Like every new year, I start with these big plans. One of which for this month was to post to the blog a minimum of 2x per week. Oiy. Well, it’s week two and I’m a little bit behind already… for good reason though! The beginning of January was back to back weekends at wedding…
Many moons ago (13 years actually!) I attended the Seattle Wedding Show for the first time as a very young bride. Sadly, it wasn’t the best experience for me that year. I’m THRILLED to say the show has evolved into an AMAZING selection of vendors, many of which I’m proud to say are my friends…
Santa Claus is coming to town! Halloween may be my absolute favorite holiday, but I’m secretly one of those closet Christmas Freaks. I might have dreams of a Christmas Tree in every room, different themes for holiday decor and a weird love for Die Hard. (It IS a Christmas movie, though recent memes have made…
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…
Wherever you go… I will follow Let me start by saying, I love the couples that Brookstom Creek continually sends to me. Angie is amazing at knowing which ones I’ll kick it off with, and who’s going to be the perfect #mjcouple! Rachel and Scott are two of the latest in a long string of…
“Adventure is worthwhile in itself” – Amelia Earhart A Love Story Lost in the Woods: Alycia & Nick’s Adventurous Engagement Session at Tradition Lake Some people just click—you meet them, and it’s like you’ve known each other for years. That was Alycia and Nick. From the moment we finally nailed down a date, I knew…
These two are a couple of my favorite people, and I don’t get to see them nearly enough! So this year, I decided to reach out to Dawn for a few ideas. Even though my boudoir sessions didn’t end up happening (next year ya’ll!) I was still thrilled to head over to Dawn’s beautifully decorated…
I’m looking for someone to share in an adventure… Miranda + Wayne’s Gold Creek Pond Engagement There’s something magical about a Gold Creek Pond Engagement. Maybe it’s the way the water reflects the surrounding peaks like a watercolor painting. Or maybe it’s how the light filters through the pines just perfectly at sunset. But on…
No one wants a wedding day disaster. And I mean NO ONE. But sometimes, those wedding disasters find us without our even trying. My Halloween wedding dress started out as a disaster, but thanks to a wonderful vendor, it became a dress I could only have dreamed of. The hunt for the perfect Halloween Wedding…
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…
