Reed & Joannah's Wedding

Reed & Joannah got married on beautiful Whidbey Island and it was a flawless day. The venue, Crockett Farms, made the day so magical with their hard work on the florals, decor, coordination, and just by having a stunning, quiet setting to get married at. The bridal party was a combination of friends and family of Reed and Joannah's and were all so kind, and very entertaining. Reed's sister, who was also the "Best Man," surprised everybody with an awesome rap for her toast, complete with a back-up dancer. All of the kiddos were having such a good time, and had killer dance-moves too. The whole evening was one big celebration and the dancing was wild. I was lucky enough to get to be the one to capture it all, and I hope you enjoy!

Aysha & Ashton

How lucky am I to get the privilege of capturing the sweetest, most precious times in people's lives?! I cherish the fact that my brides come back to me for maternity photos and family photos after their weddings. Aysha and Ashton's wedding last year was one for the books, and now they are preparing to become a family of three. I absolutely adore these two, and am so excited to meet Amiyah Mae! Can we all agree she is going to be one BEAUTIFUL baby girl?!! 

Side-note: Check out their wedding film from almost exactly 1 year ago... 

Happy Anniversary again you two! 

If there was ever one wedding where I just didn't want to leave and wanted to re-live over and over again, this would be it. Ashton and Aysha know how to throw a good party that's for sure! As the best man says, their love is infectious. Their wedding was full of laughter, love, friendships, family, tears, and joy. Truly. After the ceremony, they had an unplanned moment with just the couple and Ashton's siblings, honoring his younger brother who passed away recently. It was a moment that I will remember forever. Aside from that, you could just feel the JOY radiating from everyone there - Ashton and Aysha, your support system is THERE! Everyone at your wedding truly loves you guys and believes in you 100%… I could feel it, just witnessing it and being there, you guys are truly loved. Thank you guys for giving me the privilege of capturing your very beautiful and special day! I had an absolute blast, and am so lucky to now call you guys my friends!

Mike & Laura

Mike and Laura are a dynamic duo. They exude so much energy, positivity, kindness, and joy as individuals... and then you put them together, and you have this infectious couple that everyone just wants to be around. They are also MADLY in love. I knew the first time I met with them that their wedding day would be nothing short of a fairytale. 

That it was! Laura and Mike live in London. To plan this amazing Seattle celebration from a different country is first of all - hard to do - but I could not believe how amazing it turned out!! I mean I knew it was going to be good... but their wedding celebration was truly phenomenal! Their guests came from all over the world, so it was only fitting that the wedding was travel/global inspired. It was very neat to see a combination of different family and friends from so many places come together and celebrate Mike and Laura the way they did. The live band was magnificent and the joy on everybody's faces lasted all night long. The evening got even more entertaining when we had some very special guest appearances! See for yourself below. 

I was so humbled to meet so many people from around the world, whom who were all so kind and friendly. Mike and Laura, thank you for having me be a part of your wedding day. It was truly an honor!

Be sure to check out their wedding film that I produced as well, below. It was truly an extraordinary day!

Young Love

I have never seen such a young couple more in tune with each other. James and Kaitlyn are not only adorable, but the affection, respect, admiration, and love that they have for each other is so sweet. I knew Kaitlyn before-hand, but it was such a joy to spend time with the both of them and get to know James, too. I can't wait for their wedding one day... I mean, I guess their engagement first ;)
