Engagement

I am happy to announce that one of my photographs was featured on the Wedding Blog Awards site as Photo of the Week! The image was of Josh and Jen from my earlier post in December titled Carousel Kisses. I thought this would be the perfect time to post a few more of my favorite images from their engagement session. We started out with a few photos at Pike Place Market and then headed out into the snow to shoot on the streets of Seattle as we made our way to a carousel. I would highly recommend signing up for an engagement session with your wedding photographer. It is the perfect opportunity to get to know each other better and to get any awkwardness out of the way. Your photos on your wedding day will be more natural since you will be much more comfortable in front of the camera the second time around! Plus you get a bunch of CUTE photos that you can use for your guest book, slide-show, save the dates, invites, center pieces, wine labels, and programs. Most importantly you are able to capture a special time in your lives, the very beginning stage of your marriage!
 

This is the featured photo on The Wedding Blog Awards( scroll down to see the post). Thanks to Jen and Josh for being up for a snowy adventure for their engagement session. I believe they ended up using this image for their first Christmas card together!

Seattle Snow! We met Jen and Josh yesterday afternoon for their engagement session. As Jon and I were standing by the pig (our meeting spot) at Pike Place Market, the much anticipated snow started to fall! The original plan was to shoot around Pike Place. But we had a change of plans…. Jen and I had both spotted the holiday carousel a couple blocks away and thought it would be a great place to get fun photos. The carousel was the perfect because we were able to stay somewhat dry while the wet flakes came down. One problem was some unexpected dizzy spells as we started moving. I was determined to get some sweet kissing shots so I grabbed onto a purple horse and just kept shooting!
