Sami + Brandon // Ace Hotel Session // Seattle, WA

Yes, epic mountain-top adventures are amazing and shooting on the city streets is dope as hell... but there's something so special, so totally captivating about a couple wanting to celebrate the more quiet, slow-paced and intimate aspects of their relationship. 

These two decided to turn their Seattle trip into part vacation, part in-home photo session, and I personally could not be more here for that. They opted for the late check out at The Ace Hotel , so I was able to show up in the just in time to capture all the hazy morning coffee + cuddles. 

Allow me to introduce you to Sami & Brandon.
(BTW- I know it's totally casual or whatever, but these babes got ENGAGED today!!
Do you die? I die.)

Brandon + Sami, thank you for letting me spend the morning with you and document something so tender and real. Your love is a beautiful, inspiring thing and I am so damn happy you two are tying the damn not. All the congratulations to you both!

Whiskey + Love: Moody Seattle Engagement Session // Jaimie & Curt

I was introduced to Jaimie by a mutual friend, and have been thankful every day since. Before I ever met her, I was told something along the lines of, 'Jaimie is the kind of girl you see standing across the street, looking fierce and intimidating as hell, but then you wave to her and her face breaks into the most loving smile as she excitedly waves back.' It's all true... So much sweetness, in leather and lace- how is it possible??

Jaimie & Curt are the kind of duo every photographer dreams about. They are as open, kind and loving as they are beautiful. They live their lives guided by intuition and passion, AND they love whiskey, dogs & good food. See??? DREAM COUPLE. 

For their engagement session we decided to take on Pioneer Square. It went a little something like the bombdest happy hour at Girin, getting serenaded by a brass band that happened to be walking by (wtf is life?!), drinking espresso at arguably too late an hour, and climbing on top of parking garages, loading docks and dumpsters... and they made it all look so. damn. good. 
Jaimie and Curt, thank you for letting me tag along and document your fine selves as you live your lives. You are both so good and words cannot express how excited I am to document your Halloween elopement (yup. that's right). 

Compassion wrapped in witchy attire, I couldn't describe these two better myself.
