Impossible Project Film, I love you so.

Amanda & Alper met on the bus after riding the same route to school, and years later he dropped down on one knee in the middle of a buzzing summer Pike Place intersection to ask her to be his wife. In natural Seattle Spring fashion the only day we could meet up for the “You Two” session we got caught in a down pour, but that didn’t phase them – I love couples who are game despite the weather. Thanks for taking me on a small walk down memory lane!

It’s no big secret that I fill my life with music. And when I find music that fills my heart with inspiration it’s nearly impossible for me to keep quiet about it. Cue Lord Huron, who I had the pleasure of seeing in October both at Barboza and at KEXP when I photographed their wonderful in-studio session. During my travels to Bolivia, Thailand, and Myanmar these melodies were in my arsenal, and they also stay close at home in Seattle. A girl can only hope she’ll be a catalyst to love songs like these one day.

Lord Huron played a sold out show at Neumos to a sing-a-long swaying crowd and I took my post as in-house photographer mixed with fan. If you haven’t gotten lost in day dreams with their music yet I high suggest you trek into the wilderness (woods, beach, or mountains are all acceptable options) and do so. Better yet, catch them live and dream away.

Each year WPPI holds a massive wedding photographer conference in Las Vegas. This was my first year attending and I was thrilled to hang out with a ridiculously talented crew of photographers. There was a surprise wedding vow renewal, a clown-car-packed ride out to the desert, a mega dance party at Lazers & Blazers, confetti that followed everyone home, and a little Henney. Thank you friends for all of the shenanigans and the permanent smile that hasn’t left my face – you guys are a total blessing.

While I was in traveling in Thailand and Myanmar on my latest photo mission trip I took my Lomo LC-A+ out to play. What a little beauty that Lomo is.

Kimmy & Ryan are getting married in August and after their engagement session I’m even more excited to hang out with these two on their wedding day! We hit up Volunteer Park with their polite sweet pup Daisy, took a happy hour + Stumptown cold brew Time Out at Oddfellows, and visited Elliot Bay Books. Kimmy teared up while telling me how she feels so lucky to marry her best friend – it’s moments like those that make me fall in love with weddings all over again.

Also I have to mentioned Kimmy’s ring – Ryan had it custom made for her with his Grandmother’s diamond. Talk about incredible!

Thanks for the fun times guys, can’t wait to party with you this summer!
