Amy & Amanda | Tavolata Wedding

June 24, 2019

They had kept balloons from their trip to Paris to one day blow up at their wedding. Those heart balloons marked the perfect day! They’d been planning it ever since Amanda’s surprise proposal to Amy. The ceremony was full of smiles, tears, personal sentiments and a romantic kiss to make it official!

Straight after the ceremony they celebrated with a traditional Lion Dance as guests were treated to music and a dance performance. As guests settled into a gourmet dinner with several courses from the ever-popular Ethan Stowell Tavolata the evening was interspersed with games led by their wedding party including guessing paddles and marshmallows!

They finished off the celebration with the most romantic sparkler exit. Congratulations Amy & Amanda, we couldn’t be happier for you two! ~Erik & Marissa

What a day brought together by so many special people, family, friends and vendors!

Julianne & Brian | Lake Union Boating Engagement

June 19, 2019

They should have met a hundred times. They had mutual friends, both went to WSU, lived across the street from each other for two years and they even worked for the same company. It truly must have been fate trying to bring them together over and over!

Although fate didn’t win this round, luckily they both joined the app Bumble and found one another. Julianne said she knew they had to meet after seeing all their mutual friends and job! Their first date was so perfect that they both couldn’t wait for the next one, although wait they did since the next morning she was set to leave for a work trip in Alaska and he had a bucket-list trip planned for Iceland and Norway. Needless to say they chatted throughout their trips and were quickly reunited for date number two upon their return to Seattle. They’ve been together ever since and are now planning their wedding and futures together!

Congratulations Julianne & Brian! We are so glad you two found each other, you truly seem like the perfect pair. Thanks for letting us capture this moment of your lives. We cannot wait for the wedding! ~Erik & Marissa

Magnolia Maternity Session

June 4, 2019

We love, love, love working with friends and seeing people again! The last time we took pictures of this sweet family, baby Will was so tiny (well, for him anyway…being that he’s a big boy and will likely be super tall like his parents).

Lauren is possibly one of the kindest souls on the earth and sure makes one gorgeous pregnant mama! It’s possible she will look exactly the same after she gives birth, just without the belly, this mama is all baby bump!

Lauren, John & Will thank you for letting us document this fleeting moment before you become a family of four very soon. Congrats and can’t wait to meet baby #2! ~Marissa & Erik

Demi & Ryan | Discovery Park Engagement

May 29, 2019

She was out one night with a girlfriend and to her surprise she spotted a good-looking guy across the bar. She told her friend he was cute and that friend decided to take it into her own hands to let him know. Luckily this totally worked!

Demi & Ryan ended up chatting that night, exchanging numbers and dating soon after. Even though long distance for part of their dating relationship they were able to grow as a couple, strengthen their connection, and realize they were meant to be together forever!

Thanks for being such a sweet couple, letting us document this time in your lives and congrats on your upcoming marriage! ~Marissa & Erik

Showers Family | Seattle Newborn Photographer

May 10, 2019

From newlyweds to a family of 4! Documenting this sweet family is one of the reasons we love our job. These two kind souls met, fell in love and are now growing their family with not one, but two gorgeous little girls.

Love that Dana & Josh are already experts at rolling with the punches, racing around with their toddler, cuddling their newborn and working as a team to give their girls loads of love.

Dana & Josh, thanks for letting us be part of your lives! The girls are too precious. ~Erik & Marissa
