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…
Nestled in North Tacoma, the Browns Point Improvement Club sits overlooking Commencement Bay. One whole wall of windows lends to the feel of being right on the water. Slightly north sits the Browns Point Lighthouse, making this a perfect location for any water loving couple. An Early Return We ran into Nicole and her mom…
I’m pretty sure it’s become one of my favorite things; to shoot alongside Lessie Blue Photography. I’m surprised she’s not totally annoyed by my insistent asking if she needs someone to shoot with her. Haha! Lucky for me, she invited me along for what would be my biggest challenge yet. A beautiful indoor wedding at…
Leslie and Sean’s love story is one with twists and turns of fate. Many years ago, they were together, but life took them in different directions. Both ended up with other relationships that lead to families and adorable children. Eventually, they found their way back to each other before tying the knot in their Lake…
