Andrew and Melody are both from Pine Level, North Carolina! They have known each other since the 4th grade. They grew up playing at this park so it seemed only fitting that their engagement session be there. engagement session in a parkengaged couple at a park

Paul and Rebecca are lindy hoppers.

I love lindy hoppers.


I met Rebecca when she lived here in North Carolina. She moved to Seattle a little while after she and Paul started dating and she has been deeply missed in the dance community on the East coast. She announced her engagement and I was pretty excited when she inquired with me about her wedding photography. Unfortunately I wont be living in the area (yet) during her wedding which just happens to be THIS Saturday! Whoops! They have changed their date since they inquired. Its now October 15th! Yay!!!!!!

However, I happened to have a free day last week when we were in the Tacoma area house hunting. So we got together and took some engagement photos. They live like 10 minutes from Pikes Place Market (I am so jealous!) and wanted to do photos there. I dont think any of us thought about it being a holiday weekend and the market was crazy packed. I dont think it helped that Bumpershoot was going on at Seattle Center either. We still had some fun though. :)Pikes Place couple

Sarah and Todd are getting married in June here in NC. They might look a little familiar as this was their second engagement session with me. Their first was in an antique store. It was a pretty awesome session. But, they also wanted something outside too so we met up here in Smithfield and had some fun. It rained a LOT the day before so it was a little muddy but we did what we could. It was an absolute gorgeous day.20110410-DSC_063620110410-DSC_067920110410-DSC_0713
