.ELISE & JUSTIN - MAY 18.

See, I am totally behind on my posting. This gorgeous couple were married back in May!!!! =) Anyway, it was May 18th, the hottest day in May. It was over 100degrees and roasting but it really wasn't that bad. It was a really sweet ceremony with lots of emotion and giggling. Here are some of my favs from the day.






After their first sight -







Justin wiping off the lip gloss - I like to force people to kiss on their wedding day.

Update

I am SO behind on blogging, sorry. I have so many great engagement, family, maternity shoots and a few weddings to share that I'm excited about. I'm also super, super excited to launch my new website & blog. My goal is by July 1st and think that will definitely happen. =) I am still going to leave my current website active for awhile because I will have a new domain with only pictures from 2007 & currently in 2008. I still love my current site and the images on it and I really cant part with it. My new site will have super huge pictures and showcase more of the fun & intimate side of my imagery. Still simple, nothing flashy but I think you'll like it. =)

Funny

More to come

Are you kidding me? That sun flare is the shiznit. =)
I have so many shoots and weddings to share - they are coming. I just had to share this image that I got on Sunday. I'll explain the shoot, who the uber cool couple is and post a bazillion more of their images. This shoot was all for me and my creative juices!

JANI+CODY.ENGAGED

Spending the morning in Pullman with these two cuties couldn't have been any better! They decided that they wanted me to travel to shoot the engagement session and I was very excited to do so. I'm married to a Coug, my sisters are Cougs - some of my favorite people in my life are Cougs. Pullman brings back memories of driving in my super fast Integra, for what seemed like 10 hours, back and forth from Seattle to see Matt on my days off. Ah to be young and 21 again...anyway, Matt and the kids made the trip with me and he took them all over campus while I spent 3 WHOLE HOURS with Jani & Cody. I was beat, they were beat, but it was so much fun and totally worth it! Jani & Cody can be lovey/romantic & goofy in a split second. They had some very specific and memorable places that they wanted to go so that helped because I was going crazy with ideas. I want to keep this post short because I could go on and on...
They are getting married this September at Stone Ridge Event Center.

We started off at the Bookie






I thought these flowers were so pretty. Nerd alert!






Jani's sister was with us tending to hair/make-up needs. =)








SAAAAAAAAAAAAsy!









On top of the Library making them do ridiculous things to make me laugh =) I absolutely love this one









We got into the stadium for some fun. The fun pics I will keep private for Jani & Cody...I dont want to make any of the WWF wrestlers jealous of their moves...














Coolest thing ever!



Had to revisit the actual parking spot where their first kiss was - now they're getting married. =)



Jani and Cody thank you so much for opening up to me so much and letting me see so much of where the "Jani & Cody" came from. I am so excited to be apart of your wedding memories. I had so much fun.

Preview

I am editing the wedding of the super cute Elise & Justin and I had to share this image. Justin's vows were a TOTAL tear jerker, and here is Elise grabbing a tissue. I thought this candid moment was so sweet. More to come from their wedding that was held at the fabulous Stone Ridge Event Center on May 19th.

VISA+SERIGN.ENGAGED

Visa & Serign are gettin' hitched on the 4th of July at Stone Ridge. How cool is that to have the huge TRAC firework show be going on right behind us. I am SO excited!!! What an even MORE memorable evening. I was stoked to shoot back home again, I'll take it any day...even the typical overcast day we had. They were a total blast to hang out with and every single image brings back a memory for me. Shooting in the midst of the public can be nerve racking for the couple & challenging for the photographer - but we made the best of it and got some really fun photos. Riding pigs was even involved. =) Thanks for the really fun time you guys!

We started off at Kerry Park. We could look down Queen Anne and see their apartment building.






We just happened to stumble upon this little park on the walk to the car



Comfy in their Coug gear now.



There is a funny story behind this. I dont remember if I asked them to get on the pig or not, but after Serign got off Visa got back on and wanted it all to herself. Just me on the pig!! Just me!! she was shouting. I almost peed my pants! Had to be there...=)







Check out the bling!
