Why you should love your photographer...

On your wedding day you will be spending about 85-90% of your entire day with your photographer by your side. They will be guiding you through every step of the day! You want someone there you trust, who is organized, and who you can have fun with!

When you love your photographer and get along with them really well you can let your guard down around them. You can crack silly jokes and laugh and have fun! In doing so, you end up with not only amazing and genuine photos, but you'll have an even better experience!

When you've taken the time to get to know the person photographing you, they will know and understand your specific needs and wants. They will know the best way to capture you and bring out your best smiles, laughs, and natural emotions. Plus who doesn't love making new friends?!

Rachel + Alex: A Fairytale Wedding at Maroni Meadows

August 1, 2024

This wedding at Maroni Meadows in Snohomish, WA was a literal fairytale! It was a romantic venue set into the woods and held a sense of peace, quiet, and serenity while Rachel and Alex prepared for this monumental day in their lives.

Rachel was absolutely breathtaking with her loose curls, wildflower crown, and whimsical sleeves as part of her stunning dress! This day was filled with so much preparation, anticipation, love, and so many emotions. Rachel presented sentimental gifts to each of her parents. A bracelet for her mom and a tie for her dad that included a special photo of him holding her as a baby. One of my favorite moments was the special dance Alex surprised his grandma with during the reception. Tears flowed as he welcomed her to the dance floor, dedicating this dance as a thank you for all the things she’d done helping raise him as a boy. There wasn’t a dry eye in the whole place!

A Fairytale at Maroni Meadows

It truly felt like a fairytale and we were part of an epic love story experiencing their happily ever after. Maroni Meadows was the perfect setting for them. From the romantic way Alex twirled Rachel in her dress and the gorgeous, colorful wildflowers that filled the space to the way they couldn’t stop looking at each other and smiling. I was in awe of it all.

One of my favorite things they had, other than all the amazing florals, was the super fun ice cream cart! I mean, seriously, how cute is this?! It was so cute watching them visit their ice cream cart and share one of Rachel’s favorite desserts! I have felt so blessed to be part of such an incredible day and wish them the absolute best.
