Wedding Moments That I Love: When they see you walking down the aisle

It doesn't matter if you've done a first look or if you are seeing each other for the first time as you walk down the aisle, the excitement, tension, and emotion is the same. I'll admit that I haven't been lucky enough to photograph a man totally sobbing as his bride comes down the aisle (yes, I'd love that, haha) but even in their stoic moments you can see the love written all over their faces. Sometimes it's in the deep breath that they take the moment they see you, sometimes it's a giant smile plastered all over their face, sometimes it's how they hold back the emotion, and sometimes it's the little grin that is reserved just for you. I love it all.

They all say the same thing, "Yes, that is who I am about to marry and I love her"

And yes, I'm feeling particularly mushy today. Happy Monday :)

Seattle Engagement Published on Inspired By This

I love unique sessions - sessions that really represent a couple, are slightly different, and are full of personality. I felt that Nathan and Melissa's Downtown Seattle engagement session was just that and I am so happy that Inspired By This agreed! Inspired By This is a great blog full of great ideas for your wedding, engagement session, family session, home, etc. Check out their feature here!

2nd Shooting with Chloe Ramirez of Chloe Photography

  I've been good friends with Chloe since before I moved to Seattle. We are both originally from Northern California and we met in Las Vegas at WPPI (a large photography convention). We were instant buddies! When I found out that we were moving to Seattle I was so, so excited to be local to her. In fact, last year I photographed her maternity and birth and she photographed my family. We also get together for playdates, dinner dates with our families, and for coffee and photo talk :)

Wedding season is in full swing here in the PNW and it was a true pleasure for me to 2nd shoot alongside my friend. She is an amazing, talented photographer. You MUST go and see all of her shots from the day! Click on over to her blog HERE.

I got to hang with the guys while they were getting ready while Chloe captured the girls. This gorgeous couple gave Chloe a ton of time for portraits so I made it my goal to give them different angles and different perspectives, keeping in mind Chloe's style (which I know well) I am shooting with her again this Saturday and she will be shooting with me this fall. I can't wait!
