session was a blast! First off R + J couldn't be any cuter of a couple. Ryan has such a sweet personality and you can see how much he adores Jenny. Jenny is simply gorgeous. She expressed she wanted to bring a Zooey Deschanel flair to the shoot and she did a beautiful job of doing so with her hair, makeup, outfit, and props. It brought some spunk and personality to the shoot. Plus Jenny let me choose the time of day to get the best light, and the light turned out to be perfect.

Luther Burbank Park is on Mercer Island and has wonderful variety. It was fun to pop around and use the docks, brick and amazing trees for backdrops. I'm excited for their wedding this fall at Wine and Roses Country Estate. I'm sure Jenny will bring just as much fun and style!

Downtown Seattle {Peter + Jessie} Seattle Engagement Photographer

I have known Jessie & her family for so long! I was thrilled when she called me to say she wanted me to photographer her wedding. We decided for her engagement photos it would be fun to come to Seattle, as Peter and Jessie are from Eugene Oregon. I had such a blast romping around downtown Seattle with these two. We started at the big wheel, walked to Pikes Market, and then ended at Gasworks Park. This photo shoot was full of some very fun variety. So excited for these two! Enjoy
