David + Devon // Engaged

In just a few short days these two are getting married!!! 

I have known Devon for a quite a few years now. I worked with her mom, Elizabeth when I lived in Seattle and she and I became great friends. I would go to her house often and she and her family would watch my dogs when I had to go out of town. I love everything about Elizabeth, Devon and Randy. They are the kindest people and it has been such a pleasure watching Devon grow into the beautiful and mature woman that she is now. 

It was so fun to watch her relationship with David bloom. When I heard that they got engaged last November, I was so overjoyed with happiness for the two of them and their families. When Devon contacted me about photographing their wedding, I was even more excited and honored that they would want me there to capture their most special day. 

I hadn't met David until this past Saturday when we went out to the Mukilteo Lighthouse to do some engagement photos with the two of them, but he was exactly as I expected: kind, funny and head over heels in love with his future bride. 

These two have amazing chemistry and you can tell their love is solidified in something much bigger than the just the two of them. I am so excited to capture their covenant and union this Friday at the Pickering Barn in Issaquah. Hurry up and get here Friday!!!

Love you two!

Megan + Scott // Engaged

It was an unseasonably warm winter day in December of last year and while Megan and Scott were walking on the beach with their two pups Oliver and Olivia and Megan was curiously wondering why Scott was wearing long sleeves. When he got down on one knee in the sand it all made sense. He was concealing her great grandmothers ring that he had gotten last week when he took her parents out to dinner to ask for her hand in forever. 

Megan and Scott grew up two houses away from each other. (How crazy is that?!?!) Their parents went to highschool together and were great friends. Despite the fact that their lives were so intertwined from an early age, they didn't start dating until 2015. They had been through a lot individually and then realized their perfect match was right there all along. 

Its been such a pleasure getting to know Megan and Scott better. They are awesome, fun, laid back all around good people and they are pretty much obsessed with their dogs. Those are the exact kind of people I want to be around. ;-) 

When Megan suggested Bushkill Falls for their engagement session I was totally pumped for a unique and fun session experience. I don't think any of us knew what we were in for! The falls were amazing! We were both expecting a brief hike in the woods to get to the falls, but what we discovered was an intricate set of trails that had been created for optimum waterfall viewing pleasure! It was a steep decline down to the bottom to get a view of the main falls (and then of course that meant going back up!!), but we all had a great time checking out the area, navigating the stairs, watching another couple get engaged (totally happened!) and then making our way back up the hill for some ice cream! 

I love all of the images that we came away with from this unique waterfall session and I can NOT WAIT for their wedding this summer. It is going to be a fantastic celebration of their love with family and friends!!
