pleres

i had the pleasure of meeting a gal named pleres. she was an intern at my day job and she was spectacular. she reminded me of my best friend from HS. and she goes to the HS i went to! i can't believe how much they were alike. so funny.
i offered pleres probono photography for her senior portraits. pleres is an amazing person. i know she touched a lot of lives just like mine. i admire her simplicity and her abundant happiness, it made me smile. and if someone makes you smile, well, that is just perfect.
quite like pleres' photos. they turned out fabulous.

The happy couple

who would know two people you didn't know too well from high school would end up happily ever after? i didn't. :)
i went to high school with both justine and sean and didn't have the pleasure of getting to know them. but i did however have the pleasure of capturing their big beautiful day.
and beautiful it was.
at the mayflower park hotel in seattle was a gorgeous simple wedding. these two, you can really tell, are so in love. i very much enjoyed photographing their wedding, as well as being a part of it.
it was like a miniature high school reunion.
congrats you two!

Sophia

what a beautiful little girl. she brightened my day. she had such a simple heart while we were at the park. reminded me of how much we take for granted in life. why can't we just appreciate the small things?

heidi + phil preview

beautiful autumn wedding, for Heidi and Phil. clise mansion in redmond, WA.

Heidi got a letter from Phil a couple hours before the wedding... awe....

Her dress & shoes were amazing! so glamorous and beautiful. 

the groom was pretty dapper himself, too. :)

i really love how this photo turned out. 

and this is one of my favorites. candid, disheveled. i love it~!!

kelly + jordan

i had the pleasure of photographing kelly and jordan at the schilter farms in olympia, wa. kelly and jordan are huge sounders fans so they attempted the scavenger hunt within the corn maze as well.

awe. what a fabulous couple. i had a lot of fun photographing (and hanging out!!!!!) with them

big empty goal ;)

reward: CORM.
