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,...

Devon + Garrett | Engaged!

Markie Jones — Tue, 12 Sep 2023 17:49:02 +0000

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! Devon is the daughter of my across the street neighbor, and one of the neighborhood kids I grew up with. We’ve been connected for as long as I...

Early this spring, we had a booth for the Barn at Wilson Farm open house. I had a session that day, but Jake was able to stay and meet some new friends. Jenny and Albert were one of the couples he met that day and they loved him. We were so excited when they chose...

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...

Ft Steilacoom Engagement | Amanda + Mitchell

Markie Jones — Sat, 28 May 2022 03:29:13 +0000

This Ft Steilacoom engagement post is long overdue! I photographed Amanda + Mitchell’s engagement late last summer, and really loved getting to meet them. I fell behind in blogging with Zeke being so young (new mom brain fog ya’ll). Lucky for me, Amanda was a new mama as well and understood! I feel like I’ve...

Rainy PNW Engagement Session | Emily + Daniel

Markie Jones — Sun, 10 Apr 2022 21:39:41 +0000

Mount Rainier is a common request for PNW engagement sessions. But living like the mountain is out on a daily basis is hit or miss. The majestic mountain is a fickle friend, and sometimes just plain refuses to work with us. Emily + Daniel’s rainy PNW engagement session was one of those times where Rainier...

Gold Creek Pond Engagement | Brianna + Brennan

Markie Jones — Mon, 21 Feb 2022 16:26:11 +0000

Brennan and Brianna’s engagement session was all the way up at Gold Creek pond. This is one of my favorite areas to come to, for adventure sessions, just because I like the slower pace of the hike. You can walk all the way out and around the pond finding some really beautiful backdrops for photos....
