{Crystal} Seattle bridal portraits

I received an email from Crystal saying she was looking for a photographer for her wedding. While she ended up having a friend of the family shoot the wedding, I was lucky enough to have a fun bridal session with her. A few weeks before her wedding she had a trial done for her hair and makeup. After she was all done up, her and I headed to her wedding location, which was a small pond  surrounded by woods right in her neighborhood. I would love a little get away just a short walk from my house, especially if you can get great photos there, which we did!!

This girl is gorgeous and fun! She is a veterinary and brought her 3 small dogs along. It was fun having them bounce around as we were photographing throughout the evening. I am so happy for her. I saw photos from her wedding day, and it looks like they had a blast. Congratulations!!! Enjoy a few of my favorites from Crystal's bridal session.

Urban Grace Church Tacoma {Zach + Meredith} Seattle Wedding Photographer

 

Some of you might remember these two from their engagement sesh back in June at Carkeek Park in Seattle. If you don't know Zach + Meredith you may want to consider introducing yourself. My husband introduced me to these two, and I'm so glad he did. They are such a dynamic sweet couple + they know how to throw an awesome party!!

Zach + Meredith were married at Urban Grace Church in downtown Tacoma. Downtown Tacoma is an awesome place for wedding photos and we had fun with it. From the first look at Wright Park, a random parking garage, and the 11th street bridge we got tones of photos. After the wedding we headed to the reception location, Foss Waterway Seaport,  which rocked! It was on the water and had views of Mt. Rainier and all the big boats in the seaport. One of my favorite details from this wedding was the Blizzards. Meredith told me she loves Blizzards from DQ and because they always grab one when they are down in Tacoma they decided it would be perfect to have them instead of a cake. I love how fun and personal this was.  It was a day filled with so much joy + love + community —  Much love and many blessings to you two!

Golden Garden Bathhouse {Justin & Kim} Seattle Wedding Photographer

Meet Justin + Kim, two of the most easy going people I know. When they asked me to do their wedding and said I could be as creative as I wanted - I was all on board!! They chose the most beautiful location, with amazing variety for photos.

These two were married at the Gold Garden Park Bathhouse in Seattle, and had the gorgeous Stacy with Stacy Anderson Design in charge of the decor. I would recommend this location again and again. As you will see we had a small grove of trees, the Puget Sound as a backdrop, sand, and wind blow sea grass. We were able to capture so much in a small amount of time. Enjoy a few of my favorites from their day. R
