Crystal + Jonathan’s Wedding

I met Crystal about a year after I moved to Seattle and as a fellow Texan, I loved her immediately. Jonathan, a Washington native, is such a great match for my Texas friend and when they tied the knot in November 2008, I was honored to be a part of it.

To be clear, this was the first wedding I ever shot, and oh my goodness, it was a lot of work. They ultimately tasked me with capturing the moment of the event and mixing up the traditional photos you see coming out of weddings. A hefty task, no doubt.

Thank you both for taking a chance on me and for letting me be part of your special day!! I love ya’ll!!

Bethany + Scott’s Engagement

A few months ago, I shot my friend Bethany’s engagement photos. She needed them shot on the fly so we walked around downtown Kirkland and had a little fun.

She and her fiance Scott were truly a joy to be around. They kissed and laughed and loved each other so vibrantly in front of my camera. I can only imagine that their life together will hold much of the same – vibrant love and infectious laughter.

Congratulations you two. I wish you all the best from the bottom of my heart.
