Anna & Kieran | Port Ludlow Resort Wedding

October 7, 2020

These two have a love as strong as the best of them. Together for almost a decade, they’ve known each other already through thick and thin. On this day we celebrated their love and a union that everyone knew would happen eventually, even way back when they first met sophomore year of high school.

The day was a bit hazy (smoky skies on the water made for a surreal moment of peace and quiet), which gave us some incredibly cool lighting, plus Anna & Kieran had the waterfront at Port Ludlow Resort to themselves as they shared tearful personal vows during their first look. Afterwards we zipped over to the quaint little church in Port Gamble that made it official.

The intimacy of their day continued while they cut their cake and toasted with their nearest and dearest. Through all the changes and challenges of this year Anna and Kieran showed that their love was strengthened and deeper than ever.

Congratulations you two! What a beautifully full day of happy memories. ~Erik & Marissa

This traditional Norwegian cake is pulled from the top by the couple to see how many kids they’ll have. Anna’s face is just priceless!

When that sweet baby brightens the year! Thank goodness for all the new life coming into the world this year. The silver lining is that many of our families get some extra cuddles in while working from home a little longer.

Congratulations Gold and Eric! What a sweet baby you’ve brought into the world. ~Marissa

Sama & Victor | Gasworks Park Proposal

September 24, 2020

His plans to propose had been rescheduled for months since Covid canceled their anniversary travel plans. They finally had a trip scheduled to San Francisco, but even that was canceled because of the fires so they pivoted and came to Seattle instead! It was pretty special because he grew up here and was showing her around for the first time. Little did she know that the city skyline view he wanted to show her was going to be even more special.

They climbed the hill and luckily the park was pretty empty because of the smoke that day (which made for some pretty soft, pink lighting). He was filled with nervous energy, the moment he been planning for months was finally here. They walked to the edge of the viewpoint and he wasted no time dropping to one knee and popping the question. She said yes! Her reactions and their chatting after were so sweet. Basically she was shocked all of her family and friends had known and hadn’t blown it! Once the magnitude of the moment had passed his reaction falling over to his knees was priceless.

The rest of the session was filled with giddy energy as the two excitedly looked at the ring, each other, and talked about how he had pulled off this big surprise. Congratulations Same & Victor! What a night. ~Marissa & Erik

Danielle & Jordan | Woodland Park Rose Garden

September 17, 2020

The first time they met there were sparks. He knew right away this was a person worth waiting for, so he did, since she was already with someone that first meet-up. Skip to a few months later, when they bump into each other again, and he asks her out on their first date. Unfortunately that date didn’t go so great and he thought he’d totally blown it.

It wasn’t until 6 months later when she sent him a text on New Year’s that he was able to prove himself with a second date and heartfelt apologies for the first. Drinks at the space needle and a home cooked meal, plus great conversation sealed the deal and they’ve been partners and best friends since!

Their adventures around the globe are drool worthy if you like to travel (like us!) and we truly believe that makes them so ready to be married and to spend the rest of their lives together. Can’t wait for the big day Danielle & Jordan, you two are so good together! ~Erik & Marissa

Bergstrom Family | Gasworks Park

September 15, 2020

Love that we always get to work with friends of friends! This sweet family of 3 ended up spending the summer in Seattle since, you know, the pandemic and everything is allowing people to work remotely for the time being. We’re so glad they were up here and we were able to capture some fun, classic Seattle, family pictures for them!

Thanks Monica & Branden, you all made this toddler session super fun, full of motion and filled with love. Come back soon! ~Marissa
