Sorry for the extreme lack of posts lately. 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!

I love this!

Favorite of mine...oh the thoughts that go through your head before tying the knot!

Look how happy Nic looks

Inside the Grand Floridian...just beautiful

Another fav!

Dylan and Brittanee are such a fun couple! We took their engagement shots at Point Defiance Park in Tacoma and had a really good time. I’ve known these two since I started dating Josh, so it was extra fun. Enjoy some of these shots and congratulations Dylan and Brittanee!

My favorite!

Remember Kyle and Haley’s engagement pics from a couple months back? 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!

Good news!

After a long, strenuous 6 years of training, volunteering, and preparing for his dream job of a firefighter, Josh was offered a career, full-time firefighter position at a department nearby! We are very very excited, and I am so proud of this guy. Congratulations Josho!

Kyle & Haley – Engagement Photos

Kyle and Haley were referred to me by a relative, and they are just an awesome couple! They are engaged to be married in July of 2010, and have been together for about 7 years. We took some early engagement shots so they could get Save the Dates out of the way, but we will have few more coming soon, so keep watch! These were taken a few different places: Chambers Bay Golf Course, the Anderson Island Ferry, and Saltar’s Beach in Steilacoom. They both grew up and met in Steilacoom, so we really wanted to get some good shots of the beach and the ferry. Enjoy!

This one is my favorite, hehe

Also one of my favs

Congratulations Kyle and Haley, can’t wait for your wedding next year!

On May 30th, Christiana and Brian tied the knot! 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!

First look

I believe his first words were “Wow, you’re hot!”

The ceremony was amazing

I love this shot. It’s such a touching moment when your dad gives you away to your new man.

And the kiss!

After the ceremony, we headed off to Ruston Way for some quick fun shots.

Then it was time to par-tay! They had delicious Italian food and this AMAZING cookie/candy table!

I think someone was happily married

Hello world!

Hello everyone! Well I re-did the blog again, yes I did. But I really like this new look and feel, and I hope you do too. Josh and I have had a busy busy year so far, and we have lots of pictures to share. I will be posting pictures of Christiana and Brian’s wedding, Hailey’s 1st birthday party, and many more very soon. Stay tuned!
