Roman + Erika | Snoqualmie Pass

Roman and Erika let us photograph them in the snow and we love them for it! We all piled into a Subaru and took a trip to the mountains. We somehow picked the snowiest day. It was dumping snow and super deep anywhere off the road, which was perfect for a California girl like Erika who hasn’t seen much snow in her lifetime. After playing in the snow, they warmed up with a campfire and hot tea under a blanket. We love when our shoots turn into a fun experience instead of a chore you need to check off before the wedding. Despite spinning out on the freeway and later digging our car out of snow for a good 20 minutes, we had so much fun with these two and can’t wait to hang out again at the wedding!

Vanessa + Brendan Engaged | Manhattan Beach, CA

Vanessa and Brendan are getting married in Seattle later this year, but live in LA. We’re so glad we got to photograph them in their Los Angeles home and at some of their favorite hang out spots near the beach. It was nice to kick off our shoes mid-shoot and get a little wet and sandy with these two.
