Lake Cushman Elopement
Just a half-hour before photographing Nicole and Kamal’s newlywed and engagement photos, I was driving through a thick fog in Hoodsport. I was anxious for the rest of the drive — the weather is one of the only things out of my control when it comes to photoshoots, and all three of us were hoping to have gorgeous mountain views for these shots.
Winter Olympic National Park Engagement
The Olympic National Park is full of so many incredible, yet easily accessible, locations. This lake, in particular, is one of my favorite spots to visit. It has everything you could want in one location — mountains, a lake with a picturesque dock, forest, and even a waterfall if you’re willing to hike. Like magic, the mountains look good no matter the weather, so it’s truly a gem to see.
Mount Rainier Fall Engagement
Mount Rainier is known as “the mountain” here in western Washington. At 14,417 feet, it’s the state’s tallest mountain. It’s so tall and prominent, in fact, that it creates its own weather. Often, you’ll see Rainier wearing a “cap,” or lenticular clouds that regularly form atop it. That being said — reliable weather is not what Rainier is known for.
Mount Rainier National Park Adventure Engagement
Despite the threat of a wildfire at Rainier earlier in the week, Yun and Alex’s Mount Rainier engagement shoot was all I hoped it would be. They wanted the best views of Rainier and were happy to hike to a short distance to get them.
A Vantage, Washington Desert Engagement
When I found out that Samantha and Gabe were dating, I squealed with delight. Delighted that my best friend had found a great guy, but also because I had already met him!
Spokane Riverside Engagement
Last week you heard my perspective of Jordan's proposal to Shae. This week you get the treat of hearing it from the bride-to-be, herself, followed by their riverside engagement photos in Spokane.
Palouse Adventure Engagement
My younger brother, Braden, proposed to Halley, his high school sweetheart of 6 years the night before this shoot. My hubby and I had the privilege of setting up the proposal, so when we made the spontaneous decision to take engagement photos the next day we knew the perfect spot for them — the proposal location! We happened to get to the river as the sun was setting, and lucked out with a gorgeous sunset glow.
North Cascades Fall Engagement
I’ve been dying to shoot in the North Cascades, ever since my first visit there, over a year ago! This turquoise lake is one of a kind and sure to stun everyone who sees it.
