Jason is moving away to college in a few weeks and Julia wanted to take some photos to send with him. I thought that was a fantastic idea so I obliged. We met up in Olympia at the state Capitol building. Its a LOT prettier then Raleigh’s capitol building. Plus everything is green and wonderful.
Hannah and Peter found me through very unusual circumstances, Twitter. Her best friend Rachelle sent out a tweet trying to find someone available for the weekend after Thanksgiving and I happily replied. They got married at a cute little spot in Lacey, Washington - The Jacob Smith House. Its a cute little spot and is apparently one of the oldest buildings in all of Thurston County. It was the perfect setting for their wedding. Hannah really loves Peter. So much in fact that shes going to have his baby in April. So as you’re looking at these photos make sure you think “dang! that girl looks good!” Because she does. She is rocking that wedding dress. Hannah is a hottie. Peter likes beer and lasagne. He brewed three different types of beer for the wedding AND rootbeer. I think I drank more of that rootbeer than the kids did. It was scrummy. Peter sent me home with a bottle of his “I Do Brew” and my husband said it was quite scrummy as well. . When I first met with the lovebirds they were afraid of the rain. To be honest I was too and still am, definitely something I am going to have to get used to living in Washington. All the same, it was awesome out. Well, the sun wasnt out but there wasnt any rain and I liked the overcast skies. It was a bit chilly though.
Isnt her dress the bomb?
Also, as she was putting on her shoes she said “who says you cant find wedding shoes at Costco?” It made me laugh. Cute and comfy.
Peter gave her Dolce & Gabana’s Light Blue perfume. Her favorite Seattle Storm player wears it. I just love all the faces she made in only a minute.
love the kiddos looking in on them..
Her mom made all the cupcakes!
The alteration bill was almost as much as the dress… so she got cheap heels. 
You two rock. Keep on loving eachother and Ill see you in a few months for more photos!

I have been looking forward to last Thursday for a very long time. She is just such a wonderful person. One of those people you really want to be around. I got to spend ALL day long with her and we had an awesome time. We met up in Greensboro to do her boudoir session and her bridals followed afterward in a local park. I love how Ali was totally up for anything from the classic to the quirky.
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. :)
…they ate some Beechers mac&cheese. It looked awesome.. one day Ill have to try it.
they like this pose ;)
GELATO!
choices.. choices..
You two are awesome. I cant wait to see the photos from your wedding! See you in a few months!
