Meghan + Nolan :: Juanita Bay Park Engagement Session

So, just north of downtown Kirkland there’s Juanita Bay Park. It’s kind of a sneaky spot since most people go to the Beach Park across the water. But let me tell you, it was the perfect little park for Meghan and Nolan’s engagement shoot. There’s awesome grass, (which, if you’ve seen our work, is a favorite for shoots), there are multiple bridges acting like a pathway to the waterfront, and there are a ton of Dandelions just ripe for the picking, and of course blowing all the little white seeds and watching them parachute down. All these things make this park a pretty awesome spot to shoot, and Meghan and Nolan were all smiles. Even when we made them blow the Dandelion seeds at us. Hope these will keep you excited for their wedding coming up next year.

Megan + Jordan :: Seattle Arboretum Engagement Session

As always, the Arboretum in Seattle is a sweet place to shoot. There’s so much green, different trees, and all sorts of hidden spots in the park that’ll take you just outside of the main walking areas. Plus, Megan and Jordan’s pups have tons of room to run around and get their own little piece of the engagement session, too! Rae and I think it’s so awesome when our couples incorporate fun parts of their lives into their sessions, and a lot of times having their dogs come along is a great way to have everything they love in one place. And with that, it’s always a unique shooting experience and we all have crazy fun with the session. Take a peek.

Inspiration Bridal Shoot + Vintage Safari :: Camp Verde, Arizona

This Vintage Safari Bridal shoot in and around the Out of Africa Wildlife Park in Camp Verde, Arizona was an indescribable experience. We had a fun and creative team that all pulled together to make this happen and we couldn’t be happier with this Inspirational shoot. We decided to drive out to Camp Verde, Arizona from Phoenix to capture the perfect scenery for a vintage safari, giving us amazing wild desert, old dry trees, and even a Wildlife Park where we captured Giraffes, snakes and from a distance saw Lions.

The best thing for Raeleen and I while shooting, was the details in every aspect of the day. We had the perfect desert themed cake, cupcakes designed to show off the animals of the Safari, lanterns for the wedding site, and so much more. Check out the pictures, the detail are stunning, and everything pulls together the theme of the desert safari. All shades of browns and whites, the purples in the bouquet, golds in the jewelry and even colors accented in the scenes that come out from the Off-road Safari Mercedes, the river, and the patches of green that pepper the desert grass.

To make this all come together in the end, we had the fabulous opportunity to work with some of the best local Arizona talent, whose work and details really made this shoot shine. Check out who all contributed to the shoot at the end of this post. Thank you all again!

A special thanks to Alicia French from The Charity Wedding for all of her support throughout the process.
