8.5.17 // Andrew and Ashley Squires. I will for sure be blogging this wedding in it's entirety later, but I couldn't wait until I finish these to share some. SUCH a special day between two high school sweethearts. One of my favorite wedding's I've ever shot (maybe my absolute favorite to date) and I can't waiiiiit to share more. *hearteyes*
Read MoreTim and Val's story began in middle school - the kind of on-again-off-again love where they always ended up coming back to each other. They were planning their big fairytale wedding for later this year when they found out they were pregnant. They moved their wedding up so they'd be married before the baby came, planned a wedding in less than 2 months, and it was the most special and intimate day I've ever been apart of. A wedding on the beach with their closest family and friends followed by a brewery party where they did their GENDER REVEAL. The most incredible day full of celebration for their marriage and their baby girl on the way. Tim and Val - I am so excited for you and your growing family!!!!! It was such an honor to photograph such a special day. STILL CRYING OVER THESE!
planning and design: By Kimmie Lorraine / ceremony site: Coronado Beach / reception: Stone Brewery (Liberty Station)

Read MoreCody+Jordan. 06.24.17 /// I will 100% be blogging this full wedding later but I am too excited not to share a few now. Washington experienced a little heat wave last weekend and it was HOT - a 98 degree day in Chehalis during this wedding. My most organized brides are always either teachers or photographers and this one happens to be BOTH, so naturally this wedding was perfect. It's always nerve-wracking shooting weddings for other photographers, but Jordan and Cody planned the dream wedding that couldn't be more fun to photograph. I swear their entire town was there celebrating them and it was such a party. This was a special one and I can't wait to share more.
MR. AND MRS. RAY Y'ALL!
Read MoreShane & Lindsay. A dreary Pacific Northwest spring day made a bit brighter by these two and their marriage. It stopped raining long enough to have the ceremony outside and the reception was the perfect cozy party with the sound of rain pounding on the roof. The perfect day.

Read MoreAllison and Taylor's wedding was perfect: an intimate gathering of their family who traveled from Washington and Arizona to see them get married in beautiful La Jolla on a warm, February San Diego afternoon. A cozy dinner at a beachside restaurant was their ideal wedding reception and gave family the perfect opportunity to catch up and spend time together. This was the most chill, fun and relaxing day and I was in photographer heaven.

Read MoreErinAnn + Josh. Married 01.15.17. There's nothing quite like getting to photograph a friends wedding. ErinAnn has been an important part of my life since I was 20 and it was truly such an honor to capture this day. She planned such a beautiful, cozy, winter wedding and made it exactly what her and Josh wanted: an intimate gathering of their closest family and friends filled with delicious brunch and lots of speeches. She was such a beautiful bride and I am obsessed with her dress - not quite white, kind of grey/blue, and very elegant. I am so proud of my friend and adore the partner she chose to spend her life with.

Huge thank you to Maddie Takata for second shooting for me on this one!
Read MoreI'm not going to gush and get all emotional about how much I LOVE The Big Fake Wedding and everything they stand for and believe in, because I just did that when I photographed the Seattle event last fall. All I have to say is that I had SO MUCH FUN photographing the San Diego event and I have been freaking out so excited to share these images. This was truly an amazing team of vendors to work with and I had such a wonderful time. San Diego - you have my heart!
Read More10.08.16 /// Martha and Thad. This one was a special one. One of the first that come to mind when people ask me about my favorite weddings I've photographed. These two are so connected to one another; their love is so deep and pure and it's clear to anyone around them. I really don't think I've ever photographed two people who were so present during their ceremony - it truly seemed like they were the only two people on that island. Through my whole process working with them: our initial meeting, their engagement shoot... whenever I left my time with them I always said "omg they love each other SO much - that was so fun!" Their wedding was no different. Surrounded by a close group of local and out-of-town family and friends, these two said their vows on Orcas Island where Thad grew up. Family-style dinner where everyone sat together on long tables and served themselves of serving platters. Family and friends staying in big houses on the island together. It felt like a big family reunion and the best party of the year. The rain didn't stop them from wanting to adventure out to the lake and I am SO glad a little PNW drizzle (downpour) didn't ruin their day. Because it was perfect; and these are some of my favorite images I've ever created.
