You can call it kismet, fate or a force of the universe. Sometimes the stars just align and we end up doing that one thing we really love no matter where we’re physically located at the time. This is one of those stories. It’s a story about that one time I crashed a wedding in…
I’ve been lucky to meet some pretty awesome people in the past couple years via Facebook groups, workshops and networking. One of those awesome people is Juli of Bonell Photography out of Hoqium. I was thrilled when she asked me to second shoot for her in October at Lake Quinault Lodge, even though it meant…
Kismet happens on a regular basis around here. It’s what lead me to Brookstom Creek, and what leads some pretty amazing couples to us as a whole. Makenzie and Garret were one such couple. These adorable lovebirds tied the knot in a beautiful October wedding where their high school teacher officiated their wedding. Yes, you…
One of the greatest things about meeting clients at Brookstom Creek’s open houses is that instant click. When Haylee walked up, there was almost a spark in the air that said “You need to accept this wedding”. As she approached I overheard “This one is the photographer I wanted to book, but she’s not available”….
It’s rare nowadays, that I find couples (other than myself) who choose to skip the engagement session, but Donna and Aaron live busy lives too! Their dreams for a sunny wedding day truly tested Donna’s laid back personality but in the end, the rainbow was worth it. Donna was amazing while the team tossed around…
There once was a tree. A little boy loved this tree very much, and after many years of climbing this tree, brought his beloved to the base to be married. This is the story of the Moody Friday the 13th Wedding… For my birthday this year, I booked a wedding. I came home to a…
I look forward to every Brookstom Creek Wedding I get to photograph, but this one in particular really had me itching for September to arrive. Mariah and Kasey are two of the sweetest people you’ll meet, and I was honored to be chosen to stand by their side. I couldn’t have picked a sweeter couple…
One of my favorite things about Brookstom creek is it’s versatility. The location itself holds more of a rustic charm, but with a bit of creativity (and extra helping hands) you can create a luxurious feel to the blank canvas. Cori and Stephen’s wedding is a prime example: think Joanna Gaines meets Seattle’s Sodo. Not…
I feel like I could talk about fate for every single wedding this year. As luck would have it, Krystyn and Scott’s wedding was another fateful moment in the books. Krystyn and Scott originally married a few years ago. At the time, they couldn’t afford the big wedding Krystyn dreamed of, so they put it…
A mountain elopement with a bride in a black dress? Yes please. I fully, one hundred and ten percent believe in fate. People are brought into our lives for many reasons, one being to show us the way to our true selves. Every wedding this year has been that way for me. Keira and Wade’s…
Every bride wants their best friend by their side and this Brookstom Creek Wedding was no different. Vibing was easy with Megan, like finding your number one soul sister! When she introduced me to Don, he was hesitant to trust me (after all, I was the photographer and he wasn’t thrilled about photos) but even…
Life has a tendency to take us in directions we never imagined. Take Josh and Rachael for example. Rachael admitted she never thought she would get married and hadn’t day dreamed about her wedding day before she was engaged. But she met Josh at work and one day everything just clicked. They were having family…
