Why “Perfect Timing” Is a Myth (And Why You Deserve Engagement Photos Right Now)

Markie Jones — Sun, 19 Oct 2025 16:05:01 +0000

If I had a dollar for every time I heard someone say, “We’re just waiting for the perfect time to take our engagement photos,” I’d probably be sitting on a beach in Santorini right now, sipping something fruity and pretending I don’t have four kids and a camera bag full of granola bars. But friend,...

The overwhelming joy of getting to photograph friends weddings is unmeasurable. This year I was able to photograph the wedding of not one childhood friend, but TWO!

Vendor Grievances: What do you do?

Markie Jones — Thu, 19 Jan 2023 08:08:00 +0000

Over the summer last year, I was added to a group on Facebook where disappointed brides were airing all the yuck on the vendors who did them dirty. When the surprise wore off (and I’d thoroughly checked to make sure my name and my vendor friend’s names weren’t in any of the posts) I could...

Cannon Beach Engagement | M+J

Markie Jones — Thu, 18 Aug 2022 05:51:52 +0000

Back in May, our family decided we needed to go visit a Pacific Coast Icon: Cannon Beach. I’m sure Jake and I had been there at some point growing up (not together obviously), but none of our kids had gotten the opportunity to visit. Our trip created the perfect opportunity to shoot a Cannon Beach...

Reasons to have a PNW Engagement Session

Markie Jones — Fri, 27 Jul 2018 15:38:33 +0000

The PNW engagement session seems to be one of those things a lot of people deem unnecessary. Sometimes the groom isn’t really “into” the idea of being photographed more than necessary, and sometimes it’s just not in the budget for the overall wedding. But PNW engagement sessions are important for more than just announcing your...

The Pacific Northwest isn’t known for the sun, so when we planned with Madison and Samuel for their PNW engagement session to include a hike up to Pinnacle Peak, it wasn’t surprising that Washington and Mother Nature decided to drop a storm on us! After almost an entire week of gorgeous weather, she gave us...
