I took photos of them when Luke was still a little baby, and now they’re a family of four with little Emily! Check out how adorable they are:

The perfect little family

 

Look at those gorgeous eyes

 

Too cute

We’ve had a couple engagement sessions for them in the past (you might remember the huskies!) and they finally had their wedding in July! They were married in the gorgeous Pioneer Park Pavilion in Puyallup and also had the reception there. It was a beautiful wedding for a beautiful couple. Congrats to the two of you, and everyone else enjoy these fun pictures!

One of my guestbooks! Instead of a wedding album, Haley and Kyle chose to have this custom-made book for guests to sign. It worked out well!

In this post, I wanted to update you guys with a couple engagement sessions I did over the last few months. And soon, I’ll be posting the summer weddings I’ve done. (I hope, I hope!) So here they are, enjoy!

 

Shaelynn & Charlie – What a cute couple, I tell ya. These two are truly in love and you can see it in these pictures! We wandered around by Titlow Beach in Tacoma, and then to Fireman’s Park, also in Tacoma. It was a great day with great light. These two were married this past July. Congrats guys!

And here are Hayley and Aaron, good friends of ours! We took these shots at Tumwater Falls in Olympia. What a  fun place to take pictures! (And equally fantastic is the fact that I’ve never heard of it!) These two are getting married in a few months on a cruise ship, woohoo!

And to start off, one of my favs!

My full-time job keeps me pretty busy, but I’ve been able to sneak in a wedding, and a few portrait sessions since the last time I posted! My intention is to keep up with this as the pictures come rolling in, so hopefully you’ll see more soon. Here is the amazing wedding I photographed in Disneyworld this past February! The lovely bride and groom are my friends Shannon and Nic, and they are a beautiful (and hilarious) couple, as you will see. Enjoy!

Well, I haven’t been able to post these for a while, but we were able to get into the Husky Stadium when the weather was great and get some exclusive Husky shots! They are big Husky fans, and since the UW is where I graduated from…so am I! Here are some of the shots, it was too much fun!

It was a great wedding. The ceremony was held at the St. Charles Borromeo Church in Tacoma and the reception was at the Slavonian Hall. All in all, what a great couple, great families, great food, and good good times! Congratulations Christiana and Brian. Here are some of my favorites pics of the day!
