Josh and Sarah’s Engagement Session

Raeleen and I flew down to Redondo Beach, California to shoot Josh and Sarah’s engagement session. What an amazing time we had! Josh and Sarah were so much fun. We began the day with Chubb, their oh-so-fluffy puppy who, while we were in Redondo, graduated from his fenced area to the whole house! Congrats pup! It’s obvious who their second love is, Chubb was such a sweatheart and was definitely an important part of their pictures :)

From there Josh and Sarah took a quick ride on their bikes outside and were met with beautiful sunshine. We went to Redondo Beach, to Palos Verdes, Hermosa Beach, and to the LACMA museum. A full day with, of course, the necessary adult beverage stops ;)

The beach was unbelievable. Maybe that’s because we don’t have great beaches in Seattle, but the sunset, water and sand make for a great spot to shoot. The LACMA was also amazing. We visited their outdoor exhibit which consisted of more than two hundred cast iron Lampposts. Make sure you check out those shots, they are definitely unique and a lot of fun.

Thank you so much Josh and Sarah for bringing us down there and making us feel like family. We had a wonderful time and we absolutely cannot wait for your wedding in Napa this summer!

Portrait Session with Nora

It was Nora’s idea to do her photoshoot in Discovery Park, and it was a great one. This is a shoot from Novemeber and as you can see it’s a bit of contrast from the snow on the ground in Seattle right now. The sun was out, the dry grass looked awesome, and we had a ton of fun.

Thanks for a great shoot, Nora, I had a wonderful time!

Annika and Erik’s Wedding :: Seattle Rainier Club

Absolutely amazing! Annika and Erik’s Wedding was beautiful,. The Rainier Club in Seattle was the perfect setting for the day. Beautiful decorations, warm wooden staircases and rails, and amzing windows were just some of the things that just lent itself to creating the perfect feel for Annika and Erik’s wedding (not to mention a rare warm and sunny day in Seattle in October!).

Erik’s first glimpse of Annika was on the main staircase at the Rainier Club. The moment she came down the stairs to see Erik was stunning. She looked amazing in her Vera Wang gown, and he couldn’t be happier to see her. It’s times like that that make our job so wonderful.

Right after Annika and Erik saw each other for the first time, Riley, their cute little dog, got to see them, too. He ran down the stairs right into their arms :)

Then came the pictures! We had almost 2 hours the Annika had given us to drive through downtown Seattle and pick a few fun spots. We went to Pioneer Square and captured the bridal party under the ivy. Post Alley rocked for some urban shots, and the Seattle Public Library was awesome with the yellows and reds on the walls. Everywhere we went created a unique and fun memory, and everyone had a great time! We are so happy to have been Annika and Erik’s wedding photographers.

Definitely check out their slideshow below, it’s worth the look :)

Senior Session with Jenna

What do you do on a cold day in winter at the beach? Get in the water! Jenna blew me away with her idea to get in a dress and splash around in the water a bit. It was cold enough walking on the beach at Golden Gardens, I’m sure it was freezing in the water.

We had a lot of fun. She had a couple outfit changes and we captured her soft side and her more urban grunge side :) Thanks for such an awesome session, Jenna!

Back from Redondo Beach

I hope everyone had as awesome of a weekend as Rae and I did! We flew down to shoot Josh and Sarah’s engagement photos this weekend and had a wonderful time. We drank amazing wines, ate great italian food, and most of all got to spent a fun day shooting with Josh and Sarah (and their pup Chubb).

We went to Redondo, to the Fish Market, to Hermosa Beach on the sand at sunset, and to the LACMA Museum where they had the most amazing lamp post exhibit outside. Sounds weird, but you’ll see in the pictures soon, they were awesome!

Thanks so much Josh and Sarah for putting up with us, we had the best time and getting onto the plane to go back to Seattle wasn’t easy. Especially with the 73 degrees and sunny weather. Tough winter in LA.

We’ll have up some pictures soon, so keep posted :)
