Jenny & Logan's Wedding

Posted at 11:30 AM | 2 comments | please leave a comment

What an awesome couple Jenny & Logan are! We met up with these guys back in February to shoot their engagement session and we just couldn't wait to be a part of their wedding.

We started out at Downtown's Alexis Hotel where both the bride and groom were getting ready. When I first walked into the brides suite... I was greeted by the stunning bride herself. She looked like a princess and she hadn't even gotten dressed yet! :) While I hung out with the bride, John went over to check on the groom. What he found was Logan and all of his groomsmen playing... Guitar Hero! :)

Some pictures at the UW campus and then off to the church!

This was actually our first reception at the Lake Union Cafe . All of the guests celebrated with the bride and groom into the night.

Congratulations Jenny & Logan on your marriage! Thank you so much for allowing us to take part in your day.

A little sneak peek!

Posted at 9:57 AM | 2 comments | please leave a comment

The lovely Elisa is to be married on August 8th, 2008. Yup, 8/8/08! :) She had her first dress fitting a few days ago and I tagged along to get a little sneak peek of her beautiful wedding gown. Joining Elisa was her beautiful mother, Jenifer, and bridesmaids Jessica & Angela who were also looking for their dresses.

Of course I'm not going to show any pictures of Elisa in her dress (that would be a total buzz kill for groom Hunter if he saw those lol) but here are a few appropriate pictures from that morning. :)

So many choices for the maids!

Look at all of those dresses the maids tried on...

Someone likes to shop. :)

Can you say BLING!!!

I had a great time hanging out with all of you lovely ladies! Thanks for including me in this fun event. I am totally looking forward to 8/8/08! :)

John and Suzanne's Engagement

Posted at 2:22 PM | 2 comments | please leave a comment

We first met this awesome couple last year through one of our couples Jamie and Ryan who were married last July.

Suzanne and John are getting married this July at the Hotel Bellweather in Bellingham Wa. John and I have been looking forward to shooting this location for a very long time! You know what could make our first experience at this location even better??? Having an awesome and lively couple like John and Suzanne, that's what!

We just shot their engagement pictures on Sunday... the nicest day of the weekend I might ad, at the University of Washington Campus. They both graduated from UW where John played football and Suzanne played soccer so they both have attachments and fondness for their school. Because John and I had just shot another engagement shoot here the Friday prior, we made sure to keep things fun and fresh for these two. Campus is an amazing place to come if you want to just hang out and it's even better for pictures.

Here are just a few (Oh there are so many more) of our favorites from their engagement session. I just love how these two interact with one another... so natural and so obvious that they so in love.

Thanks John and Suzanne for an awesome afternoon! We can't wait to be part of your special day!

Wedding RSVP's | Postage increase

Posted at 9:07 AM | 0 comments | please leave a comment

The wonderful and talented Event planner, Wendi Hroncich of Ethereal Events just blogged about an important date that even I was unaware of. Taking effect May 12th, postage goes up yet again from $0.41 to $0.42 cents. This is extremely important for those brides who have recently sent out their invitations or for those brides who are getting ready to send them out. If your RSVP date is later than May 12th you will want to be sure to notify your guests of the difference so that they can add extra postage to assure that there's no delay in getting you those much needed RSVP's in a timely matter. If you have not yet sent yours out, be sure to add the extra postage necessary.

Thanks Wendi for the heads up! Your brides are lucky to have you! :)

Steve and Kate | Engagement

Posted at 1:07 PM | 4 comments | please leave a comment

Steve and Kate are getting married this August here in Seattle. Both currently live in Philadelphia but have family here... not to mention they both graduated from The University of Washington. It was only natural for them to want their engagement pictures done right here on campus.

We were seriously playing it by ear up until the very last minute because it was supposed to rain on Friday. We decided to just go for it since it had yet to rain. Once again, John and Jenna Karwoski avoid cancellation due to the typical Seattle weather. YES! :)

We walked all around the UW campus finding some awesome places to shoot. Here are a few of our favorites.

Thanks so much Kate and Steve for hanging out with us Friday! It was so great to finally meet and get to know you both a bit more! John and I are looking forward to not just your wedding but getting to hang with you awesome people again! :)

HAPPY 1ST BIRTHDAY REESE!

Perhaps you remember about 6 months ago I took 6 month pictures of this adorable little princess?? Well, she's back! Reese turned 1 on Friday May 2nd and Mommy Megan asked if I would come and capture the milestone of her daughters first birthday. Of Course I was dying to get some more shots of this beautiful little girl!!!

Reese is just a few crawls away from walking. She is full of energy and those smiles are sure to melt even the coldest of hearts! Take a look for yourself!

All of these pictures were taken at Megan's home... what an awesome backyard I had to work with! Reese is sure to get plenty of use of her nice, big backyard once she gets those footsies a moving!
