Heather + Keith are so much fun, totally relaxed, and crazy in love!  Heather even smashed cake in Keith’s face- woot!  (It happens way less than you would think-get to smashing, people!)

Here are some of my favorites from the day…

Sweet baby Reed, just 12 days old…

Congrats to my friends Brian and Emmy!

The ceremony was held overlooking Mt. Rainer at the Seattle Tennis Club, followed by some portraits at Volunteer Park, and then dinner at The Herbfarm.  If you haven’t been to the Herbfarm, I would highly suggest checking it out if you have a special occasion coming up.  They give a tour of their garden (which was spectacular!) and you get to taste the different flowers and herbs that will later be served in your 9 course dinner. I didn’t have dinner that night, but I did have some sort of herb infused water.  I’m pretty sure it was the most delicious water I have ever tasted. (or maybe I was really thirsty, not sure which it was)

Laura + Kyle, thanks for making me your 11th guest. ♥

On the first nice day of the year, Ashley and Hannes got hitched at a charming country location just outside Leavenworth.  The sweet sounds of the Dusty 45’s filled the air as family and friends celebrated.  It was a super awesome and amazingly beautiful day!  Congratulations you guys!

Thanks to my 2nd shooter extraordinaire, Keri Pinzon, for providing me with constant support, friendship, and awesome images!!
