love in redmond, wa

civil ceremonies deserve amazing photography too! this is a perfect example of a bride and groom who valued excellent photography and hired me for a customized elopement package for their civil ceremony + bridal and family portraits directly after their ceremony.  

sam’s family flew out from montreal for the intimate affair and everyone was so very happy. i was extraordinarily honored to witness their nuptials by a fantastic judge at the redmond courthouse. let me tell you, he was hilarious and sweet - and it was one of the best ceremonies i have attended! 

afterward we took all family and friends over to the park next door for portraits and i kept the couple a little extra time for bridals. we *had to finish our time up at redmond city hall because that building is *stunning and we grabbed a few of my most very favorite environmental portraits i have ever taken! :) 

so please- ladies and gents! if a huge wedding isn’t your thing, hire a pro to document it! you’ll be so happy in twenty years that you will have these fond memories to cherish forever.  

i do accommodate customized elopement packages to fit within modest budgets, so contact me today and let’s make something special happen on your once in a lifetime day!

anne-marie+antonio part ii

love at diablo lake, wa

this was an AMAZING post-wedding adventure and such a fun day with anne-marie and antonio. it was a few weeks after the wedding and we caught some fall sunshine and headed out to diablo lake in the north cascades. it was worth every second of drive time. so epic and so *windy and they were such good sports about it all. seriously, what better excuse to get all dressed up again in your wedding clothing than against this tremendous backdrop? antonio himself is also an amaaaaaaazing photographer, so i caight some behind the scenes of him shooting his beautful wife as well!

these shoots are fantastic and i hope you enjoy these and consider a location like this for your elopement or post wedding adventure when booking with me!

lina+xavier

love in seattle, wa

such an amazing day we had in late spring to celebrate lina and xavier’s nuptials! we had already had an incredible engagement session a few months earlier, so had a chance to get to know each other a bit, which always makes things go more smoothly. this is why i always include an engagement session with all of my wedding packages! anyway, back to the lovely couple at hand…

the morning started off at the bride’s house with a traditional vietnamese tea ceremony. it was so beautiful! it is such a privilege for me to witness and document cultural traditions like this. after that we headed over to the beautful washinton arboretum for the first look and bridal portraits and had a fun time horsing around, which is my favorite way to attain authentic and joyous group photos! the last stop was the gorgeous lake union cafe for the ceremony and reception. everything was so beautiful and fun and i was able to capture some of my very favorite dance shots i have ever taken. what an amazing group of friends and family, which is no surprise as lina and xavier are just the sweetest! many blessing to the happy couple1
