The first time Karolina and I met for coffee we sat and chatted for nearly 2 hours!!  It was so much fun – they didn’t have any other choice but to choose me as their wedding photographer!!  Then a couple of weeks ago I met Mark at their engagement session and now I just can’t help but love them both!!  We had WAY too much fun – we laughed till our belly’s hurt (well, I did) karate kicked the air, drank coffee and talked non-stop.  The best part about it was how Mark & Karolina interacted.  They are PERFECT for each other – so in love.  Which is good – because they are getting married THIS WEEKEND!!

Here are a couple of my favorite images from the day – I hope you love them too!

Tomorrow is the big day!!  These two lovebirds (who met in High School!) will meet at the Sorrento - with all of their closest family & friends to celebrate the start of their new life together.

Two weeks ago Corey, Nik & I met in downtown Issaquah (soooo cute!) to do their engagement portraits – it was a gorgeous sunny day – perfect for many scene & clothing changes as we danced down the train tracks jumped off of light poles and hung out in the dugouts (just like high school – i love it!).

Here are a few of my favorite images from the day:

My heart is heavy.  I just got off the phone with Corey – She was calling from the ER.  This morning (the day before the wedding) Nik was walking their dog downtown Issaquah when he was hit by a car in a crosswalk.

He has a bump on his head and a fractured leg – he is on his way into surgery and will hopefully be feeling up for some festivities tomorrow.

This must be a very hard time for the couple – if you could take a minute and send some love, wishes, prayers any positive thoughts their way I know it will be appreciated.

I will be sure to keep you updated – in the meantime please feel free to leave comments (or similar stories of other couples with happy endings) here for Corey & Nik and the messages will be forwarded onto them.

Thank you  & much love to the sweet couple!  See you tomorrow!!

Lyndsey & Josh are engaged to be married… NEXT WEEK!  SO exciting!  =)  Their wedding is going to be fabulous too – it will be at one of my very favorite farms, Craven Farms – gorgeous.  BUT – I’ll tell you more about that once it happens (in 8 days!!).

A few months back – while the cherry blossoms were in bloom we met at a sweet park in Tacoma (by the zoo I believe) the weather couldn’t have been more perfect, so we spent a little over an hour there before heading down the road to a place where they spent a lot of their time in the summers.  It also happens to be the exact place where Josh popped the question – when Lyndsey was telling me the story, we all couldn’t help but tear up… I love sweet engagement stories!!

Spending this time with this sweetly-so-in-love couple reminded me how much I love my job.  Its full of tears – the good kind.   Thank you for that!!

Here are a few of my favorites from the day – we had so much fun it was hard choosing.

Brandy & Adrian are planning their wedding for the middle of August (next week!?) at her parents house and I cannot wait – it is going to be SO much fun!  These two are such a great couple, so much fun – I can only imagine how fun their friends & family will be.  =)  A couple of weeks ago Brandy, Adrian and I met up at Kerry Park & Parsons Gardens on the Queen Anne Hill to take some engagement photos, we got to talking and found out that we all have something in common – SE Alaska!  Brandy’s Mom spent many of her years in Sitka Alaska – Adrian spent a summer (or more?) on a boat with his parents through the inside passage and working up in Skagway (one of my FAVORITE towns!) and of course - that’s where I spent the better part of 18+ years.  =)

It was a gorgeous day we picked for the photos (hoooray for sunny seattle summers!) and we spent a very laid back hour walking around the streets chatting and of course taking pictures!  Here are a few of my favs:

Last summer I had the privilege of meeting Kelly & Bill at Kimberley & Justin’s wedding – then again when Kelly & Kimberley attended Get Hitched Give Hope as they worked on the wedding plans. (Thank you for supporting the cause!)… Well the wedding is almost here!  This weekend Bill & Kelly will tie the knot – I can’t wait, it is going to be gorgeous!!

A couple of months back Kelly, Bill & I met at the Kubota Gardens down in South Seattle – what a beautiful place!  It was too much fun – we spent about an hour walking around (okay… more like dancing around!) and here are a few of my favorite images:

Jenna & Thomas are the sweetest couple!!  I cannot wait for their wedding it is coming up soon too, this fall over on Whidbey Island – beautiful!  So, for their engagement photos we headed up north to Tulip Town in Skagit Valley…. GORGEOUS!!!

Here are a couple of shots from the day (I had SO many favorites, it was hard to choose!)

So – if you are friends on Facebook, you will have seen… Jen & Dan tied the knot yesterday!! (april 22nd, 2009) Whoohoo!! Congratulations!!  A few weeks ago we headed out to the UW campus where we were looking for a good combo of fabulous brick architecture (a love of Jen’s who is also a photographer & loves the urban landscapes) and grass, trees & water (dan loves to be outdoors and in natural settings).

We had SO much fun playing around, they were up for anything – so we jumped off stairs, danced through trees and layed on the grass, it couldn’t have been a more perfect day!

They are celebrating their union this October in Hawaii, stay tuned – I’m sure there will be more updates!  It was so fun photographing these two – here are a few shots of the cute couple -

I met Kristin about a year ago and right away we got along famously!  She is fun, silly, loves to laugh and tell stories (a few of my favorite things!) so when she told me she was engaged (actually – I saw it on facebook first, hee hee!) I was SOO excited for her & couldn’t wait to meet the man who can keep up with this fabulous lady!   Last Sunday I got to meet the man himself and he is indeed as wonderful as she told me!!  Together they love to hang out, eat hot dogs (with cream cheese and hot sauce!! hahah!) and do all the same things.   These two are PERFECT for each other!  I am so happy to be photographing their wedding!!

Here are a few photos from our day out in the sun:

Trisha & Jesse are engaged to be married this coming August – and after getting to know them I cannot wait for their wedding!!  We went out one sunny & fabulous day in October to the Sculpture Park downtown Seattle and took some engagement photos which I thought turned out fabulously, but my favorite was the email response from Trisha – Jesse thought they were “Baddass!!”   (love it!!)

Hope you love them too!!

In less than two VERY short weeks Carolyn & Ian will tie the knot – and I cannot wait!  It is the first wedding of 2009 and I have been waiting excitedly for it since I met Carolyn and heard about her amazing plans!!

This past Saturday we set out in search of snow – we ended up in Snoqualmie where it was snowing (yay!) and there was PLENTY of it on the ground. (past our knees in most places!).   You will see how much fun they had playing in the snow… I wish it would snow more in the city!!  =)

Here are a couple of images from our shoot – wedding photos soon to follow.   Enjoy!!
