Evelyn & Jason – Olympia Engagement Session

Sit back and relax people… this is a picture heavy post!

So on Saturday night I went out with Evelyn and Jason for their engagement session. They won a free session with me at the Nordstrom Bridal Show back in February, but we had to wait awhile… since neither of them live around here!! Evelyn is in the Veterinary Medicine program at Washington State University (I almost had to hold that against her… with me being a UW grad and all… but when I met her, I couldn’t! She is just too sweet!) and Jason is a Doctoral student of Physics at UC Santa Barbara.

The second I met them I felt like I’d known them forever and we were old chums. They are so open, loving, funny and kind. Not to mention they have so much personality!! I loved it!! Jason was a wonderful muse and loved hamming it up for the camera.

And Evelyn… well, she is a photographers dream! Drop dead gorgeous with a beautiful and warm smile.

These two have been together now for 8 years; met when Evelyn showed up at school one day at 16 years old. Been together ever since. Such a wonderful story they share!

They are getting married next June at Lakewold Gardens in Lakewood, WA.

Evelyn & Jason – Thank you for such a wonderful outing on Saturday. Your openness and love is apparent in everything you do! I hope to work with you guys again soon!

They really do love each other!! I just loved their interactions and playfulness with one another!

Glasses? No glasses? I say either/or. Jason looks great either way!

Tina & Brian

So I mentioned that I had two engagement sessions on Saturday. After meeting up with Heidi and Matt, I went off to meet up with Tina & Brian. Tina is this totally outgoing, vivacious and beautiful woman and Brian is this laid back, funny, quiet kind of guy. They compliment each other better than I’ve seen in such a long time! And they are so into one another…. I just LOVE watching love blossom… which could be one of the reasons I love my job so much. These two just match each other so perfectly!!

Here is a just a sneak peak at some of their awesome-ness!

I don’t usually give my opinion on photos… but this one is my favorite… I just LOVE it!!

One Little Preview

I had two engagement sessions yesterday! Here is just a little taste of the first one….
Heidi and Matt – Two absolutely fun people! There was more laughing than pictures yesterday!

Eric & Rachel

Yesterday I went out with Eric and Rachel for their engagement session. It’s not hard to make two beautiful people… well beautiful… so my job was pretty easy. Keep them laughing and happy and then just snap away. These two have such a great chemistry together; they are just fun. Playful, beautiful and totally in love. What more do you need in a session?

Oh, and I forgot to mention the photography gods were with us yesterday! It’s been as nasty as spring can get this past week with snow, hail, tons of rain and not much relief. The small break we had just happened to be the time we were out shooting our session. It started raining again on the way home!

The Beautiful Bride Rachel

The Handsome Groom Eric

Did I mention they like to laugh?

Well they did… and then they laughed some more!

Eric & Rachel: I had so much fun with you guys yesterday. Thank you for being such troopers and soldering on in the cold and wind. I really cannot wait until your wedding on April 26th!

Katie & Tyler

Can I talk about my flare for a moment? I’m obsessed with the sun flare. I love it. I love everything about it. Even more… I love going out with fun, interesting and vivacious couples who let me play with the flare!!

On Saturday morning I got to go out with Katie and Tyler for an engagement session. This young couple met in high school and have remained high school sweethearts since and are getting married in June. They are such a fun couple and so down to earth. We had a great time exploring some of the nooks and crannies of St. Martin’s University campus.

Katie & Tyler: Thank you so much for the opportunity to go out with you on Saturday. Please keep me in mind for the future!

Yummy back lighting with some nice flare action going on. Aren’t they just adorable?!

Look at how happy these two are together!!

Chelsi & Brandon

Today I went out with Chelsi and Brandon for their engagement session! We started at the state capitol (a favorite of mine as of recent) and took a walk around the grounds. It was a GORGEOUS morning with some slightly diffused sunlight streaming through the clouds and bright blue sky. They are the sweetest young couple; high school sweethearts who are getting married on August 16th.

Here are a few teasers.

Chelsi & Brandon: I had a really nice time with the two of you. I hope you had as good of a time as I did!

Ah… the sweet couple with their dog, Jack.

WOW! Look at those gorgeous eyes!!
