Tom and Lissa's Anniversary Announcement Shoot on Mt. Spokane

Tom and Lissa met over 20 years ago, how do I know? Well, coming up this New Year, they will have been married for twenty years. Woah! Twenty years is no small piece of time, and it is so exciting to be able to be there when they renew their vows at the Historic Davenport. This shoot on top of Mt. Spokane was absolutely awesome for me, getting to know these two, watching them interact and laugh together. Such a great couple, and I am so excited to share these moments with you.

Austin and Kindal's Farragut State Park Engagement

They met at work - kind of. Basically Kindal would walk by Austin's job every day on the way to her job - but they wouldn’t' talk. This would happen for months, but one day Kindal would be a "recommended follow" on Instagram, so he would do so. Kindal noticed, and hoped he would reach out - he didn't. That is, unless you count him responding to a poll she made once.

Dan and Kaylene's Engagement Photos Downtown CDA

They met a long time ago. First when neither of them were available (although Dan made an impression with his goofy self even back then) but then again when they were. You see, Kaylene worked with Dan's daughter. So one day - on his birthday - Dan called his daughter and invited her and the people in her office to come down to Pig-Out-In-The-Park with him and get lunch. This included Kaylene.

Marc & Amber's Engagement in Manito Park

They met 22 years ago at a conference. It was 1999, and they came together as a group of professionals, and Marc and Amber hit it off. They talked a lot over the course of the four day conference, but in the end, they would go home back to their lives. No numbers were exchanged, and because it was 1999, that also meant that's about where the potential to build on a friendship ended. They would end up seeing each other one more time a year later, and be reminded at just how well they fit - how well they got along - but again, that would end.

Engagement on the Palouse with Eric and Magda

They met on Tinder - as so many couples do these days. They talked for a couple days, but eventually decided to meet. Magda, being the careful woman she is, decided to meet in a busy place, in the middle of the day, downtown CDA - But the place Eric chose was closed. Magda - being who she is - showed up about 10 minutes early, so she selected a location across the street for them to meet. That means, that when Eric showed up (only one or two minutes late) she spotted him from inside and went out to meet him.

Bryce and Monica's Washington Coast Engagement

Bryce and Monica are magnetic. And not just to each other (which they definitely are) but to others. They are so thoughtful in the way they talk and interact, they are fun and kind, I genuinely had a great time with them on the Washington Coast - which, can we just say, is a pretty awesome place to do engagement photos. The only thing I was bummed about in this situation is we had a completely overcast sky this day. That said, it meant we got some really soft light (which is beautiful) and no bright hot-spots. Now, I would normally tell you the little bits of the couples story in these blogs, and I do know that Bryce and Monica met in the military. The Infantry - if I remember correctly - where Monica was one of very few women in a branch of the military that has traditionally only allowed men.
