rattlesnake lake engagement session - nalani & patrick - pnw wedding photographer

Glowy goodness lakeside, yes please! My last post was a sunrise session at this same location, not a sunset session! So awesome to see the difference in colors, texture and light. But so fun to do the same location but its always different with every couple, that is what I love about working in the wedding industry, each and every one of my couples is something new and exciting!

faberfarm styled wedding shoot - mount vernon, wa - washington state wedding photographer

Planning and putting together styled shoots for a inspired PNW wedding is one of my favorite things. I don't get to do many throughout the peak wedding season, but in the spring as gears are changing, planning a styled shoot is such an important part of my creativity process. You might also agree. Most likely I am not behind my camera every weekend like I am during wedding season so shooting a styled shoot is the best possible way for me to get my creativity bug going and get filled with inspiration before the wedding season.
