Wait..could it be?! I’m FINALLY caught up with blogging?? Oh man, I’ll need to celebrate tonight! What a 2011 I’ve had and I’m saving one of my favorite weddings for last. Marin and I were classmates at Central Catholic High School and have remained friends since. I was SO excited when she contacted me about wedding photography! I had never photographed at Postlewait’s Farms before and I was super pumped to get some great shots. I just love laid-back, casual country weddings! Add the fact that we had a gorgeous fall here in the NW and you get pictures like these! Such a fun day! Thanks so much Marin and Jeremiah, you guys are made for each other! Wish you many years of happiness! xoxo

Super late posting my last 3 weddings of the year! Ugh feel terrible. Had a crazy busy last min holiday rush…so now it’s time for catch-up! Absolutely LOVED this wedding…not only is the bride one of my closest friends, they had just the perfect day! The lighting was to die for! I was one happy photog

THANK YOU Nicole and Travis! Love you guys!

Finally getting these pictures posted for Krista and John! Took me a while to sort through all 6,000 pictures! I had 2 second shooters for this wedding since I was nearing the end of the horrible first trimester pregnancy grossness. I wanted to make sure this wedding was well captured! I had a blast with them during their engagement session. I just knew that was going to be one for my portfolio!

Krista was such a stunning bride, you can just see the admiration John has for her in his eyes. Such a gorgeous couple! Thanks you guys for allowing me to be a part of your big day! Wish you years of happiness and love in the future!

These 2 are very near and dear to my heart. I’ve known Kevin since we were classmates in middle school and have gotten to know Jenn throughout the…what was it, Jenn, 7+ years?! I now consider both of them some of my closest friends. It was my pleasure to photograph their big day back on August 20th at a private residence on Sauvie Island. It was a BRIGHT sunshiny day, but we found some shade to photograph in and we got some great shots. I just love you two! Thank you so much for allowing me to be a part of your day! xoxo

P.S. Congrats on outlasting Kim K.!

This was my first Olympia wedding and boy was it a beautiful one! I had been looking forward to photographing Van and Steven’s big day ever since hearing about all the details during our engagement session in April. We started with a traditional tea ceremony, went right into a Catholic church wedding ceremony, then had a blast walking around the Washington State Capitol for portraits. I had never had that much time for portraits before and it was amazing! We got to take advantage of all the beautiful spots around the capitol buildings. I am going to stress an hour for portraits with all my future clients! So worth it.

Anyway, after we were finished downtown, the bridal party hopped in a limo and we headed to the Thurston County Community Center for the reception. It was built on the edge of a lake and absolutely beautiful at sunset! Patrick and I had so much fun with these guys, thanks Van and Steven so much for the honor of being your wedding photographers! I know you have many many years of happiness ahead of you. Congratulations!!

This WAY overdue post was my 4th of July wedding this year! Stephanie and I went to high school together (though, she was only a freshman when I was a senior), but her brother and I are good friends and have kept in touch over the years. I was so excited when she asked me to be her wedding photographer! So fun when I know the family and some of the bridal party! Thanks Stephanie and Paul for allowing me to be a part of your big day. It was great getting to know you guys better and meet your little man! You have a beautiful family
