There is so much life in this set of images. They just scream LOVE :)
I love these photos. So happy for these two!
I love everything that is happening here.
These are so lovely. What I like is the way that you have captured the fun and playful side of Meghan and Jonathan. They're funny, but not in a slapstick kind of way. They're both cheerful, positive and playful people - which comes out in these pics. That's special.
Great set of images, nicely done! And 'Band of Horses' instant win on that one - great band!
O wow..... the colors.... o the colors...!! These are amazing Sarah - what an incredible friend they have :)
all of these made me take a 2nd look. the .5 seconds we usually spend on images was extended today for me.......... these are so intriguing and lovely.
P.S Love the Prowler in that first shot, I had one just like it!
absolutely stunning! every single frame is so perfect and tells a wonderful story. Congrats to your dear friends!
I love these so much I had to leave a comment! very inspirational.
AH! Sarah! I love these. Every picture gets better and better. Your work makes me happy and leaves me feeling refreshed. Simply amazing.
love this sarah. love BOH too :) can totally hear their song 'the funeral' as the soundtrk to this series :)
i love these! beautiful job as always. :)
I'm pretty sure I could never be as cool as they look in this shoot. It actually reminds me of 500 Days of Summer... minus the breaking up part of course. =]
Wow! You guys these are gorgeous! Your relationship with these two really comes out in the comfortable feel of these images. And the light in the grass... it's the kind I dream of!
My heart melts with every new photo shoot you post. You've captured the beauty in their love and the uniqueness in all of these locations. Thank you for making me smile and realize what a beautiful world we are surrounded by.
i dream of the ferry rides often. these images made me nostalgic. seattle is going to be a destination for the Lanning's very soon...again.
GOOD friends are hard to come by. so glad you are able to cherish them so. :)
these photos are out of control! i seriously could not be more thrilled about them i love that you guys show us how i see us. you capture that warm and fuzzy feeling in a photo, unbelievable! thank you thank you thank you!
You have such a beautiful and unique style! I just love your work, and this is an amazing shoot.
Sarah, these are so great! Such good outfits too!
haha. I absolutely love the one with the popped balloon.
these are just...i dunno...there isn't a word for the awesomeness of them... :)
wow! seriously stunning.
beautiful session and so innovative.
Lovely session. I love the tight BW with her hair sweeping around her - just a very beautiful photo. I love how soft and warm all of these photos feel - great work!
your connection with these two is so evident here. just my opinion -- but this is your best work. when a set of photos moves me, as an outsider, to tears -- it's powerful. beautiful!!

this is too much. too much. you're my favourite. ever.
Sarah!!! you guys NAILED this one. Makes me miss seattle and the ferries. amazing.
Oh wow, oh wow, oh wow. I am so very much in love with this series. I'm particularly crazy about the ferry shots - I know how windy that can be!
this is, hands down, without a doubt, no comparison, the most wonderful engagement session i've ever seen. cheers my friends.
Gorgeous work and I love your description of your friendship. You said it perfectly!
Love these images!!! Meghan totally has this Katie Holmes/Maggie Gyllenhaal thing going... just beautiful!
Sarah, what beautiful words. you'll just keep receiving those wonderful gifts from your grandmother. they will never end. much love, my dear.
I'm so sorry to hear about your grandma :( .. But at least now she is in a better place. This photo is such a beautiful one :) As usual. You are so talented. Keep up the fantastic work.
So sorry to hear about your grandma Sarah! I am very close to my Grandma, who is 91, and I just know how hard that road will be in saying goodbye.
Thanks for the reminder to call her and tell her I love her TODAY!
I am glad to hear that it went well and that you are feeling a bit better. I am sure your grandma would love that you spoke for her! Hug your family and spend that quality time with them because everything will be here when you return and there is no need to rush back. love you

Sarah, I am so sorry you are going through this right now. I am certain Mama Syl was smiling down on you as you stood up there and spoke and was thinking "that's my brave strong girl"!
What a beautiful and honoring thing you did for your grandma. I'm praying for healing for you and your family.
God truly did give you a gift. As I am sure you were a gift for your grandma.
My heart feels so greatly for you Sarah. Two months ago my grandmother unexpectedly passed in her sleep one night. Fortunately I had been home for the summer and was able to spend some time with her, without knowing she was going to pass soon. It's still so difficult to believe she's gone and that going back home will never feel completely the same, but a little empty. I dream about her at night, reflect on photos of her, still haven't been able to listen to her piano recordings yet though, and know that she is still rooting for me. I'm trying to figure out what the best way is to keep the memory and joy alive of those who have moved on. May you and your family feel love and peace.
Sarah - I am so sorry for your loss but take great comfort in knowing that she is in a better place. Just last year I lost my grandma so your post really resonated with me. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family during this time. Thank you for this post and reminding us how precious and beautiful life is.
Sarah, thinking of you and your family today.... thanks for sharing your grandma's story. What a brave fight she put up, and what a wonderful tribute to her. {hugs}
Oh Sarah, I'm so sorry to hear of your loss. A little over a year ago I too got a phone call. My nana who'd been living with alzheimers for years had been transferred to hospice care.
I rushed to be by her side and spent those last 72 hours clenching her hand, singing to her, and recalling just how dear she was to me. It was a very difficult time, but those moments are some of the most precious of my life. I'll always be grateful that I got the chance to tell her how much I loved and admired her. I'm so thankful that you got the chance too to be with your grandma; it really is a blessing.
My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. Much Love and Many Hugs!
Our thoughts are with you guys...MamaSyl would be proud of you. About 8 years ago I had the opportunity to speak at my uncle's funeral. He was a father to me, and as much as public speaking terrifies me, something outside of myself forced me to my feet and to the front of the room. I was one of very few who spoke that day, but I am so grateful I took the opportunity. He deserved every word. I'm sure your grandmother did too...
Keep on smiling Sarah, and continue to spread the love to everyone you're surrounded by! :)
I'm so glad you got to spend some time with your grandma. My great-grandma passed away 3 years ago and I wish I'd be able to go to her. I hope you find more in the coming days to make you smile.
I pray that God comforts you and your family during this difficult time. I really believe it was a gift to be able to open your heart to your grandmother before she went to heaven.
God bless
My wish to you is that God comforts the pain and increases the joy of knowing that your grandmother is finally at rest and free. My deepest condolences.
all my best to you sarah, I lost my papa a couple of years ago and when I find my eyes welling up with tears from missing him I smile when I think of all the fond memories I have of him. But that is what it's all about FOND MEMORIES!! Thanks for all your great inspiration.
Ahhhh....so lovely and magical!
There are no words!! We are so blown away by these photos and we were so happy to have two friends like you and Chris with us on our wedding day. Thank you for capturing the magic and glow of our wedding.

These last two engagement sessions are insane! Absolutely incredible work. I love your color correcting and processing. Subtle but definite. Awesome stuff.
