“the supreme happiness of life is the conviction that we are loved.”
finally, finally blogging my last wedding of 2014. Erin & Ford are a wonderful couple and were a joy to work with. their wedding was full of special moments and details. so nice to end the season in such a beautiful way!
i'm so excited to begin sharing the engagement sessions of some of my 2015 couples. stay tuned!
i had a lovely time with Iver and his wonderful mamas in august, following them around on a typical sunday morning. they played at the park, we wandered the farmer's market picking out produce, and ended with a sweet treat back at the park. it's silly how long it's taken me to blog this! a little bit of summer on these cold days, enjoy!
Joe and Jessica are such a great couple. they are big-hearted, adorable and so in love. it's been a pleasure getting to know them this year (check out their engagement session here). their wedding was so much fun!
it was pouring rain right before i arrived but we were so lucky to have perfect weather for the rest of the night. this day was full of gorgeous DIY details - like the chalkboard signs, tree slices for ceremony and centerpieces, and the arbor they were married underneath. the s'mores favors were a perfect way to take a break from dancing and enjoy the beautiful views!
huge congratulations to Jessica and Joe and their families. i am so happy to be have been a part of your wedding!
finally getting a chance to blog this newborn session of sweet Hannah and her family at home. so much cute and tiny squishiness!! <3
Wellspring Spa is utterly breathtaking. Beautiful trails with unique little cabins - I definitely want to come back here to vacation (or to shoot)! There are so many wonderful places to explore and that makes it this photographer's dream. The space suited Katy & Robby so well, it was a perfect place for them to be married.
Since Katy and Robby live in Seattle, I met them for the first time at their engagement session (check it out here). They are so warm and easygoing, I knew their wedding was going to be a lot of fun. I was also able to spend some time talking to family and friends at the rehearsal dinner the night before, and it was so nice to get to know the people in their lives. Everyone made me feel inexpressibly welcome and valued!
Many of the guests spent the weekend at the spa, and pitched in to set up the lovely details. Vintage handkerchiefs and childhood photos lined the path to the peaceful sanctuary where Katy and Robby said their heartfelt vows. The ceremony was officiated by a good friend of the couple - and it was one of the most moving ceremonies I have ever documented. The handkerchiefs were definitely put to good use. More dear friends created the delicious wedding feast and cakes. The reception reminded me of an intimate dinner gathering - everyone talking and eating and laughing together. There was wine, there was dancing! I left feeling so grateful to have been a part of the weekend. The photos will say it better than I can in words.
