Courtney + ChrisFishermens Terminal EngagementSeattle, WA

I recently spent some time with Courtney and Chris for a Fishermens Terminal engagement session that started there before moving to Magnolia’s sprawling Discovery Park.

We were blessed with sunny skies and moderate temperatures while we found interesting stuff around the net warehouses to work with as locations while also incorporating the fishing boats and docks found all around this iconic area below the Ballard Bridge in Seattle, WA.

Chris and Courtney chose to work with the incomparably talented Barb Whipple of Plume Wedding Concepts for their wedding at Swan’s Trail Farms and getting to know them ahead of photographing their wedding proved to be invaluable in regards to getting to know them much, much better while providing them a large collection of images that they elected to turn into a guest sign-in book.

Hugs, kisses, hard light, maritime backdrops and a piggyback ride. Good times.

Renata + ChrisQueen Anne EngagementSeattle, WA

Hello 2013!  How lucky am I that I get to work with Renata and Chris to fulfill their request for a Queen Anne engagement session near their home.

We were #soblessed with a beautiful, sunny day and leisurely followed the good light before it quickly left us altogether after some introductory (and nerve-calming) beverages at the Hilltop Alehouse on Queen Anne and tasty Cubanos from El Diablo.

These two are SMART.  And they save lives.  And they have a fantastic Australian shepherd named Ruddy with a winning personality.  FWIW, Ruddy is also the first organism with a heart beat to ride in the back of my beloved wagon.

The session began by working some low, warm light in Parson’s Garden before exploring nearby textures provided the many phenomenal homes in the area. As we were just a few days into the new year it was very cold so snuggling for the couple came naturally and be necessity!

Ruddy rules.  So do Chris and Renata.  I can’t wait for their Seattle Aquarium wedding with Emily from Manette Gracie making things purdy and keeping the timeline Swiss.
