Kayla & Max // Engaged
/Meet Kayla and Max.
When these two high school sweethearts first met, Max was quickly smitten. It took Kayla a little bit more time, but good things come to those who wait. Now, they live happily in NYC and have built a wonderful home together with their baby - a lopsided cat named Alfred. We met one afternoon to take engagement photos in the SoHo / Tribeca area, with a beautiful city backdrop to enjoy.
Intimate. Comforting. Dependable. These rooftop engagement photos captured a tiny glimpse into Kayla and Max’s beautiful relationship. It doesn’t take much time together to clearly see that they’ve developed a true partnership. After 8+ years together, they’ve supported each other through challenges, stress, successes, and celebrations.
This was such a great day! We were nervous that the foggy, drizzly day would ruin the photos but I think there is something magical about a misty afternoon in NewYork City. Perfect engagement photos do not require perfect weather, perfect clothes, or perfect backdrops. A couple in love is honestly the only essential ingredient. Thank you for sharing your love with me, Kayla and Max!
Engagement Photo Details:
- Location: SoHo, New York City
- Kayla’s Engagement Ring: MiaDonna
- Max’s Engagement Ring: Manly Bands
Tyler & Kevon // Engaged
/Meet Tyler and Kevon!
Kevon is my older cousin and Tyler is the amazing lady who's crazy enough to marry him! Together, we had so much fun taking photos in downtown Seattle and Pioneer Square to celebrate their recent engagement.
You know how people say that your partner makes you a better version of you? Tyler and Kevon prove just that. Kevon has always been an outgoing and charismatic guy, but ever since he and Tyler began dating over four years ago, he's become more caring and gracious through her example. Tyler fits in so easily into our kooky family, so immediately loved by the American and Iranian sides! We're all lucky to have witnessed their love blossom and grow, from their fraternity and sorority days at Washington State University to now! Tyler and Kevon are such a balanced couple, enormously loved by their friends, family, and two cats. :)
This rooftop parking garage turned out to be such a hidden gem for the engagement photoshoot, with amazing urban views of the city, Century Link stadium, the waterfront, and more! We also spent some time exploring the neighborhood before celebrating their engagement photos with a few shots of well-deserved Fireball.
For two people who were so nervous about being weird in front of the camera, I think Tyler and Kev rocked this engagement shoot! They are so loving, fun, and radiant together - they made my job quite easy. I love these two and can't wait for their wedding in 2019!
Engagement Photo Details:
- Location: Pioneer Square; Downtown Seattle
- Engagement Ring: Blue Nile
- Tyler's Makeup: Bobby Brown
- Unofficial Love Languages: Badass, Carefree, In-Sync, & Undeniably Meant-To-Be
Karli & John // Engaged
/Meet Karli and John.
Karli is from Seattle, John is from Grand Rapids, and they met - and fell in love - in New York City. A classic tale, with some divine intervention from a dating app. Thank goodness these two met, because they're seriously a perfect match! Together, we explored and took some fall engagement photos at the Brooklyn Bridge Park.
I'm so grateful for Karli and John's positive, cheerful attitudes especially at 7:30AM on a Saturday! But honestly, these two bring out the best in each other and in everyone who is lucky to call them friends. There are people in life who just radiate kindness and accordingly, those people are always surrounded by love. Karli and John are connecters - they bring people together and have such a beautiful, varied array of friends. These friendships that they carefully cultivate together undoubtedly contribute to the strong foundation of love that Karli and John have for each other. They carry that commitment to caring in their work as well, through music and therapy and teaching and social work. They help others be better - and together, they keep growing and improving their own love.
Can't wait to photograph at your wedding this summer in Seattle, Washington! 100% will be crying behind the camera.
Monica & Kaleb // Engaged
/Meet Monica and Kaleb.
These two cutie live in the Pacific Northwest, and have recently gotten engaged. Monica is actually my college roommate and I've been dying to spend more quality time with her and Kaleb! Together we explored some stunning sights in Bellingham, Washington for their engagement photoshoot.
Monica and Kaleb bring out the best in one another. They're entirely at ease together, laughing and smiling so sincerely.
In our seven years as friends, I had never seen Monica so giddy! And as we explored some of Bellingham's most stunning spots, Kaleb and Monica were the best tour guides. I never would have imagined that Monica would turn into such a outdoorsy gal, but that is one of many great traits that Kaleb has rubbed off on her. In fact, he proposed to her while they were on a hike!
The way Monica looks at Kaleb is heartwarming. Plus they are complete naturals in front of the camera, because their affection doesn't have an off switch. It didn't matter if my camera was pointed at them or not, they were constantly glowing. Kaleb, you're truly so lucky to have such an amazing woman as your forever! And Monica, you deserve all of this happiness and more. I can't wait to continue to watch your love grow and blossom. Love you both so much.
Can't wait for your destination wedding in Belize! XO
Megan & Alex // Engaged
/Meet Megan and Alex.
They're kind, welcoming, laid-back, and adventurous. They're always there for friends in need and cherished by their families. Best of all is their love for each other! Within minutes, it is obvious how comfortable and authentic they are together. They know each other's faults and strengths, and love every bit. When I've been gone through tough times, their positive and caring attitudes really have made such a difference in my life. So thankful for these two!
A true VIP, George Michael is the king of this household. He's so photogenic, right?!
After exploring the Kirkland waterfront a bit, Megan and Alex headed to their engagement party at Heritage Hall. A party filled with family+friends+mushy emotions+all the cheese, it was a clear indicator of their amazing marriage to come!
I can't wait for their wedding in Seattle next fall! :) Cheers to the happy couple!

Read MoreAli & Ryan // Cooking Themed Engagement Shoot
/Meet Ali and Ryan. They are fun-loving foodies who both work in the industry, as a general manager and chef! For their engagement photos, we wanted to spend time in an environment that felt natural and comfortable for them. Ryan graciously set us up at Gentilly, a beautiful New Orleans-inspired restaurant in the West Village.
After starting the afternoon with a glass of prosecco, we headed to the kitchen, as the culinary couple whipped up meal! Ryan took the lead and Ali was his dedicated sous chef. It was all a very serious and rigid environment, of course.
Teamwork makes the dream work, people!
Ali expertly mixed some cocktails and we all enjoyed a drink or two, myself included! There are many reasons why I loved hanging out with Ali and Ryan, but the well-made drinks were definitely one fun reason.
These two had "sexy eating" down perfectly. They were pros! :)
After a great conversation and wonderful meal, we went for a walk around Greenwich Village! It's official. Cooking themed engagement photos are my favorite.
Ali and Ryan definitely have a carefree and fun relationship. They laugh easily together and it's contagious! But it's clear that a strong foundation of love also exists amidst the lighthearted joy. I can't wait for their wedding in October!
