The SKY is the limit for these two Lovebirds!

I’m very excited to share these photos with you…The photo shoot I had with this darling couple was packed with my favorite lighting…Natural light… We walked around the waterfront, and ended at GasWorks Park! It was full of tons of people, smiles, lots of laughs, and I had a lot of fun getting to know more about this cute couple.

Shaina and Tony met in Fort Lewis, and have been together for almost three years. One of those years they spent apart while Tony was in Iraq, but they tried to talk as often as they could. He bought a promise ring while he was in Iraq, and Shaina promised to marry him someday, even though she told him it probably wouldnt be until she was done with school. When he got back from Iraq they went to Ocean Shores with her brother’s family for clam digging. That morning he went to get breakfast for the both of them and when Shaina woke up the ring was sitting with her food, and he asked her to marry him and of course she said Y-E-S!!

The Lovebirds just recently purchased their 1st home together! Shaina is going to school to be a nurse, and Tony is in the Army until next August. He then plans on going back into the construction field, with the hopes of owning his own business someday.

Edward and Karen’s WEDDING!

It was all about the “RED, and WHITE,” on this special day as this couple “TIED THE KNOT”. No “PURPLE and GOLD” in sight on the campus of The University of Washington Club on this day. Every girl dreams about their big “WEDDING DAY” but this bride really had her dreams come true. Not only was Karen saying “I DO” to her prince charming, she got to wear two WEDDING DRESSES! One beautiful white dress, and then for the reception she changed into a traditional chinese dress. Talk about amazing…I enjoyed every minute of this day, with this special couple EDWARD and KAREN.

These two love birds are beyond amazing, I have had so much fun helping plan out the details with these two. There was no stress, no worrying, so laid back, and everything was just perfect. I love working with brides up until their big day but these two as you can see from their smiles are just as warm outside, as they are inside. Just so thoughtful, so caring, and have the cutest laughs that is just so contagious to everyone around them.

I am so grateful to you both for allowing me to share your amazing day with you, and am thankful to have have met you both, gotten to know you, enjoyed every minute at your house for dinner; when we were only two weeks away from your big day. (Let me tell you what an amazing cook Karen is) and to have you both as special friends. Thank You!

MUCH LOVE, & CONGRATS!

A SWEET LITTLE BUN IS IN THE OVEN! 

A sweet dear friend of mine just had a sweet little baby boy!!! Right before this little sweet guy came into this world I had a fun evening with Sarah and Derek walking around the park. Derek was swinging on trees (4 real), swinging on swings, and riding down the slides….of course there was lots of laughing. We had lots of F-U-N!

Derek and Sarah, have been married for three years now, and I so remember this day like it was yesterday. (Big smile!) Derek is a project manager for Bank of America, while Sarah is a hairdresser at www.salontewl.com and let me tell you…this is the girl to go too! She is the BEST! (cutting, coloring, and up-do’s. You name it!) Go see her.
