it’s the little things…

I'm a bit goofy and always ready to have a good time - I love making clients laugh...it just so happens it's usually at me and some random thing I am doing to get "the shot" - If it's nice outside, I guarantee I will be found sitting in a patch of sunlight soaking in the rays - I tend to miss speak right when I am trying to be sassy, ... so I just end up sounding silly - I love all the noises a new baby makes be it cute or gross - My socks never match and I am proud of it - I avoid cleaning the bathroom like it's the plague. It comes from growing up with two brothers and always being on bathroom duty - I found out the hard way that garlic does NOT compliment everything... and now my husband doesn't let me in the kitchen unsupervised - I still get giddy and jittery before every wedding I photograph - I once thought the biggest gift of being self employed was making my own hours, now I know it's the luxury it gives me to raise my son (born April 2011) without the need of daycare - I love riding my bike, but don't have the constitution to make myself work out regularly - I believe that following your dream is not the easiest path but is definitely the most rewarding one. My dreams since I was 18 was to find the man of my dreams (check), raise a family (check) and create images for a living (check) - oh... and if you want to make me laugh, tell me a poop joke. Works EVERY time.

Splendid Details: Now is the time for planning

Posted in the splendid details show hide 1 comment

The wedding show was this month. It’s a crazy affair of wedding vendor after wedding vendor after wedding vendor in the Qwest Field convention center. I have opted out of the wedding show for this year primarily because I like to sit down and get to know my potential clients; to spend time in figuring out if I am the best fit for them as a photographer. Don’t get me wrong, the wedding show is a great way to find vendors, especially if you are starting out and need to know who is out there and what is to be offered.

So, while I did not participate in the Seattle Wedding Show, it is a good time in my eyes to mention some of the vendors I know in town that are good people, who make great product and really want to do the best they can do for you so your wedding fits into that dream you’ve been having since you were 12 (or, lets face it, some of you its more like 6.

Venue:

Lord Hill Farms (the outdoor venue is my pick because the house you get ready in is BEAutiful)

DeLille Cellars (sunset ceremonies there are magical!)

The Hollywood Schoolhouse in Woodinville (their site is a bit lacking, but check this place out, it is super cute and has endless fun photo possibilites)

The Arctic Club Hotel Downtown

and Fair Harbor Marina by Shelton, Washington. This one I might be bias to as I got married here, but it was an amazing venue and sooo worth the drive

Planners:

Holly Kate at Sweet Pea Events

Megan at Clutch Events

Nadia Ly at Creations by Ly. They are based out of Portland, but they do weddings up here too.

Photographer:

Why….. me! Silly
