Kendall and Nick's engagement

Kendall and Nick's engagement
When Kendall emailed me about her wedding for next year, I was already booked. I was thrilled when she asked me to photograph their engagement anyway!! They are such a sweet couple and so much fun to photograph. We headed up to Mt. Adams on a bright sunny morning last week. Here are a few photos from our time together ...



I like how this one looks like sunset ... when in fact it was 9:30 in the morning ...


Kendall has amazing eyes! And that blue dress made them 'pop' even more!


Kendall and Nick, I had such a great time with the two of you! I wish you all the best and hope you have a fabulous wedding day!

Annie and Ryan's wedding

Annie and Ryan's wedding

I met Annie and Ryan at their engagement session. They headed up here from Arizona for the session and we got pummeled with snow. Their wedding day, had much better weather!
I started out at CuraBella Salon and got some shots of Annie and a couple of her bridesmaids getting their hair done ...

Annie found this fabulous brooch that she wanted to use in her hair ...
which looked beautiful ...
getting the veil on ...
and checking everything out ...

the shoes ... (which had like 4.5" heels on them!)
the rings ...
I loved this little clutch that she carried ...
putting her makeup on ...
Her mom was sitting downstairs and I loved the wall of pictures behind her ...

I just liked the light in this one ...
