My cousin Wendy and her fiance Mark were on vacation recently and popped up to Seattle for a few days. While they were here they were treated to Seattle’s famous cloud layer and rain but thankfully we were able to get a short engagement session in between showers. Here are some of my favorites.

It’s been a busy month for engagement sessions! Here’s Hung and Eric’s engagement session from last week. Eric works in Redmond so they like to hang out in Kirkland when they have free time, checking out the galleries and sipping coffee at their favorite coffee shop up the street. Of course we had to go check out the cafe and get a bite to eat. St. James Espresso makes great panini and their ’signature’ cafe mocha was excellent. It even came with a little licorice scotty dog on the saucer.

From there we headed down to the waterfront and watched the sun set from the dock. It was a perfect day!

Erin and Casey are getting married at Salish Lodge on July 12th! It’s coming up quick!

Last week we took advantage of the wonderful weather and headed out to Snoqualmie Falls upon which Salish Lodge is perched for their engagement session. Paying no heed to the dire warnings about being in a place prone to flash floods we jumped over the boardwalk railing and scrambled down to the river bed below to the base of the falls. It’s a beautiful place to be on a warm, sunny, Pacific Northwest day. The fine mist rising up from the falls felt good on the skin as we enjoyed the sun’s rays. Unfortunately for me, it doesn’t play well with camera lenses! I had a few great shots that are *totally* fogged up do to the intense mist. Oh well! We still made out with some killer shots of the soon-to-be weds.

Last week Sara and I flew down to Orlando, Florida for Stephanie and Peter’s amazing wedding. Here’s a slideshow from the engagement session we did at Daytona Beach Friday morning before the rehearsal. The weather was amazing both Friday and Saturday. It seems I get in trouble everywhere I go. I had Stephanie and Peter playing around in the water under the pier and not 20 minutes into shooting there we hear a broadcast announcement from the lifeguard PA system ‘There is no water activity allowed under the pier. If you’re under the pier please leave.’ Well then. Good thing I was finished anyway!

Stay tuned for the wedding slideshow, it’s up next!

We had a great time at Pikes Place Market followed by a walk down the pier to the Olympic Sculpture Park. By the time we were ready to eat dinner at The Old Spaghetti House across the street the kids were running on fumes.

Check out their full size slideshow! Their whole set of images will be online soon at Pictage.com so go register for their event and you’ll be notified when they’re available for viewing.

Kim and Alex are planning their wedding in New Hampshire in 2008. In the mean time they called me to go out with them and do their engagemnt session. We headed down to Discovery Park to enjoy the sun and ended up very near Kim’s apartment in downtown Seattle at Pikes Place Market. It was a great day and I really enjoyed spending time with them both!
