Brenda, Matt, and I started out at one of my favorite locations to photograph, Gas Works Park and then headed over to Kerry Park. We weren’t sure if the weather was going to hold out but we pulled it off until right at the end when we finished. (phew!) We had fun walking around, and I enjoyed getting to know the both of these two more and hearing about their wedding plans. (which of course I love and can never get enough of!)
Here is a little bit about the couple:
Matt grew up in southern California and Brenda in Everett, WA. They met at church and became friends for a long time. About three years ago they were reunited through mutual friends, where they then fell in love. Matt has three wonderful kids, Noah 11, Hanna 10, and Ethan 8. And, Brenda is a service tech for DirecTV, while Matt works for Frito Lay. On the weekends they usually BBQ, as that is their favorite! And, they also love having friends and family over to their new house!
How Matt proposed…. They were heading down to Oregon to visit his family over the summer. One Thursday night Matt got off work around 9pm, he said let’s leave now and drive through the night (they were planning on leaving in the am) Brenda said okay. Once they were on the road Matt said we have a little detour on our way to Eugene. He had gotten a room in Cannon Beach for them to stay the night at. In the morning, they took a walk on the beach, where Matt turned Brenda around and said “this is why I brought you here” and showed her the ring and then asked her to be his wife, and of course Brenda said YES!
And a few of my favs:
