Chase & Candice | Snowy Engagement

All the way from San Antonio Texas, Chase & Candice were visiting his Grandparents, Alan & Martha on their beautiful property in Brinnon, Wa. Making the drive to Brinnon on Saturday morning, John and I were excited to see where we'd be shooting their engagement session. As we arrived we noticed a beautiful home with a classic wrap around porch and the property... AMAZING! Cute little cottages set back in some woods for when guests visited. Tire swings hanging from the branches of old trees, old tractors & boats just lying around. Basically it was a photographers candy store. Everywhere we looked we were like "ooh, look over there, and OH, what about that and I love THAT!". You get the idea... we were very excited! To make matters even better the couple we were photographing, Candice & Chase, were amazing.

Because they live out of state, they booked us to shoot their July wedding before we had a chance to meet. So first things first, we sat down in the dining room and while we showed them all of our goodies (albums/samples etc.) Chase's Grandmother, Martha brought us cookies & sandwiches. Now that's what I'm talking about. :) The hospitality was great! After getting to know each other a bit it was time to get out there and take some pictures. Oh, did I mention that it was snowing & raining on and off? Not that that mattered to these guys (or us). They were up for anything. How awesome!

We were told about different parts of the property and started off at down at the beach. You see, the property also includes beach front on the Hood Canal. While cold, wet & windy, Candice & Chase didn't seem to notice much. I kept thinking... look at their passion. They were totally engulfed in one another. I really do think that the wind could have knocked them over and they would've still been smiling. We continued around the property for a while then decided to drive to one more location. Across the street was Dosewallips falls. Beautiful & breathtaking with all of the snow.

We are very much looking forward to being a part of their intimate wedding this July on this very property. Not always do we get to meet with out of state clients before the wedding and this was a nice treat.

Candice & Chase, Alan & Martha, thanks so much for the hospitality and for a wonderful afternoon. We are looking forward to July!
