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…
Even through all the COVID madness, I’m pretty grateful for 2020. We gained a LOT of family time, and made some awesome vendor connections! I have to admit, when Andrea from Altimeter Cabin contacted me, it felt a little out of the blue. However, it lead to a beautiful collaboration and I’m honored to have…
Let’s be honest: It’s taken me WAY TOO LONG to sit down and write this Tipsoo blog post. But I mean, there was that whirlwind September wedding season, a fire that had us on evacuation alert, homeschooling and I probably had to make soup or some other excuse. So here we are two months after…
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…
Whenever we watch Star Wars, we’re always hoping that Princess Leia ends up with Han Solo, even if we’ve seen the ending a million times. Furthermore, we’re always disappointed that more recent movies have them broken up (though this explanation by Carrie Fischer is HILARIOUS). Lucky for Kaitlin and Aaron, they’ll handle the schwartz just…
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…
Usually, I’d write this blog post all about the day of Taylor and Dustin’s gorgeous wedding and tell you the details of the what, where and when. I promise I’ll get to that in a minute. Before I do, I want to tell you a little story of where this Snohomish Backyard Ceremony fell into…
Eloping. It may or may not be the number one thing on your mind right now. For some of you, you’ve always dreamed of that romantic private elopement. But for the rest of you, eloping is just a means to an end in a time where there doesn’t seem to be another choice. Either way,…
Being perfectly honest, I feel like Rona robbed us of all that is wonderful and exciting about the months leading up to the 2020 wedding season. Typically, January through May is filled with all kinds of wedding shows, open houses and other opportunities to meet local vendors. This year, couples and vendors alike missed out…
Yes, it’s only August and we’re already thinking about Fall Engagement Sessions. Fall in Washington is a bit of a bipolar beast. It can be beautifully crisp and sunny one day, then dreary and monsoon weather the next. Having backup fall engagement session locations is a must for every couple wanting cozy photos. Below are…
I’ve said it once, I’ll say it again. I LOVE this bar. Choosing the Forum was a perfect option for Cori and Stephen. Both a bit nervous about having their photo taken, this was the ultimate warm up to their three part engagement. Loosen up with a drink Just don’t get drunk. No one needs…
Forget the wedding day: The wedding weekend is here! A new trend in weddings, it’s becoming clearer that couples aren’t interested in limiting their celebrations to one day. Why on earth did anyone think it was a good idea to cram ALL THESE THINGS into one day? Being able to space them out and take…
