Andrea & Marty's Engagement Session

Man! Don't tell anyone but the weather around here has been pretty spectacular lately! So much for it always raining in Seattle!

Andrea and Marty are a really cool couple that love the outdoors. They're getting married in Stehekin, WA in June at the Silver Bay Inn. Stehekin is cool because it's so remote. You have to take your own personal boat or a slow ferry to get up to the top of Lake Chelan where it's located. Their wedding is going to be beautiful!

We got together last week for their engagement session over on Alki Beach in West Seattle. It was so warm and sunny you would have thought we were in Southern California, minus the palm trees. As luck would have it, the tide was on it's way out and the sandy beach on Alki was exposing itself, something of a rarity in Washington. We're known for our rocky beaches so seeing sand was a gold mine to me. We totally had to take advantage of it!

Here's a few of my favorites from their session and as always, check out the slideshow for more.

Cynthia & Cameron's Engagement Session

Cynthia and Cameron are getting married over on Hood Canal next month and I can't wait because they're having lots of nieces and nephews in there wedding! I love photographing kids at weddings. They're always so cute!

We met up at the Japanese Gardens in the Arboretum last week and had a great time walking around. Cynthia got lost on her way to meet me at my studio for our initial consultation so we never had met until the day of the engagement session.

In the brief time I spent with them that day it was so easy to see the love these two share. It's incredible! Just look at them. That's awesome!

Here's a few selects from their engagement session. Be sure to check out the slideshow for more.

Genevieve & Bobby's Engagement Session

Genevieve and Bobby were in Seattle a few weeks ago finishing up their plans for their wedding in Port Angeles this summer so we took advantage of the great weather to go play in the sun and take some great engagement photos!

This was the first time I'd met them in person. It was a treat to put a face to their voices. They're both awesome and I really look forward to being part of their wedding day.

Here's a few images from their engagement session.








We met at Red Square on the University of Washington campus and played around in the library and then the quad where the cherry trees were still in bloom. Then we jumped in my MINI and headed over to Gasworks Park. I love this place! There's all sorts of cool and colorful bits of plumbing to use as props and backgrounds. Fun! Gen and Bobby told me they had once tried to stay up all night at the park and watch the sun rise but they didn't quite make it. I wouldn't have been able to do it either!

Bobby and Genevieve have their own wedding page if you'd like to learn more about them.

Kiara & Chad's Engagement Session

It's been a busy week for engagement sessions!

I met up with Kiara and Chad at Kerry Park in Seattle on a beautiful Saturday afternoon. It was a glorious day and everyone was out enjoying the sunshine.

We had a blast playing in the sun at Kerry Park on Queen Anne and down by the Space Needle. We checked out the EMP and then had a fabulous dinner at their favorite Indian restaurant at the base of Queen Anne Hill. Chad even tried his hand at photography and caught a few fun-but-out-of-focus images of Kiara at dinner. :) (I think they're cool!)

After dinner we ran back up to Kerry Park and played in the golden light of the late afternoon with the city skyline in the background.

What an incredible day!

Ellen and Brett's Engagement Session

Ellen and Brett met me at Pikes Place Market in Seattle a few weeks ago for their engagement session. We had a great time even though it was really cold out that day. Brr! Their engagement slideshow is up so go check it out. :)


Ellen is having Save the Date cards made up and she's attaching a wallet sized photo from their engagement session to each of them. She just emailed me an image of what they're going to look like. Aren't they great?!

Hi Jeff,

I thought I'd pass along this version that shows what the picture would look like with the card. I must say, I'm very pleased with how these turned out! The perfect Valentine's Day treat to receive in the mail. :)
