Today’s post is a trip down memory lane to one of my all-time-favorite weddings from a few years ago. It also happens to be the couple’s anniversary, so I thought it was the perfect time to post a few of my favorite images from this lovely wedding! The bride created a dreamy vision of lace, crochet, baby’s breath, […]

After their scenic portrait session at Lake Crescent, Rebecca and Chris traveled back to a private family property in Sequim for their charming backyard ceremony and reception. The word “backyard” doesn’t quite do the setting justice! Not many backyards feature a grove of huge arching maple trees and a stunning view of the Olympic Mountains, […]

Although the seasons were just changing and the day dawned with a breath of autumn fog, Kourtney & Brian’s wedding day was bright and green with summer’s joy. Kourtney and Brian were married in a family friend’s backyard against a backdrop of soaring Pacific Northwest firs. Their rustic, down-to-earth wedding day featured a gorgeous antique […]

Over the past few months, I’ve racked up quite a few miles in the car getting to and from some incredible destinations during wedding season in the Pacific Northwest. Something that makes it infinitely more bearable—even enjoyable!—has been an audiobook app called Overdrive that I was introduced earlier this year. My life as a busy mom […]

Ice cubes rattled in my coffee as my car navigated turn after turn, climbing ever upward on the winding park road towards Hurricane Ridge in Olympic National Park.

Back in the olden days of 2008, we didn’t have Pinterest or Instagram, and bridal magazines were either to generic or to unattainable to offer realistic inspiration. Sometimes I ask myself if I was better off […]

I can hardly believe it happened—the little boy I grew up with is a grown-up married man, with a gorgeous lady he can call his wife. Wife! I know he wakes up and looks at her every morning with stars in his eyes. This kid is a hopeless romantic, ya’ll, and Angela is set to […]

You might guess that I like weddings—and you’d be right. I love weddings. I love being there to see two people commit their lives to each other in front of their community of family and friends & celebrating with the people who mean the most in their lives. That being said, there are a few things that occasionally […]

This past year has brought immeasurable changes to my life. Some were welcome, some expected, some blew me out of the water. There’s no way to quickly summarize what happens when you become a mother. I feel the same, and yet completely different, but distilled, and somehow more than I was before. The unnecessary parts are […]

There are some places and adventures that leave a lingering feeling in your chest, a breathless awe that takes you out of your normalcy and for an instant, reminds you of the scale of the word and your place in it. These images take me right back there, to an open boat speeding across dark […]
