For a while there, receptions were banned so not every wedding had centerpieces. I mean, it’s hard to drop money on a centerpiece when you’re not having a reception. Even though they were fewer and farther between, these are the centerpieces that still gave us heart eyes. Sweet + Simple Lavender Mason Jars Pretty tiered…
Intimate weddings have become such a thing that even with the loosened COVID restrictions, they don’t appear to be going away anytime soon! I’ll be honest, I am THRILLED that intimate weddings are here to stay. But how do you add wow factor when your guest count is low? The good news is, it isn’t…
Few things speak to my heart as much as one four letter word. FOOD. When I’m pregnant, you can basically quadruple that feeling. I’m all about the food. However, a good lesson (for me) in researching your venues ahead of time was this wedding at Russell’s in Bothell. I had no idea I’d be stepping…
The one thing I’m really glad we didn’t have to give up in 2020 was the couple’s portraits! Its such a huge part of your wedding and planning to have these photos with your partner. Did you also know it’s the #1 regret I hear from my married friends who got married without a photographer?…
Two quick questions: Do you live near one of the best wedding venues? And if you do, have you been there? I grew up a whopping 15 minutes from The Kelley Farm, which is one Washington’s most spectacular wedding venues. It’s a pretty rare event if I can log into the wedding groups and NOT…
In the spirit of Throwback Thursdays, I’ve decided to put together a little blog series of all my favorite shots! Sure, I could have started with 2016, but that would have been a really short post. So instead, we’re starting with 2020 and we’ll go from there! Be sure to check out the blog posts…
One of my best kept secrets is that I really love the smell of paper. I’ve always been a bit of a bibliophile. It’s mostly because of the smell when you crack open the book. But it doesn’t just stop there. I was overjoyed when I found Impress Ink and got my hands on some…
Last year was one for the books, wasn’t it? Going from living every day life without a care in the world to total and complete lockdown where weddings were illegal is something none of us ever thought would actually happen! Sure, there were half a dozen or more movies with that plot line, but did…
Well, hellooooooo 2021. I’m sure you’ve been following along for a while and know it’s so very rare that I offer sales to the public. (Typically you have to be part of my email list in order to get any special deals). But today, I’m excited to be announcing a special deal ya’ll can take…
After years of driving past this quaint venue, I FINALLY got the opportunity to tour it… and then the crazy season hit, I found out I was pregnant and my blog got pushed to the wayside. Oiy. So I’m catching up and blogging this beautiful space today! Just off the beaten path If you’ve ever…
We’re coming to the blog today with a pretty incredible Historic Victorian Manor Venue! The Orting Manor was one of those pretty little gems that sat on my venue wish list for YEARS before I was gifted the opportunity to photograph a wedding there. Recently, the Orting Manor was purchased by new owners who put…
It’s no question that my favorite places are those where your soul feels instantly at peace. Edlynn Farm proved to be one such place, from the moment I turned on the long gravel drive. Posts on Facebook say “Escape to Edlynn Farm” and they’re not kidding. This beautiful wedding venue is truly an escape. Following…
