It’s October which means it’s my favorite month an It’s October which means it’s my favorite month and not just for the fall colors.

October was the month I married my high school sweetheart. (Nathan and I just celebrated our 9 year wedding anniversary!)

It was also the month our son was born. My heart outside my body in tiny human form who seems to want to walk any day now. 🥹😭

His first birthday is coming up and I am feeling unwell. One of the many things motherhood has taught me is how fleeting time is. Having moments of time like these of my little family at my favorite place in the world will be cherished forever and ever and ever. 🫶🏻

Thank you @amandajaephotography ✨

A sunny fall day up in the mountains. A perfect, s A sunny fall day up in the mountains. A perfect, slightly chilly morning with a full parking lot and yet nearly nobody on our chosen trail. These two have a history of bad weather during important moments. This time, we got lucky. We booked their engagement session last minute on the only date that worked for all 3 of us. We were hopeful but ready for the unpredictability of Mother Nature, and she chose to shine upon us. A cotton candy sunrise, incredible sun flare balanced with soft diffused light behind the clouds. It was so beautiful. ✨

A few quiet moments from a wedding at the beautifu A few quiet moments from a wedding at the beautiful Thornewood Castle. We have an upcoming wedding here and just yesterday I received another inquiry for a wedding here next summer. 😍✨ The history, gardens and architecture will always feel so romantic and enchanting.

I absolutely love this first photo of the bride walking down the aisle with her mom. The way the light was catching her veil just before she walked down the steps- chefs kiss. 

This wedding was with the lovely @fieldandfoundphoto. I’m going to miss you so much but now I just gotta find a way to come visit you in Florida. 😘

Also OOPS I totally disappeared from posting on instagram but hello again! 🤗 I’m still over here documenting incredible love stories with my team, spending hours in the editing cave and momming through it all.

Nobody knew it was coming.

Whitaker and Spencer are sea kayakers, so when they picked a Seattle wedding venue on Lake Union, the water was always going to be part of it. Some of their paddling friends had already floated over to watch the ceremony from the lake.

What no one expected was that partway through the evening the 2 of them would disappear, climb into their kayaks in full wedding attire, and circle the boat while every guest crowded onto the deck to watch. Her dress trailed across the water behind her. Iconic. ✨

The whole day was built that way. Portraits took 15 minutes, because they wanted the rest of the hours for the people who traveled to be there. In their own words, they wanted to spend the wedding “living the day rather than staging it.”

Which is exactly the point. A day like this doesn’t need to be directed. It needs someone paying close enough attention to catch it when it happens, and ready when the two of you decide to go paddle. 🥰

The wind caught the veil right as they turned to f The wind caught the veil right as they turned to face each other, the whole Seattle skyline behind them. Married on a 100 year old ferry, in the middle of Lake Union, with the city as the backdrop.

Emma and Casey said their vows out on the bow, guests seated close enough to catch every word.

You could read the whole day in who showed up for it. A grandfather wiping his eyes a few seats back. A table of printed memories echoing the history of these two brides and their love story.

And now this day joins them. One they’ll remember forever, the day they said I do.

It was December, and no one was thinking about the It was December, and no one was thinking about the weather.

A live band, a full dance floor, and a grandfather who out-danced everyone half his age. People imagine a Seattle wedding as gray skies and a summer garden, but the winter weddings we photograph hold the exact same warmth. Different light, different season, same room full of people who came to let go.

The couples we work with tend to build their days around this feeling.

Not the choreography or the spectacle. But the reunion of everyone they love finally together in one place. 🫶🏻 The dance floor is just where it becomes visible. In summer it spills outside - in winter, it packs into a glowing tent and somehow burns even brighter.

Years from now, you won’t remember whether the timing ran perfectly. You’ll remember who was in the room, and how it felt when they were all dancing.
