Galen & Jeff are like eating a yummy perfectly sweet biscotti on a Sunday morning. They are delightfully charming together and they make you feel all warm and fuzzy inside just by being around them. These two have been together for years (I think it's maybe been 8 years together if my memory isn't failing me) so they are pushing a decade with one another, and they are still madly in love. I'm sure it's pretty safe to say their love withstands the great test of time.

One of my favorite things about their story is that Jeff proposed to Galen on top of a mountain in Switzerland! I mean talk about pulling out all the stops. That is just the type of guy Jeff is. I don't know too many girls who have a proposal quite like that.

These two came in from the east coast for their session in Seattle. We had a beautifully sunny morning and headed to Volunteer park in Capitol hill. Meeting them in person just felt like hanging out with two friends I have known for forever. We're so stoked for their wedding this summer, I know it is going to be a blast. 

Happy Wednesday and enjoy some Galen & Jeff Goodness!

Kara & Jeremy hail from the great state of Oklahoma! It was fun to spend the day with some people from our old stomping grounds! These two are such an incredible duo! Kara is some kind of super human and somehow manages to do it all. Literally, anything this girl puts her mind to she accomplishes. She has drive, motivation and she is one of those rare people that you just know will surprise everyone with the many beautiful things she achieves in this life. Jeremy is her great companion, he is Kara's goose. He grounds her, keeps her on the right path and pushes her towards being all that she can be. Jeremy is also a very talented filmmaker, These two fill in each others gaps so well and will be a force to be reckoned with one day.

I have no doubt these two will take their photography/filmmaking wherever they want it to go. They are first and foremost parents who love their kids with all their hearts. Kara is a business woman and the two of them came to us to get some direction on how to get the kind of photos they see in their minds to translate to paper :). What we love about our mentor sessions is working with people on focused objectives catered to what their goals are for their craft. We had so much fun with these two and here are just a few frames from their short mini session with us!

Happy Monday folks! I hope everyone had a great weekend! This was one of our last weekends off... after this we kick into busy season- so we had a grand old time doing a few house projects, watching the Oscars, and hanging with friends. Somehow I even got talked into singing at Karaoke night on Saturday thanks to a super fun instigator girlfriend ;) (you know how you are).  Next Monday at this time we will be on the Big Island of Hawaii celebrating & shooting Julie & Andy's wedding! So excited to see The Big Island since it is one of the few islands in Hawaii that we have yet to go to, so if you have any recommendations of things to do, see or eat please send those our way!

Meet the fantastic, Lauren & Bryan! These two are so darling. Lauren is that thoughtful caring type who listens well and speaks from her heart. Bryan is charmingly fun-loving and doesn't take life too seriously. They are just as sweet as can be. These two love to see the world together and are traveling all the time. It seems like every other weekend they are some place different... they are adventurers through and through. I think these two are set to have a pretty amazing life with one another and we are so thrilled to capture their wedding this summer in one of the cutest little towns in America, Port Townsend, WA :) Enjoy a little bit of Lauren & Bryan!

Meet our beautiful friends Tess & Tyler. These two are some of our favorite people on the planet. Tyler is like a kid brother to me and Tess feels like a brunette younger version of myself ;) These two have a very special place in our hearts so to be able to capture them and celebrate all the love they have for one another was up there with eating a nice warm blueberry pie with some vanilla bean ice cream on top. Tess & Tyler radiate joy, life, fullness and love. We adore them.

We started off shooting in these guys new place that will be their first home together. It's a charming little apartment in Queen Anne that just screams them. Then we headed into Ballard where we all spend a lot of time. What I love about these images is how much they feel like Tyler & Tess. It is a "day in the life" of sorts, and I love that. 

We are hitting the ground running after being back from WPPI in Vegas. I'm hoping to put together a re-cap post at some point, but it was by far our favorite WPPI experience. Thank you to each of you who stopped us in the halls to introduce yourselves & thank you to each of you who came out to hear us speak! It meant the world to us. Happy Friday!

Carl Reid says: Sunday, February 27, 2011, 12:25 AM

Loving the pictures. But I'm curious how did this WPPI outweigh the others? Was it the speakers, equipment, or meeting new people at the after parties?

Regards,
Carl from T.O.
