The first time these two "met" was when Brandt was riding a chariot (home made and pulled by his roomamte) across a football field. I had to put "met" in quotes, because it wasn't all that much of a true meeting. They started to know of each other's existence is perhaps a better way to put it. Brandt would ask his friend to tell Shayna hello, and they would try and flirt through said friend until she said "talk to her yourself!" and they would start talking over Snapchat.
Read MoreIf you remember some of my previous blogs, you might have seen me feature some very kind reviews I have received from past weddings I’ve photographed. Well, it has been quite a long minute since I have been able to share some of those amazing reviews! Although, I am more than pumped to be able to re-continue and start sharing these extremely kind reviews again!
Read MoreMike and Kendra met like so many other people do. On Tinder. So these two amazing people swiped right on each other. I asked them what caused that swipe. Mike said not only did love the way she looked but also how she was active, outdoors, and seemed so genuine. Kendra told me that she thought Mike was sexy - well, not in those exact terms but you get the idea.
Read MoreGarrett and Alyssa, two people I have seen at more weddings than almost any other couple. I think Alyssa has either been in or attended five different weddings I’ve photographed. That’s amazing. I’ve taken their pictures at multiple weddings, so as Garrett put it at the end of our engagement session “it’s about time it’s our turn!” I couldn’t agree more. It’s so cool how they met as well, from going to school with each other - although not really ever talking, to finally meeting (although not in person).
Read MoreI’ve had the chance to go on multiple adventures with these two. From a (very) cold engagement session, to a smoky early morning hike to the top of a mountain, to a late,, black tie evening at the Centennial hotel for a New Years eve party and reception, it’s all been a blast. These two have always been kind, ready for anything, and I have absolutely loved capturing each moment with them. I hope you also take the time to check out their Colchuck Lake elopement photos that went up on the blog a couple months ago. That said, here are some of my favorite photos from Robbie and Cassie’s New Years Eve Wedding!
Read MoreTo say I’m a huge fan of the Pavlin’s is an understatement. And really, “Pavlin” is only a small portion of this beautiful family, but they were my main contact so that’s what I’m going with! Anyway, I’ve had the chance to get to know this whole family over the course of the last twelve years (which blows my mind) but much more so over the last seven or so. Chris and Bryanna are to people I consider friends, and love spending time with. It’s been a huge joy of mine to not only photograph their engagement out in Seattle, but also their wedding, and their family photos, and their other family photos, and their other family photos - I think you get the idea. It is insane to me to watch a family grow up, and it is such an incredible honor to be there at each amazing step.
