David + Devon // Seattle

It was the perfect day. The temperature was just right. The sky was bright blue with big puffy clouds. It was the day they had been counting down to since November, July 15th, 2016...the day they would finally become husband and wife. 

As I mentioned in their engagement blog post, I've known Devon since she was a teen and it has been an honor and privilege to see her grow into the mature woman she has become. 

Everything about their day was so incredibly special. The excitement was palpable leading up to their first look and when they finally got to see each other.....I could hardly hold back the tears myself as they took in a few moments to themselves before they were to commit the rest of their lives to each other before God, friends and family. 

Devon and David are two incredibly special people who are being used powerfully by God to do great work and I am confident that their union as husband and wife is only the beginning of everything God has planned for them. 

I am so honored they chose me to capture the beginning of their story and I love the memories and moments that Paul and I were able to document for them and their family. My absolute favorite moment was their hug in the room in the back right before they signed their certificate, when it had all sunk in...they were finally husband and wife!!!

My second favorite moment was when they noticed the framed photo on their table at the reception. Devons mom got them the frame a while back and she and I planned on getting them a photo from their portrait session in the frame that same day. It was tough, but we did it, and the looks on both of their faces was priceless when they realized what it was. 

Devon, I love you and have so enjoyed watching you grow up and become the woman you are. David, it is a pleasure to now know you better and understand why it is that Devon loves you so much. Enjoy these images and your gallery will be coming soon! 

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!
