Allison + Brent – Seattle Engagement Photographer

Monday, July 27th, 2009

Okay, it’s 11:00 pm and the thermostat says 87 degrees in our house so I am obviously not sleeping.  No better time to write a quick blog I’m excited about.

Allison and Brent have a fun background story about meeting at a Seahawks game at Qwest Field so we spent some time down by the stadium with them in Hawks gear.  They also brought a long their pups which was fun.  Meg and I had a blast and are very excited for your big day.

Enjoy this peak into your photos!

George + Amanda – A Seattle Wedding!

Tuesday, July 14th, 2009

Meg and I have lot’s of photos from this wedding that we want to show you so I’ll keep the words to a minimum:).  We had an absolute blast with not only Amanda and George but their family and friends from near and very far.  It seemed that half the guests were from New Zealand and even many of those from the states came across the country to be here on a beautiful Seattle afternoon.    Congratulations to you both and enjoy your little sneak peak here:).

I absolutely loved this bouquet by Florarama.

Doesn’t Amanda look amazing?

This scene needs some context.  Amanda was giving her grandmother a call that couldn’t make it to the wedding.  The pearl necklace she’s wearing is actually from her grandmother.

This is the bench where Amanda said “Yes” only a few short month’s ago!

I can’t tell if these smiling clouds are creepy or cool:).

Alana + Mark – Marine Park Engagement

Thursday, July 9th, 2009

Ok, I’m not even sure where to start on how cool this couple is!  Maybe it is best portrayed in their amazing dogs – one of which is an Australian Shepherd Ridgeback -aka our future dog of choice!  Or maybe it is in Alana being the only girl on an all guys hockey team here in town!  Mark and Alana play on the same team, as well as run the local camps.  She is seriously one of the coolest, most bad-a brides ever!  Mark – you’re pretty cool, too!  They are getting married at the beautiful Lairmont Manor next month – and no doubt it is going to be gorgeous.

Alana and Mark – we are honored to be a part of your big day!  Enjoy!

Are you kidding me with those green eyes?!?!  Alana – you are gorgeous!

We knew we wanted to shoot Kelli and Beau’s wedding as soon as we saw Kelli’s email address – KelDogg@!  She is our kind of people:).  We had an absolute blast hanging out in downtown Bellingham for their session.  The evening and scenario made for a photographers playground and add this couple and you have the perfect combo!  We can’t wait for your big day next month at Hotel Bellwether!  Enjoy!

I saw Meg take this shot but I still don’t know how to give it context, I love it!

cline_bellingham_images_0009

I shot this at the same time, not nearly as abstract and cool as Meg’s but nice.
