One of the best parts of being a photographer is hunting for color and light. And Carmen and David’s engagement session was one of those satisfying moments where the two worked together so beautifully. These lovebirds were so easy to photograph! They’re such a sweet couple, and we can’t wait for their July wedding at Lake Crescent!
For you photogs, these were edited with VSCO Film Lightroom presets. Fuji 160C and Tri-X 400 (both modified). We love VSCO.

Kaycee and Cole : Salt Lake City Engagement
One of the best parts of traveling is shooting in environments that are unlike your own. While in Utah on a recent trip, we photographed Kaycee and Cole’s engagement portraits, taking advantage of the open space and fields. In Washington we’re used to lush forests and trees, so the opportunity to take advantage of the different environment was a welcomed one. In addition to being incredibly attractive, these two are so sweet and loving, and it was a pleasure to document their love.

Kelsey and John : Suzzallo Library
Kelsey and John are getting married today! When we shot their engagements in September, Kelsey was hoping to get some shots at the Suzzallo Library Reading Room at UW. But as school had yet to start, it was not open. So I told them that when they came back up to Seattle before their wedding, we would hit up the library, and I’m glad we did.

Christian and Andie : Puyallup Fair
Our dear friends, Christian and Andie, are getting married next year, and we couldn’t be more excited! When they told us they wanted to shoot their engagements at the Puyallup Fair, we said heck yes. The fair is one of our favorite events of the year, mostly for the food and people watching, and Christian and Andie feel the same. Andie said she was sure she’d be eating in every photo. We had a great time shooting these two beautiful people and cannot wait for their wedding at St. Paul’s in Port Gamble.

Kelsey and John : Seattle Engagement
When Kelsey wrote us to describe themselves, we got excited. They mentioned a love for music (including The XX, one of our favorite bands) and books, traveling through South America, KEXP and Sonic Boom Records — things about which we feel equally passionate. As we photographed them, we noticed even more similarities. We spent the morning on the UW campus, at Sonic Boom Records and around Ballard, photographing and laughing with this sweet couple. We look forward to their wedding in Seattle next month!

Aryel and Josh : Astoria, Oregon
I recently traveled to Oregon to watch Goonies and do some picture taking with my good friend, Roger, who was up from California for some film editorial work. While in beautiful Astoria, we photographed the lovely Aryel and Josh, who are engaged and getting married next year! We had a good time laughing and exploring Astoria with these love birds.

Katie and Ian : Tacoma
Spending time with Katie and Ian felt like being reunited with long lost friends. We met Ian last year on a flight to Los Angeles. He saw us working on photos and told us he was hoping to get engaged soon to his girlfriend, Katie. We were impressed by how genuine and friendly Ian was, and when we met Katie, we again were impressed. They are perfect for each other; not only with their good looks, but also with the love and kindness they exude. We are thrilled to photograph their Orcas Island wedding next year!

Sarah and Samson : Tacoma
Sarah and Samson are sweet and sincere — with people that surround them, and especially with each other. As we spent a few hours photographing them, we were quickly made aware of that sweetness and tenderness. Those honest emotions make for some of the most beautiful portraits. We don’t have to synthesize anything when it exists naturally. We anxiously anticipate their September wedding!

Jane and Marques : Tacoma
Jane and Marques both love sports. They also love teaching. But more importantly, they REALLY love each other. As we shot their engagement portraits, it became very apparent how deep their love is. They are a sweet, caring couple, and we can’t wait for their wedding! Travis and I like to hang out in forests. (We have a lot of them here in Washington.) We love the smells, the sounds and the majestic fir trees, but when we have couples like Jane and Marques with us, it makes it that much more enjoyable!
