Engagement Portraits

Engagement shoots are (a fun) part of our process to get to know you better and to allow you time in front of the camera before your wedding day. See some of our favorites in our engagements portfolio.

Engagement portraits near Stevens Pass

April 1, 2013 Engagements

Anybody can aim a camera at two people and tell them to smile but it’s incredibly more rewarding to seek out their personalities and reveal their bond. I do this by learning what is interesting to them and discovering their story. Granted, it takes more time but it’s worth it and, in the case of [...]

Greenlake Seattle Engagements

February 15, 2013 Engagements

Another fun Greenlake portrait session, but this time we caught the very last bits of Fall color along with blue skies. We brought along some bubbles and sidewalk chalk for some make-shift hopscotch in the bike lane. No, the bikers were not too happy with that.

Karen & Alex

RoozenGaarde Tulip Fields and Ballard Engagements

January 15, 2013 Engagements

So much color! The flowers were blooming and I asked Karen and Alex what they thought about exploring the RoozenGaarde fields. To mix it up, we brought a picnic basket. The following week, we encorporated their neighboorhood of Ballard into the portraits starting with some guitar playing near the steps of the old Guitar Emporium [...]

Meredith & Levi Engagements

Adventure to Poulsbo and Ballard

January 8, 2013 Engagements

We got to talking about engagement portraits ideas during our very first meeting over coffee. Immediately, I knew the shoot would be fun based on their excitement over ideas of incorporating their elementary, their home town of Poulsbo, a roundtrip ferry ride, some fun at Kings Hardware in Ballard and a departure on their motorbike. [...]

Japanese Gardens and Washington Park Arboretum

January 7, 2013 Engagements

If you want to get some great Fall photos, you have to visit the Japanese Gardens near the Washington Park Arboretum in Seattle. This place has a central pond and pathways in the form of a figure eight. There are many private areas and the trees were full of color when I met up with [...]

Chad + David

Golden Gardens and Gasworks Park Engagements

November 29, 2012 Engagements

Photography in Ballard’s Golden Gardens? Yes, please. It also happened to be a place Chad and David frequent making it even more important. Once we had our fill at the beach, we headed south to the marina and ended at Gasworks park for vibrant Fall colors and a nice sunset.

Melissa + Tony

West Seattle, Alki and Gasworks Engagements

November 26, 2012 Engagements

My goal for engagement sessions are threefold: 1) to give my clients some time in front of the camera before their wedding day, 2) to represent who they are at this moment in time including their rituals, where they got engaged, pets and other “bookmarks” that describe their relationship and 3) it also gives me [...]

Emma & Eric

Chambers Bay Engagements

November 26, 2012 Engagements

I finally had a chance to head south through Tacoma to Chambers Bay on the waterfront. This place is great! Old stone pillars and structures left over from previous industry and a modern bridge over the train tracks to the beach. I arrived a bit early to our engagement session in order to become more [...]

Ashley + Tim Engagements

Mount Constitution on Orcas Island

August 26, 2012 Engagements

Tim proposed to Ashley here at the top of Mount Constitution on Orcas Island. We are all about their story so we revisited this location for engagement portraits which also gave me a chance to get away and see Orcas Island for the first time. What a view! On our way back down, we found [...]
