Courthouse Wedding | Preview

Yesterday I had the opportunity to capture a very sweet, intimate wedding at the Thurston County Courthouse. I've been to a lot of weddings recently... both professionally & personally and I have to say this one was one of the sweetest. Something about the intimacy of it. And when there are only a few close friends and family, you can hear every tear of joy. Just sweet. very sweet. 

Can't wait to look through & share them all. 

The Donners | Maternity & Baby Shower

Little baby Ella is a gift long awaited and I'm so blessed to be able to document all the steps towards meeting her face to face (less than a month now!!). As I've said before, I've known this couple for many years & out of the blue, last August they decided they wanted to get together for Anniversary photos. Little did they know, just a few months later, they'd receive a +sign that would change their lives forever!

We've met now for baby announcement photos, gender reveal party photos and a few weeks ago at the beautiful Tumwater Falls park for some maternity photos...

 And a very sweet baby shower....

Leah & Stuart Engaged!

SO much love and happiness between these two! I'm absolutely thrilled to share some of these photos from their engagement shoot - can't wait for what will be a beautiful wedding this August!!

Congrats Leah & Stuart!

McKenzie & Ryan | Engaged

This blog post has been a long time coming - and many of the pictures have already been shared on facebook - I have a REALLY hard time limiting the amount of pictures that I get right out for my clients to see and share with their friends - but I'm so happy to get them all into one place here on the blog!

What an adorable couple these two are! I was so excited to take them to a location that NO ONE has ever had their pictures taken before - they are the first - how cool is that?! I like my clients to feel special - like they are the only ones in the world getting married and unique locations are the perfect opportunity for that.

So excited for McKenzie & Ryan!
