I loved working with Kayla and Joe. Both said they didn’t like being in front of the camera, but with Kayla’s own photography experience and natural adorableness, neither one of them had any issues being crazy cute together. Joe’s family owns a cute little cafe in Neillsville and a blueberry farm, and believe me when I say, I was perfectly happy having both as settings for photos.

I'm totally going to tease Nate and Sonja by posting some of my favorite photos from their engagement session last fall.  It only seems right to post them before the wedding photos!  As most of you know, they got married Memorial Day weekend and I had the honor of being their wedding photographer as well.  The wedding photos are coming so, so, so soon guys, I promise! 

I love the story of how I met these two amazing people!  If you remember a few months back, I had taken a trip to the Oregon coast for a little weekend vacation.  The group of people I was with decided to go watch the sunset down on the beach and  not long after sitting there, we spotted way down the beach, a guy get down on one knee and propose!  Of course I had my camera with me, and it was decided very quickly that I need to run down the beach to document such a special moment for them.  Let me tell you, running a good distance in soft sand is much harder than it looks.  I got about half way and decided they would still be just as happy when I got to them if I walked the rest of the way. :)  Their dog met me half way though and he of course had no problem running.  So I walked up to them, completely out of breath, but they were happy to let me take a few photos, and we exchanged contact info.  I'm so happy they ended up asking me to take their engagement photos and we had such a fun afternoon wandering around on the Washington Arboretum waterfront trail.  I've been wanting so badly to take photos there and so excited they were down to check it out.  Thanks you guys for such a good time and I wish you all the happiness in the world!

My dear friend, Kate, got engaged! I couldn't be more excited for her! She is the sweetest person and deserves all the happiness in the world!  Kate and Jason clearly adore each other and they are so cute together.  We spent a morning at Green Lake and the water + morning light was exactly what I hoped it would be.  If it wasn't for a stupid crow knocking over my chai latte within the first 10 minutes, everything would have been perfect!  Jason was so kind to cook breakfast afterwards and teach me some fantasy football strategy. :) I look forward to getting to know him even better and to see these two build a life together!  Biggest of congratulations to you guys!
