Matt and Amy are a fun fun couple! They met on a beautiful sunny day in Maine and Amy caught Matt’s eye with her tenacity in learning to surf in the freezing water. They love doing anything if it means they are together but top of their list are traveling and exploring the beauty of a foreign city, reading the Sunday newspaper over a cup of coffee (it’s likely that Matt roasted the beans himself!), and hiking anything from volcanoes to rain forests. They have such a love for each other that can only add to their capacity to love the friends and family around them.

It’ll be my honor to be their to capture their wedding day memories at Seattle’s Lake Union Cafe later this month! Can’t wait!

Matt has inspired Jake and I to start roasting our own coffee using the very same air popper my family used to pop popcorn while watching super 8 home movies on the wall when I was a kid. We quickly upgraded and are anxiously awaiting the arrival of a fancy new drum roaster. I love DIY stuff!

Nicole first contacted me about an Oplove homecoming session and we were both excited about being there to see Michael come home from his deployment (granted, she was infinitely more excited than me!).  Then, as often happens with the military, dates changed and it didn’t end up working out, so I was especially excited to get to meet the two of them after all when Nicole contacted me for an engagement session.

We braved the rain on Saturday and as you can see, all the wetness paid off with all the fun and super cute color-saturated images we created!
