Justin & Nicole's Engagement Session

Well on a lovely and warm summer day Bryan photographed Nicole & Justin’s engagement session.  As you can see they had a lot of fun shooting and picked up a stray little dog while they sat on an abandoned chair for some cute pictures. However one of my absolute favorites is the one of them on the building on the staircase . .it is simply stunning!  I love the photo of Justin with the flowers behind his back with Nicole out of focus and yes once again they picked up another stray puppy . .ha. 

It was their idea to do a second part of the shoot with a theme.  So they had Justin’s old car “broken down” by the side of the road and dressed in 50’s style clothes.  I think the photo of Nicole by herself is gorgeous and I love the distance shot of Justin trying to work on the car as well as them on top of the car embracing – beautiful!  Enjoy and we will be blogging shortly some adorable Zoe pumpkin patch photos and many more weddings, engagements, etc!

Marianne & Sara's Engagement Session

Well on a beautiful summer day, Bryan set out to shoot Marianne and Sara's engagement session.  As you can see . .Bryan had great light, they had such chemistry and were a beautiful and sexy couple to photograph all afternoon long.   I love all the locations they hit, including the incredibly cool car they got some of my favorite shots of the whole day.  I LOVE the photo of them in the rear view mirror and how can you not love the ring shot they did at night at Pike Place Market? Hint hint . . .it's so much fun to schedule your engagement for some shots at night as it's such a different look and just so pretty.  Lastly the finished up in a funky party of Seattle and I think the Dirty Harry pinball machine shot is just so cool.  Enjoy!

Now back to editing and I cannot WAIT until our brand new Mac Pro and monitors get here next week . yay!

Emily & Steve's Engagement Session

Well on a beautiful summer day, Bryan shot Emily & Steve's engagement session.  The first weekend we had it scheduled, well was a weekend with rain, lightening and it just would not have been a good thing. And boy I am glad they waited.  Their photos are simply gorgeous and I love all the locations they hit.  It's hard for me to pick a favorite, but I do know that I LOVE all the photos of them with the space needle in the background, the one at the market is incredible and I am drawn to the photo of them looking out the window . . it's just takes you in and I can't stop looking at it . .ha.  We cannot wait to shoot their wedding next month at EMP where we will get to work with the wonderful planners Jesse & Travis of True Color Events.

Lastly the last three photos you may notice are all the same .. yes.  We wanted to show you that we work your photos a couple different ways and we always give our couples the option of picking the amount of black and white they want (you still get all your photos in color). Enjoy . .now on to more editing and a double wedding weekend . .whew.

Divina & Harlan's Engagement Session

Well I am so happy to share with you another awesome engagement session - Divina & Harlan.  As you can tell Harlan is one cool guy and Divina is his beautiful bride to be.  I love the variety Bryan got in the shoot . . from one of my very favorites of them lying on a floor . . to the cool bug rock concert wall and how can you not love the photo of Harlan solo smoking with the street art stencil of God's Favorite Beefcake . .ha. They also had a cute idea of using a magnetic save the date and they would insert their wedding date inside the photo frame.  We can't wait to shoot your wedding next year!

Alaina & Brandon's Engagement Session

So I know . . we just had to blog another awesome engagement session . .yes we have many weddings . .more engagements and more to blog - we are just too busy - plus we all got sick . .and well there just isn't enough time in the day. 

To move onto to talking about Alaina & Brandon . .well I think it's pretty obvious that these two are peas in a pod with Bryan and what they love to photograph with  .. the funkier, the better and they certainly got that for this shoot.  I love that they are up for anything . .hey look at the second photo below and the shots with the vacuum cleaner and you can totally get them.  And isn't their little dog just adorable that they brought to the shoot?  I think the photo towards the bottom of them kissing with the vintage car has to be my favorite, enjoy!  I hope everyone else is surviving this heat wave, I am ready for it to be over.

Brian & Hayley's San Diego Engagement Session

Well what a great way to start off our blog posts for July, but to share with everyone the awesome Engagement Session of Brian & Hayley that Bryan shot down in San Diego.  It was beautiful sunny weather her and when he got down there . .it was cloudy down there . .go figure.  But as you can see, Bryan was able to get such cool and awesome locations. Isn't the second photo down just too cool with the pool . . ?

As you can see they had lots of fun by going to a club the first night . .then out and about to shoot in several locations around San Diego . .both funky and cool, to weathered and old and classic pretty.  I LOVE the photo of them lying down on the colored tile . . how pretty is that.  And isn't Hayley's ring just too pretty. And of course how can you not love the very last photo with Hayley's foot and Brian's reflection in the rear view mirror? Bryan had such a great time, hope you love the photos!  Enjoy the slideshow!

Cheri & Cole's Engagement Session

Well as I said a few days ago . . Bryan has been shooting so many cool Engagement Sessions. The next up was Cheri & Cole's.  As you can see Bryan found a great mix of gorgeous and funky . .hey how can you not love the Dinosaur and Shark pics? However, I think my favorite has to be the one where Cheri is up in the window box with Cole sitting below her .. just gorgeous.

Enjoy and Cheri & Cole we can't wait to shoot your wedding in september!

Carly & Andy's Engagement Session

Jeff & Sarah's Engagement Session

On a dreary fall day, Bryan set out to photograph Jeff & Sarah's engagement session.  As you can see below, the weather actually held out for them several times and they got lucky . .you just never know in the Northwest in fall!  I love all the shots at the beach, but in particular I LOVE the close up of Jeff and Sarah looking forward with hair in her face, I just think it's so beautiful.  I think they hit such cool and funky places including the mechanic shop - XRay Auto where Sarah's takes her classic 60's Volvo to be worked on.

Towards the end of the day, Bryan had a lot of fun just hanging out with them and drinking a beer.  Jeff used to play the college drinking game Quarters.   If Jeff was an Alpha Phi Omega he'd be president - the man still has skills.  He got a Quarter in his beer in one bounce! And Bryan is very jealous that Jeff has such a cool job . . he is a liaison between the Xbox 360 for Microsoft and other software vendors.  While they were shooting, he got a call from Rockstar Games. Can't wait for your wedding in April . .until next time and back to editing the several weddings we have left to blog!

Anna & Tyson's Engagement Session

On a beautiful fall day last month, Bryan had a lot of fun photographing Anna & Tyson's engagement session.  Anna has to simply be one of the most alive people we've ever photographed and it shows in their photos.  I love all the colorful and awesome places Bryan found to shoot along with those classic Seattle locations.  Now onto the shots . .what are my favorites? Well before Anna got to the sprinkler move below, she did a "robot" in front of the robot wall . . too funny.  I love the edgy ring shot and her laugh afterwards.  The photo in front of the navy wall with the space needle drawing is gorgeous and I love the last series . .the one of them kissing in the distance is just so romantic.

Enjoy!
