Discover Unique PNW Wedding Venues on the Spring Wedding Tour! Personally, I love a good treasure hunt, and a few years ago we spent FULL DAYS out hunting for silly plastic treasure with the kids (thanks to a wonderful man known as Capt. Pepperjack). Planning a wedding is kind of like treasure hunting; you’re searching…
Wedding show season is always a whirlwind and it’s hard to believe the 2025 Puyallup Wedding Show is already over! We definitely weren’t disappointed as we packed up all our gear after show close, and pulled out of the Agriplex at the Washington State Fairgrounds (the very last vendor to leave that Sunday). If you…
Hey there, lovebirds! As someone who’s all about capturing those candid and heartfelt moments on your big day, I couldn’t be more excited to rave about Federal Way Buds & Blooms, your go-to spot for all things floral magic! I had the unique opportunity to meet their wedding team at Studio 253 for a content…
We’re excited to bring you the 2023 Seattle Wedding Show Recap. Ya’ll know wedding show weekend is one of my absolute favorite “work weekends”. The excitement buzzes through the air as dozens of vendors erect displays, they’ve worked HOURS creating and perfecting. The low rumble of chatter fills the once empty convention center space, as…
Della Terra: From the Earth. If you know, you know. Maybe I became a “foodie” overnight, but honestly it was the time living in NorCal that really did me in. The ironic kicker? At that time I thought “amazing eats” were only found at the Melting Pot and Elephant Bar (don’t hate yo). The truth…
Confession: Jake makes friends a whole lot easier than most people. I almost constantly hear stories about one of Jake’s buddies that does “this thing or that”. Jake has this odd knack for learning about people’s hobbies, and he comes home to tell me about them. I’ll be honest, he does this so often that…
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…
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…
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…
Imagine: You’re traveling down winding forest roads, the smell of the pine trees wafting through your open car windows. It feels like you’re deep in the woods, a million miles from the chaos of the city. You pull into a paved drive on your left, and are greeted by the smiling faces of Lori and…
Six years ago (yes SIX!) I was given the honor of photographing the wedding of Anna & Jared Hebert. When she mentioned Shangri-La on the Green, I knew I had heard of it in the past, but couldn’t remember ever visiting. So the day before the wedding, I packed up my Subaru and my 4…
