I am so happy to share some photos from my session with this sweet family of four (Gomez included of course)!

I was thrilled when Sarah contacted me about capturing Mabel's One Year session!

We had the honor of capturing their maternity photos and Mabel's newborn photos last year!

One of my favorite things is getting to follow families from maternity to newborn and beyond.

It is so fun to watch families and their little one's as they grow.

Mabel is such a little angel and so beautiful!

I just can not get over how adorable she is!

Sarah & Creighton are such wonderful parents to both of their babies.

Gomez and Mabel are so cute together and both loved hanging out in the grass!

Wedding Photography ~ Heather & Ron ~ Suquamish Clearwater Resort

I am so excited to share the story of Heather & Ron's fairytale wedding day!

We began the day capturing Heather and Ron with their wedding party in their separate suites at the Clearwater Resort!

As we we're capturing the details of the day, I read their invitation which begins "Once in a while, right in the middle of ordinary life, love gives us a fairytale" and for the first time while shooting details, I got teary eyed. I remember meeting Ron and Heather for the first time and hearing all about their love story and how it just seemed so meant to be!

We truly appreciate the honor of being able to capture their big day!

Heather made such a stunning bride!

She paid such careful attention to every detail of her day.

From the pieces of lace from her mother's wedding dress that she added to her own, to the beach themed ring bearer box, to the beautiful floating centerpieces and so much more.

What was even more touching, was all the emotions that were so apparent on their faces throughout their big day!

The laughter, the tears, and the love exuding from the two of them was so genuine and so sweet!

They have the prefect mixture of love and fun!

My favorite thing was watching as Heather threw her arms into the air and proudly announced, "I am Mrs. Skramstad" multiple times throughout the day!

The love comes not only from the two of them but from all of the friends and family they had surrounding them!

Of all the weddings I have been to Ron and Heather had the most people who wanted a chance to toast to their marriage!

The dance floor was packed with everyone having a great time!

I was so impressed by Heather's parents who didn't seem to leave the dance floor all night!

I know Heather and Ron are going to have a life filled with love and happiness!

I can't wait to hear where their love story takes them!

I'm excited to share more of beautiful baby Bentlee and her sweet mama!

I had the pleasure of capturing Bentlee's newborn photos when she was just 2 weeks new!

It was so fun to spend the afternoon with these two!

Bentlee was such a little angel and Meagan is such a natural mommy!

It was so hard to believe that it had only been 2 weeks since Meagan brought Bentlee into the world! She was so calm and knew exactly what her sweet girl needed at all times.

Wedding Photography ~ Cammie & Brandon's Wedding ~ Golden Gardens

I am so excited to share more from Cammie & Brandon's big day!

We spent the first half of the day with Cammie and her girls at an Airbnb near Golden Gardens!

It was such a cute little house, such a fun place to capture the girls sipping mimosa's and hanging out to start the day!

My favorite moment was when Cammie's mom got the first glimpse of her daughter in her wedding dress!

So much true emotion and such a sweet moment just between, mom, daughter, and maid of honor!

Then we headed to Golden Gardens to snap a few shots of the guys before Cammie & Brandon shared their sweet first look!

The weather was so perfect for a January beach wedding, sunny & blue skies but of course still chilly!

Then Cammie and Brandon, were so sweet to spend the next part of their day welcoming their friends and family before the ceremony began!

Their day was filled with so many fun details, from the dinosaur mason jar centerpieces, to the personalized music walking down the aisle, to the grand entrances in to the reception (see below to see how much fun it was!!)

Not to mention, Cammie & Brandon were awesome on the dance floor.

It is clear to see how much Cammie & Brandon thoroughly enjoyed every moment of their big day!

I am excited to share a sneak peek from Heather & Ron's wedding day!

My favorite thing about their big day, was seeing how they really felt every single emotion.

Seeing the look on Ron's face as he saw his stunning bride for the first time.

Watching tears fill her mom's eyes as she saw her daughter in her wedding dress, which was detailed with lace from her own wedding gown.

Seeing the fun and laughter between Heather, Ron, and all their friends on the dance floor.

I start to tear up just looking back on these moments and remembering those emotions.

It reminds me just how lucky we are to have captured it!

Thank you, Heather and Ron, for choosing us to capture your big day!

We can't wait to share more!

I am so excited to share more from my session with this beautiful mama-to-be, Meagan!

Meagan is expecting a baby girl this April!

We met up on a sunny but chilly day at Scenic Beach State Park!

It's been a while since I last shot at Scenic Beach, so I forgot what a beautiful location it is!

Such a great location for both the beach and some nice shaded woodsy areas!

Pregnancy looks so good on Meagan & she was up for anything!

I can't wait to meet little Bentlee!

Weddings ~ Niquee & Brent ~ St. Paul's Church & Hood Canal Vista Pavilion

Friday, February 3, 2017

I am excited to share the story of Niquee & Brent's wedding!

Niquee & Brent got married in the cutest little town, Port Gamble!
(I may be biased as I got married here too!)

Their ceremony took place at St. Paul's Church and their reception was down the street at The Hood Canal Vista Pavilion.
St. Paul's Church is so pretty and the Hood Canal Vista Pavilion has so many windows and doors showcasing the beautiful view of the Hood Canal!

The church and pavilion were filled with so many personal touches.
They had hand lettered chalkboards, engraved toasting glasses & cake cutters, a personalized dress hanger, a monogram on the mantel along with adorable photos of the bride & groom from throughout their relationship which served as centerpieces.

Niquee & Brent's day was so full of love.
From the tears in Brent's eyes as he saw his beautiful bride for the first time on their wedding day, to their sweet ceremony, to all of the love of their friends and family surrounding them.
It was a beautiful day!
